ABSTRACT:
A pre-fabricated building foundation form assembly is installed beneath a building floor which is temporarily supported in its final position. The form assembly comprises a plurality of form stiffeners which are spaced apart along a proposed foundation wall and extend downwardly from the floor, each stiffener having laterally spaced apart inner and outer edges. A flexible sheet form element has laterally spaced apart upper portions connected to the edges of the stiffeners and a lower portion spaced below the stiffeners so as to form an essentially continuous elongated container below the stiffeners and in contact with the site surface. A flowable and settable foundation material essentially fills a space within the container and between the flexible sheet forms and extends essentially continuously upwardly from the site surface to a lower surface of the floor assembly to support the floor assembly thereon when the foundation material has cured. Preferably, the stiffeners restrict lateral movement of upper portions of the flexible sheet form element so that lower portions of the flexible sheet form element have a lateral width greater than space between upper portions of the form element to form foundation footings of suitable width.
