Temporary brace system for a structure

A temporary brace assembly for supporting a wall during construction, the temporary brace assembly comprising:

• a first support coupled longitudinally to a second support;
• an adapter bracket pivotably coupled to a top end of the first support and configured to be interposed between the wall and the first support;
• the top portion of the first support comprising a plurality of top cable coupling sites, each top cable coupling site receiving a first end of a respective top support cable;
• a plurality of first cable struts extending radially from a bottom end of the first support, each first cable strut securing a second end of the respective top support cables;
• the second support comprising a plurality of second cable struts extending radially from a top end of the second support;
• a plurality of bottom support cables, each bottom support cable extending between a respective second cable strut and a bottom cable coupling site;
• a plurality of strut brackets, each strut bracket coupling a respective first cable strut to a respective second cable strut;
• a ground bracket coupled to the bottom end of the second support;
• and
• an adjustment unit interposed between the bottom end of the second support and the ground bracket;
• wherein the adjustment unit is configured to selectively lengthen or shorten the overall length of the temporary brace assembly by increasing or decreasing the distance between the bottom end of the second support and the ground bracket, respectively.

A method of using a temporary brace assembly for supporting a wall during construction, the method comprising:

• coupling a first support to a second support;
• extending a plurality of first cable struts on the first support;
• extending a plurality of second cable struts on the second support, each second cable strut aligning with a respective first cable strut;
• coupling the first and second cable struts to one another, respectively;
• coupling a top portion of the first support to the wall;
• coupling a bottom portion of the second support to a ground bracket;
• and
• adjusting the plumb of the wall via an adjustment unit interposed between the second support and the ground bracket.
