Problems solved by technology

The construction of a building is a time-consuming process.
While building techniques have improved and become more efficient, the process for constructing a building requires a substantial amount of time.
The possibility of error is constant because of the assorted parts necessary to be assembled to create a building; and, the errors cause substantial time delays.
Errors result from manufacturing error or human error.
Manufacturing errors occur when components are not constructed according to the dimensions or specifications provided.
Another major mistake is human error.
An incorrect measurement of any component of the building causes major delays.
Another problem is the considerable amount of time taken to make accurate measurements of every component in the building.
If a measurement is not correct by even the smallest of margins, the resulting mistake can be large and costly.
Further, the mistake causes an increase in time for correction.
Either method results in the waste of goods and workers' time.
Even accurate measurements of the component parts cause problems in construction.
It takes time to make accurate measurements.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026]The present invention is described in one or more embodiments in the following description with reference to the Figures, in which like numerals represent the same or similar elements. While the invention is described in terms of the best mode for achieving the invention's objectives, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that it is intended to cover alternatives, modifications, and equivalents as may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents as supported by the following disclosure and drawings.

[0027]The construction of a building can be made more efficient by the use of pre-manufactured pieces that are assembled on the job site. The pieces can be made in a controlled environment that will ensure the piece is constructed to the desired dimensions and materials that are desired by the builder. The ability to reuse forms or castings in the construction of buil...

Abstract

A mold for the foundation of a building is constructed through the use of a plurality of forms. The forms having first and second connectors providing connection of the forms to create the mold when the connectors are aligned. One of the plurality of forms having a bend allowing the form to various angles. The mold may form a variety of shapes, such as squares and circles. The forms are connected together by a releasable locking mechanism that passes through openings located in the connectors on the form when the connectors are aligned. The release locking mechanism connects the forms and provides stability to the mold to resist the pressure exerted when the foundation is formed.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates in general to construction materials and, more particularly, to molds for constructing the foundation of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The construction of a building is a time-consuming process. While building techniques have improved and become more efficient, the process for constructing a building requires a substantial amount of time. The construction of a building includes the process of combining multiple dependent features with each other to form one complete building. The possibility of error is constant because of the assorted parts necessary to be assembled to create a building; and, the errors cause substantial time delays.[0003]Errors result from manufacturing error or human error. Manufacturing errors occur when components are not constructed according to the dimensions or specifications provided. Another major mistake is human error. An incorrect measurement o...
