BUILDING CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM FOR STEM WALL FOUNDATIONS
First Claim
1. A building construction system for stem wall foundation, comprising:
- a plurality of forms;
a plurality of reinforcement bars;
a plurality of reinforcement ties holding said reinforcement bars;
a plurality of code clips configured to clamp said form; and
a plurality of code spacers havinga body;
a partially encircling clasp protruding from a first end portion of said body, said partially encircling clasp capable of snapping onto one of said reinforcement bars laterally and perpendicularly to a length of said body; and
an elongated neck structure at a second end portion of said body, said elongated neck structure havinga top end portion with a top receiving channel, anda bottom end portion with a bottom receiving channel,said top end portion and said bottom end portion configured in a manner, such that, a bottom portion of one of said form slips into said bottom receiving channel while said top receiving channel snaps over a top portion of said form in a vertical position,wherein at a junction of said body and said elongated neck structure, said body is capable of accommodating another of said reinforcement bars.

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.
