BACKGROUND

[0001] 1. Field of the Disclosure

[0002] This invention relates generally to construction.

[0003] 2. The Prior Art

BACKGROUND

[0004] Installation of a structure using concrete may take on the order of 40 to 50 hours and require the use of 3 or 4 different construction trades. Using conventional methods to build the structure at least five steps need to be taken. First, a hole must be dug to anchor the structure. Second the footing must be installed with rebar and a steel mat. Third, a block needs to be constructed on sight in the shape of the structure. Fourth, the concrete must be poured into the block; at this point the concrete must be allowed to set. Fifth, the desired finish is then adhered to the concrete.

[0005] This method is time consuming, expensive, and is limited in the shapes that may be chosen for the structure. For example, features such as cantilevered bars require additional rebar to be installed in the footing and then shaped to form the desired overhang. Also, many aesthetical detail require significant structural work to be added.
