Oh if you use a drone for commercial work, you need to be part107 certified. Commercial work includes social media like TH-cam if you plan to make an income off of that. I watched a video about this last May and then purchased the Part 107 Course sso.teachable.... I studied and learned for 1 month and then took my test. I scored a 95%, which is a testament to how good Greg and the crew over there teach. That link will save you $100 off the course and support this channel.

Awesome system...as an Architect/contractor -retired...I'm very impressed. Very thorough video, well thought out-answered all my questions...jeez, makes me wanna go build something!!!!
Stop it - stay retired, you will break a hip or something - Mr. Furley!
would love to hear what you're saying but the backing track makes that very difficult, trust me, you're info is way more interesting than some guitar riff
😂 😂 😂 😂 I tell my son he got it easy... Bobcat, rebar tying gun, duplix nailer I got 3 of them
Spoiled rotten 🤣
My professor made us watch this for homework, and i cant say this for any of the other videos he has showed us besides practical engineering. But great, well made video! This was way more entertaining than most other construction process videos!
More knowledge from this one video than my 2nd yr apprenticeship "intermediate" 8 week class! LOL
"Because you're not going to sleep before the pour" .....amen to that! Nice work!
Removal of Snap Ties requires them to be "Snapped Off", not ground off. If they are snapped off, they break off "recessed" so grout can fill the void avoiding rusting in place and into the concrete or worse, the rebar inside of the concrete. This is also a code issue.
Love the idea of using an old I joist to get the forms straightened out. Im going to have to start using that. Havent seen that done in Ontario.
Great video.
What a bunch of absolute legends. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your great team attitude is very visible. Loved the finishing dance, God bless!
best video on the subject and I've watched hundreds
Thx so much!!
Super helpful video, thank you. I have the same form system (also pnw) and it took me a while to figure out how to use them to do 8-10' walls. I still like to use longer ties and whalers, but the overall system is identical in layout and design. Love your videos!
I used to build in Portland and everyone used this process. Now in Arizona and they all lay block. Takes forever and more expensive but can't teach old dogs new tricks!!
BEAUTIFUL VIDEO MAN !! JUST BEAUTIFUL
We did a pour just like this a few months agp, good times and a lot of dare I say fun. Foundations can be the most satisfying jobs ! We hope to record a lot more
How much does something like this cost? $$$$
This video change my life, whats all the fuss about music? Do you lose the spacers at the bottom? Whats would you recommend for rebar spacing so the snap ties dont buck rebar? How to you brace the inner and outee corners? Did you give the snap ties a groove in the ply board or do you let it sit with gaps between board? As you keep the spacing the same on the snap ties, do you have selected boards just as verts?
I would love to see this all in a video but i know you guys are very busy.
rebar spacing is generally 12" oc both ways for taller walls for us. Since the snap ties are 2' (panel edges) I just layout the footing so the bar lands 3-4" short of the panel edges. When the forms are new, we stack them on edge and cut a small groove. Smaller than the snap tie so when we beat them into the groove they stay :-)
Wow, this is some intricate and detailed work. GG Tim on the video walkthrough. When you said you were in the PNW I got half excited as we would like, basically exactly what you did hear done at our prop on Lake CdA.
If you know anyone in our region, would love your recommendation.
Thanks again.
😂 let me guess it takes you guys two years to do a foundation
Awesome video. I am a new contractor and I use this 1" 1/8 system, I would like more info on your verticle orientation. What do you do for locking inside corners?
And I notice you don't use strong back either, so less work and your Fondation looks nice and flat.
Great video! I may try verticle stack on top of 2 foot horizontal.
Tons of great info! I work in construction and we’ve done a bunch of really tall forms but always out of 2x10 I like your way much better
I’ve used the 1-1/8 system for a long time and never stacked vertically, that seems super efficient for tall walls. Do you rest/tie the snap ties on your rebar to hold while you stack the next panel?
no we don't, we just "pre-groove" the panels then tap them into place. Most stay, but the odd one falls out and we have to hold it in place. The pressure of the form keeps it there long enough for us to put on the shoes/wedges.
@@AwesomeFramers What tool do you use to pre-groove? It appears that the edges are spaced apart by the diameter of the snap tie?
@@steve5861it looks like they have them all pre cut, most likely they butted panels together on sawhorses and used a forstner or big gold drill .
hey! i just found this channel and i'm impressed! pretty cool stuff, i just subbed.
ps: but a small remark --> I have worked as a side job in a steel processing company and I know how it is with the flexing, it is only a screw and you think "oh that's fine without for this one screw", but no, I have so far jumped two lenses and a splinter was hanging directly in the goggles, without these glasses I would probably have lost my eyesight today, so PLEASE , PLEASE always put on goggles!
We always wear safety glasses, but thanks for the reminder, I'll buys some goggles
Wish I could find guys as competent as you in South Carolina as I want to build a whole house in this fashion with a solidly poured reinforced roof. Tornado and earthquake, hurricane and high wind proof. Great job!!!
I Might have just found my wall "system'' for the house I'm building for myself. ten foot concrete walls. I need that hardware though.....
If you are building it yourself, why not save a lot of labor and use ICF - Insulated Concrete Forms? You can rent bracing from most distributors. You can even take it to the rafters to have a very energy efficient building.
The music feels Tarantino-esque. Kinda ominous when you were walking on the low side of the wall during the pump.
this makes the Gates System I worked with previously look hideously inefficient.
HAHA, Gates. I haven't seen that in almost 30 years.
We had 5 of those max rebar guns. On days where we would form 16' high 160' radius manure pits they came in pretty handy. Only thing is they can't tie the 25mm thick re-bar wrapped around the bottom of the pit.
Awesome tutorial on concrete walls. Can you go 12 feet high with those panels? How many inches wide is the wall? How many inches is the diameter of rebar? I never new about those panels.
Thank you much for the great video. I used to build foundations, etc. from ICFs in NC and am thinking about going back into it but with a method much more like what you’re doing. Could you reply with a link to the ties you use? I’m curious of the different widths.
If you’d be willing to share a little bit of your time I’d love to chat.

Here is a 6" version www.homedepot.com/p/Grip-Rite-6-in-x-1-5-8-in-Steel-Snap-Tie-with-Felt-ST1586WFW/202090741
For small houses invest in duraforms
We use 2' strips too but we do 4x4 braces top and bottom of the snap ties and level the wall with straps and Jack's.
Very Nice clean job.
carpenters are $41 an hour in Quebec so buddy needs a raise
Thats like $2.50 American eh?
Always tie the bar before setting the panels
Have you guys ever dabbled in dropping in sheets of insulation or using form liners for architectual texturing?
never have tried that. I would love to do some board formed concrete
Dude a very decent, clean and professional job done !!
I love this wire tier machine it absolutely speedup the work
Appreciate you sharing your expertise.
Liked for the happy dance. XD
Using this Video for teaching my construction class. Good work, I'll see you at the Hundredaires Club Brunch.
Save me a seat 😉
The thumbnail really looks incredible
Where would I get this system from thank you for the beautiful tutorial
Fastest system I ever used was PERI forms in an industrial pour. Super super expensive and they get moved with a zoom boom but they latch together and you can make almost any sized wall fast. But that was at a mine with very deep pockets. The usual forms I used for residential in Saskatchewan were similar to yours or just sheets of form ply backed with 2X4s going horizontal and vertical. Lot more labour intensive and rebar was all tied by hand. I saw a tie wire gun one time in my career and it was pretty good but didn’t tie the bar as tight as people did.
Still I loved your video, awesome ideas and great work. Done well and intelligently.
15+ years ago we used to use something called the Simplex forming system for up to 16' pours. They were out of the Chicago area. We could frame them as fast as the laborers could hand them to us - just drop the ties in the ears and slam the tie clamp down over them. Unfortunately they must have gone out of business because I could only find old used ones for sale online.
Why don't people shotcrete the foundation walls like they do with swimming pools? It seems faster and less to no framing needed. Not to mention its way better waterproofing compared to poured concrete.
I don't know. Can shotcrete meet the same design loads as cast in place with this rebar schedule?
Very informational and entertaining! That footing has a pretty big step... do you have to do anything special to keep the concrete from flowing out through the lower step (pour rate, slump, baffle, ...)?
Nope just keep the mix stiff and pour halfway, come back in 15 minutes and top it off.
When using a vibrator, I have always plunged the stinger down into the mix and immediately pulled it out to prevent the aggregate from settling to the bottom of the form. The aggregate must always be consolidated evenly in your pour. I will usually vibrate the rebar very briefly if practicable and even vibrate the outside of the form, again very sparingly. I have watched in horror as some guys hold that vibrator down in the mud for several seconds at a time.
Hats off to you. Quality work, Gentlemen.
I gotta say thank you. The moment I seen this video I jumped up and did a little dance because all the supply places would have you believe that you have to rent special forms to do a basement, but you dont! Immediate relization. Upon seeing your video it basically made me $50,000 maybe 100 and I appreciate that, thank you. I was wondering though, if you had any pictures of how you do the outside corners? That would be the only thing I had a question on. Thank you sir and I appreciate you, again
Right on. Never built vertically but use the exact same stuff. But we spray our panels with diesel and motor oil. Also did I see spray foam used to fill a leak? Never thought about doing that. Do this often? How’s the end result? Foam stuck/bludged into the wall a little? Good stuff man. I’m north of Seattle. 🤙🏻
we use JP Strip or something like that to coat the panels. Works really well. Yep we use the spray foam but mostly where it'll be hidden underground. I got that idea from ICF videos on TH-cam 😂😂 it works very well, we can span 1" easily with it and the concrete won't push it out.
thanks for the education ....subscribed
I work in carpentry and have to often adjust to poor concert work and really enjoy watching you're level of profession. Would be nice if we had that skill around here.
Damn thats slick
I prefer the gates wall system!! It is much more efficient than anything any of you people are talking about! You're either a freehand form setting Carpenter or you're not! That 1-1/8 "wall system is not versatile whatsoever! The gates wall system consists of hinged corners that do not come apart. And they are on hinges. All your panels are ran out in full sheets. And then when you get to the end of a wall you fill in with fillers. Extremely versatile!! I have 25 years experience with this wall system. I have stacked up to 24 ft. No problems whatsoever! But to each their own every company does it different!!!
Hod you run electrical and plumbing with poured walls? Do you have to do interior framing with wood?
Very helpful and entertaining, thank you! For a thinner wall, tying the steel after a form is up can help to make sure you are getting cover, but I am not one to really say, because we don't use forms. And now almost a hundredaire!

Really great video. Thanks!
Needs a little more cowbell
😂😂😂😂😂
Great video...(my first from your channel)...just a thought, in the future there will be a BOT helping you with the repetitive tasks...Would love to see that day. New subscriber !
Can anyone ballpark how much (per linear ft/meters) it would cost to form basement walls 20' tall? When I build my own house by hand I want a drive-in basement garage w/ a lift. I'd build an "Iceberg Ranch" i.e. 1-story house w/ a 2-story basement - half the basement could be an auto garage and the other half anything really - maybe a BB half-court or a whole room that's a giant trampoline.
Im not an expert but I noticed they put only one net of rebars ( 2 D net instead of 3D net) is that okey ? Will the foundation be able to support heavy weight like 2 floors above ?
Why does everyone put music in the background of their videos, it really distracts from trying to hear what the instructor is saying.
Thx for the feedback 👍
We always oiled the panels immediately before framing with them because oiling them before you stack them for storage eventually oversaturates them and makes them heavier.
You mentioned about pouring the concrete in lifts but you didn't say how long to wait to pour the second layer. Also I was wondering when you pour the second lift do you just vibrate down to the joining layers or do you go a little bit past the layer in order to mix the two layers?
don't wait too long or you'll get pour lines. We typically try to stay in motion and just go around the foundation or whatever makes sense. The pump operator is a great resource. He doesn't want a blow out either and he pours a few times a day. So we tend to follow his direction.
Can I get this without the music? Goodness I keep having to rewind because the music is distracting. I would love to watch this multiple times but I would like it without music.
No you can't
Civil engineer here...from India.
Great work. I learnt a lot!
Super informational! Thank you!
Thanks Dan.
When I poured basements we had aluminum forms and round aluminum diagonal braces with an adjustable foot to straighten the walls. Wreck Set Poor💲💲💲
That gun is faster than any rodbuster
stop the distracting music !!!!
this was super interesting - you've definitely earned my sub
I've been here before! I need to know more about cast-in-place concrete walls in a high seismic zone - actual house walls, not just basement. Can you point me to more resources?
How about 40 or 200 feet bellow ground. Thinking bunker with 2 or 10 floors. I am serious.
Really good video. I could have done without the loud music in the background. Makes it hard to understand a lot of what you're saying. Again good video thank you.
Cheers for the tutorial, gave me a good understanding of the work required. Much appreciated.
Retire as a hundred aire. That's a great line ,at least you may get to retire.
Still paying for college, 3 kids.Ha I didn't even go. Good news at least there not here at home any more.
Dogs nd cats we called em,not shoes.
Loved the wire tie gun. Wish I had one ,when I was doing walls.
Thanx for the video..
Hundredaire… bahahahaha. 😂 And it’s up to TH-cam to supply the means!
I was a rebar guy. Cutting, bending, . And, actually rebar is kind of hard and heavy to carry.
If you do alot of basements or tall walls I would look into aluminium forms.
Thankfully we don't 😁
Que estas construyendo???
How well do poured concrete walls withstand light to medium earthquake zones?
We have a three man crew that puts up forms in a day pours the next and strip the following day they do two basements a week and do flatwork while waiting on concrete after seeing that rebar tie gun looks like I gotta go buy a new tool
Its worth it. Also you guys are animals, keep up the good work!
the shitty music doesn't obscure your voice enough, it needs to be much, much, louder.
How do you know the location and number of rebars Installed? It seems magic..
great video, with unnecessary background music
Better to support than lose money,that wall could have went to the moon.
With walls that tall, why not spend a little more money and just make it a basement? seems like a waste.
Great vids....would be better if the back ground music was a bit lower.
As a cement mason i have nightmares before a poor of any walls i always wonder did the Carpi-Tontos use enough braces 😓 last thing i wanna see is a bowed wall or blow out
You've been tying bar for 25 years the wrong way and you are super slow at it. With all due respect
So no curing the concrete??
Good job
Slowest rod buster tying I’ve seen, you’d be kicked off the site down here in the local
I'd just use the Simon panels and they concrete is like run diarrhea , I can pour concrete but I can't do the floss dance 😢
I'm wanting to build a house, around 6k sqft, I have went back and forth between symons forms and ICF, obviously right now I am back on thinking symons forms is the better method, this will be a built by me and my wife and we wont have much outside help. But I dint see the reason to have insulation on the inside of the house, I just want to plaster straight over the concrete inside and have exposed utility and HVAC, on the outside I will have to find a way to fasten insulation to the concrete, which thier are many methods, I'm thinking canarock is a good system. Will see, what ever I land on I'm ordering in January
Great video! You guys are called Awesome Framers for a reason!!!
Thx Deric
👍
Simon forms are similar
Nice video. Ive been looking for a video that explains the process until today. Now i can make a plan
Can we build two story building with pour concrete only
Turn off the annoying music and it would be much more enjoyable
I'm building a small cabin and want a basic basement under for storage. Nothing crazy. Maybe 10' by 10'.
What all do I need to know/Google to avoid issues?
I figured I could just dig a hold and pour concrete to make the walls. Seems I was wrong.
very informative thankyou cheers to all work safe . old saying your dead a long time 😇
You coulda chose a career as a teacher as you’re obviously very good at it so you killed two birds with one stone and become a carpenter and a teacher on one platform haha nice video mate cheers🤙
Thanks so much!!
