constructionOuter wooden forms for footings are placed.

constructionRebars are placed within footing forms, which step up from maximum footing depth, aligning with depth of existing basement footers.

constructionConcrete is placed in footing forms.

constructionAfter wooden footing forms are removed, reuseable metal forms are put in place for foundation wall.

constructionOuter forms for foundation wall are nearly complete.

constructionI fabricate an insulated panel to be inserted into the formwork where an internal concrete wall would otherwise create a "thermal bridge."

constructionRebars are placed in the formwork before the inner metal form is put in place. Note the rough positioning of one of the two insulation inserts.

constructionFinal adjustments to formwork are made.

constructionConcrete is placed in foundation forms.

constructionConcrete formwork is stripped.

I install rigid insulation on perimeter of concrete foundation walls; note insulation "insert" within concrete wall to eliminate thermal bridging through the concrete.
