Abstract
A method for constructing a concrete building having a plurality of stories in which walls and floors of the concrete building are formed by means of modular form assemblies which can be used repeatedly without disassembling and reassembling includes (a') forming concrete surrounding wall structures of the stories one after the other by elevating a modular inner form assembly to a level of each story from a level of a lower story until the concrete surrounding wall structure of an uppermost story is formed; and (b') forming floors of the stories one after the other by lowering a floor form assembly from the level of the uppermost story.

A method of constructing a concrete building, comprising the steps of:
- a) forming a base structure providing a lowermost floor for a building;
- b) providing an inner form having an upper vertically extending form portion disposed inward of an integral lower vertically extending form portion, a horizontal beam forming portion, and a vertical post forming portion so that the resulting horizontally extending beam is thicker than the vertical wall portion;
- c) providing an outer form;
- d) positioning on the base structure the inner and outer forms in juxtaposition for therebetween defining a concrete receiving chamber;
- e) filling the chamber with concrete;
- f) curing the concrete;
- g) stripping the forms from the cured concrete and thereby exposing a first integral concrete wall, beam, and post providing at least a portion of a first floor of the building;
- h) providing a jack assembly and a clamp assembly, each assembly operatively secured to the inner form;
- i) elevating the inner form by operating the jack assembly;
- j) clamping the clamp assembly to the horizontal beam and thereby positioning the inner form at a selected position;
- and
- k) positioning the outer form relative to the inner form and thereby defining another concrete receiving chamber.
