Operation of the Preferred Embodiment

The fillable, Stay-In-Place footer, wall and roof forms with a quick clip fastening system 34, with a POP/snap together wall and footer assembly, and with a one pour footer to eave and/or ridge capability has been described in the above embodiment. The manner of how the device operates is described below. One notes well that the description above and the operation described here must be taken together to fully illustrate the concept.

Installation Guidelines are as follows:

    • Step 1. Excavate building site and install plumbing and electrical conduits stubs for water, sanitation, gas, and electrical utilities.
    • Step 2. Create exterior footers to proper widths and depths (per local and engineered guidelines). Desired sizing may come from engineering or architectural designs or from field measurements for remodels or specific environmental requirements (sizes).
    • Step 3. Create interior footers based on the interior wall location, to proper widths and depths (per local and engineered guidelines).
    • Step 4. Place footer Stay-in-Place wall forms in the footer and attached together with clips, straps or cabling. One notes: If footer wall form is a one-piece form, then place in footer accordingly.
    • Step 5. After all Stay-In-Place-Forms are in place, proceed to fill with recommended “Concrete Mix” that provides the structural and insulation values that are desired. One notes that depending on the size of the structure Footer-Wall-Forms and Stay-In-Place-Walls may be manufactured as a one-piece Unit. Therefore, allowing the footer form and wall form to be installed at once. The cementitious fill 100 is placed in a continuous one-pour into the cavity 99 of the wall systems 30,31,34,70. The interior cavity 99 of 3-D section form sections of the wall systems 30,31,34,70 is previously created in the form sections to receive cementitious fill 100. Note each form section 34 is placeable by inserting the male extension 34M into the female receiver 34F, adding whatever rebar and wire mesh is required/desired, and then placing the cementitious fill 100 into the interior cavity 99.
