Abstract
A modular form system for constructing insulated concrete walls comprises spaced apart vertical frame members which include retention structures allowing for the insertion of spaced-apart rows of insulated panels to form an internal cavity into which concrete may be poured. The retention structures may include flanges on the periphery of the frame members and plates positionable in opposition to the flanges. The insulated panels are retained between the flanges and the plates.

A modular concrete form system for constructing a wall comprising:
- a plurality of modular form members spaced along a perimeter of said wall to be constructed, each of said modular form members comprising:
- a first post, said first post comprising a first flange and a first web;
- a second post, said second post comprising a second flange and a second web;
- a plurality of post connecting members extending between said first web and said second web;
- a plurality of first panel retaining members, each of said first panel retaining members selectively seatable on one of said post connecting members in proximity to said first web;
- a plurality of second panel retaining members, each of said second panel retaining members selectively seatable on one of said post connecting members in proximity to said second web;
- each of one or more first insulating panels being retained between respective first flanges and first panel retaining members of adjacent spacing form members;
- and
- each of one or more second insulating panels being retained between respective second flanges and second panel retaining members of adjacent spacing form members.

A modular form system for constructing an insulated wall, said modular form system comprising:
- a plurality of modular form members spaced along a perimeter of said wall to be constructed, each of said modular form members comprising:
- a vertical first post and a vertical second post, each of said first and second posts having a longitudinal axis extending in the vertical direction and comprising:
- a web extending along said longitudinal axis;
- a first abutment surface extending from said web parallel to said perimeter;
- a second abutment surface extending from said web parallel to said perimeter and wherein said first abutment surface and said second abutment surface are opposed across a plane transverse to said perimeter;
- wherein said first and second abutment surfaces of said first post and said first and second abutment surfaces of said second post are opposed across said perimeter;
- a plurality of post connecting members extending between said first post and said second post;
- a plurality of first panel retaining members, each of said first panel retaining members selectively seatable on ones of said post connecting members to accommodate a first panel of insulation between said first or second abutment surface of said first post on a side of said first panel and said first panel retaining members on an opposing side of said first panel;
- and
- a plurality of second panel retaining members, each of said second panel retaining members selectively seatable on ones of said post connecting members to accommodate a second panel of insulation between said first or second abutment surface of said second post on a side of said second panel and said second panel retaining members on an opposing side of said second panel.
