Abstract
A wall construction includes a number of spaced apart, upright channel-shaped studs having open upper ends, and a number of panels forming an exterior wall. The panels have tie members that extend into the studs. An elongate support member is attached to the studs adjacent to the upper ends of the studs. The support member does not block access to the upper ends of the studs so that the studs can be filled with concrete with the support member remaining in place attached to the studs.
