System and method for round column construction

A method of forming a concrete column, the method comprising:

• applying a release agent to an inner layer of a first column form half and a second column form half;
• using a fastening system to fasten the first column form half with the second column form half, wherein the fastening system comprises at least one brace and at least one strap to form a full column form from the first column half and the second column half, wherein the first column form half and the second column form half each have tongue-and-groove fitted edges for coupling and forming the full column form;
• and
• pouring a concrete form into the full concrete form.

A concrete column form apparatus, comprising:

• a first column form half coated with a first release agent on a first inner surface;
• a second column form half coated with a second release agent on a second inner surface;
• and
• a fastening system comprising at least one brace and at least one strap to fasten the first column form half with the second column form half to form a full column form, wherein:
• the first column form half and the second column form half each having fitted tongue-and-groove edges for a secure fit when fastened by the at least one strap;
• the first column form half and the second column form half each are arranged in an alternating configuration;
• and
• the first column form half and the second column form half each have provide predetermined identifiers for placement of the at least one brace and at least one strap of the fastening system.
