Abstract

A building construction system for setting up and casting a stem wall foundation. The system comprises a plurality of forms, a plurality of code clips configured to fix the forms; and a plurality of code spacers having a body, a partially encircling clasp protruding from a first end portion of the body, and an elongated neck structure at a second end portion of the body and having a top receiving channel and a bottom receiving channel snapping the form in a vertical position. One of the code spacers is snapped onto a reinforcement bar and another of the spacers is distanced adjacently such that the elongated neck structure of code spacers facing opposite to each other, and the reinforcement bar is accommodated on the clasps of both the code spacers laterally and perpendicularly and two reinforcement bars accommodated at a junction of the body and the elongated neck structures.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to building construction systems, and more particularly, to non-structural spacers having specialized contours for constructing structures, such as, stem wall foundations, and the like, according to building code requirements even in areas prone to natural calamities, in a fast, easy, reliable, inexpensive, and effective manner.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Constructing a building in areas / locations prone to natural calamities such as high winds, earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods, presents special challenges. The climate and weather conditions in these areas are suited to concrete construction. To facilitate quick and easy construction in these areas, concrete is cast in place over steel reinforcement and in this regard, various types of structural spacers are suggested in the prior art. However, the conventional means of construction does not provide means for carrying a plurality of reinforcing materials, suc...
