ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a device and a method for aligning concrete forms. It relates to a device and a method which is used in conjunction with hollow, shaped concrete forms such as Sonotube forms in order to align, square and properly site said forms to produce optimally supported structures. The key advantage of this device and method are to eliminate the trial and error practice in the aligning of wood columns on top of concrete forms, to provide the ability to center or off-center posts accurately as required by the project design, to provide the ability to accurately set the hollow, shaped concrete forms for the proper elevation, for the correct location, and for the correct plumb level, and eliminate the need for batter boards or wooden edge forms which are placed outside of the project dimensions and used as inaccurate reference points for measuring the placement location of the hollow, shaped concrete forms along the edges of a project area.
