1. A method comprising:

  • placing a quantity of plastic concrete on a first primary surface of a foam insulating panel, wherein the foam insulating panel has a first primary surface and an opposite second primary surface, wherein the foam insulating panel defines at least one recessed channel in the first primary surface, wherein the at least one recessed channel is sized and shaped to provide a mold for a concrete structural reinforcing member, and wherein the second primary surface defines a continuous plane; and

    filling the at least one recessed channel with the plastic concrete so as to provide a concrete structural reinforcing member for the concrete panel, wherein the plastic concrete has a first primary surface and an opposite second primary surface such that an elongate anchor member in the foam insulating panel extends from the first primary surface of the foam insulating panel into the plastic concrete, wherein the elongate anchor member has a definite length defined by a first end and an opposite second end, wherein the first end comprises a first enlarged portion flush with the second primary surface of the foam insulating panel and wherein the second end of the elongate anchor member is disposed between the first and second primary surfaces of the plastic concrete and wherein the second end comprises a second enlarged portion such that the second end interlocks with the plastic concrete.
