Abstract
An insulated concrete building block 10, a method of making block 10 by pouring concrete around a block of insulation 53 in a form box 50, and a construction system employing various alternate configurations of block 10 in a method of construction wherein scaled miniatures of the various blocks are employed to build a model of the structure to be realized, followed by realization of the structure with full scale blocks. Alternate block molding and block keying embodiments are disclosed.
