This is a method and apparatus for use therein that provides a novel means to mark the location of a utility of a home or other building. The method comprises attaching a stencil marker to the form at the location of a utility before the slab is poured, pouring the slab and allowing it to cure, and then removing the form and stencil marker. In one or more embodiments, the stencil marker comprises a lightweight material capable of being folded without failure. The location of the fold is so that at least one indicator hangs down from the form and to the concrete.

A liner for a form is provided. The form allows for the creation of a precast concrete wall to be formed. The liner allows a building material, for example, brick veneer, to be placed in the liner in a pattern. The pattern may be a soldier course that can formed over openings in the precast concrete wall. When liquid concrete is poured into the mold and then hardens, the concrete holds the building material in place in the pattern produced by the liner.

Features for formliners to form a decorative pattern in a curable material and methods of using the same are disclosed. An improved formliner is disclosed with substantially seamlessly connecting components that reduces the need for using adhesives for interconnecting a plurality of formliners in a pattern. Further, the formliner is configured to reduce and/or substantially eliminate visible seams in order to create a more natural appearance in a finished product of the curable material.

A method of producing formwork includes the steps of creating a three-dimension model of a formwork structure using a software application with the formwork structure including a plurality of panels configured for coupling to each other, fabricating each of the plurality of the panels using an additive manufacturing process, and assembling the plurality of the panels based on locating features and coupling features provided on the panels during the additive manufacturing process.

Apparatus (10) usable in forming a building component of a settable material such as concrete with a plurality of facing members (24) such as bricks. The apparatus comprises a base member (12) in the form of a steel plate with a regular array of mounting holes (14) which can receive clip members (26) to support the facing members (24) in position during casting of the concrete.

A system for retaining a flowable and curable building material to form a portion of a foundation includes side walls disposed in a predetermined configuration having a first side wall and a second side wall, and at least one component having an interior cavity disposed in one of the side walls. A bracket assembly includes an outwardly bounding reinforcement post for each of the side walls, a separator bar having a plurality of apertures sized to receive and retain each of the reinforcement posts at locations corresponding to nominal widths of the at least one component. A barrier is disposed between the outwardly bounding posts. The barrier and the component in the side wall is retained in the foundation after the building material cures. The barrier prevents backfill from filling a volume between the outwardly bounding posts.
