The attachment and reinforcement member for molded construction forms, as embodied herein, has a central portion of expanded webbed steel in which the ends are bent to accommodate covering strips of solid galvanized steel. The invention is embedded in a molded construction form during the form\s manufacture. The strips of the solid galvanized steel extend to the outer surfaces of the form and provide attachment surfaces whereas the central portion of expanded steel web reinforces the form. The result is a molded construction form that is stronger, and one that further provides easily locatable embedded attachment surfaces for bracing means during the curing of the concrete and for finishing materials. The molded construction form has a number of galvanized steel strips, preferably ten with five on each outer surface, located at the standard building twelve inch centers, to provide surfaces for attaching any type of wall covering such as sheetrock, siding, paneling, lath for stucco, or brick veneer. These attachment strips also define the location of the vertical cavities and concrete posts within the construction form.
