A building foundation wall is assembled from a plurality of rectangular prefabricated wall panel sections constructed of preservative treated lumber. The prefabricated sections are of standardized configurations adapted when disposed in end to end abutment to be substantially self aligning with each other, the standardized configurations including first and second configurations adapted to mate with each other to form a corner of the wall and other configurations adapted to abut each other in a tongue and groove relationship. All panels have an internal frame constructed with spaced vertical studs extending between horizontal top and bottom frame members and inner and outer side panels of plywood nailed to opposite sides of the internal frame. The upper edges of the side panels project above the top frame member of each section to define a lengthwise recess and a coupling board snugly received in the recesses of two abutted panel sections aligns the panel sections and secured them to each other. The panel sections are mounted upon treated wooden footing plates laid in a pattern upon a levelled bed of gravel to constitute the base of the wall.

A basement foundation comprising: a plurality of prefabricated rectangular wall sections of uniform height and thickness including (1) a plurality of first corner wall sections, (2) a plurality of second corner wall sections and (3) a plurality of intermediate wall sections joined to form a continuous wall, each of said wall sections including: horizontally extending top and bottom wooden frame members, a plurality of horizontally spaced vertically extending wooden studs including first and second end studs and intermediate studs, said studs fixedly secured to said horizontally extending top and bottom wooden frame members, said studs and said frame members cooperating to define a rectangular internal frame; rectangular inner and outer face panels respectively fixedly secured to said internal frame in spaced apart relationship to each other and cooperating with said rectangular internal frame to define a plurality of spaces, each of said face panels having first and second vertical edges and an upper horizontal edge spaced above the top surface of said top frame member to define a recess the width of said top frame member extending the length of said top frame member and a horizontal lower edge flush with the bottom surface of said bottom frame member; (a) each of said first corner wall sections having said outer face panel longer than said inner face panel such that said first vertical edge of said inner face panel is flush with said first end stud and said first vertical edge of said outer face panel extends beyond said first end stud by a distance substantially equal to the thickness of said wall sections, said second vertical edge of said outer face panel being aligned with the second vertical edge of said inner face panel, said second end stud being positioned between said inner and outer face panels such that it projects beyond said aligned second vertical edges of said inner and outer face panels by approximately one-half its thickness to form a tongue; (b) each of said second corner wall sections having said inner and outer face panels of equal length, the first vertical edge of said outer face panel being aligned with the first vertical edge of said inner face panel and said first end stud being positioned between said inner and outer face panels such that it is recessed from said aligned first vertical edge of each of said inner and outer face panels to form a groove, the second vertical edge of said outer face panel being aligned with the second vertical edge of said inner face panel and said second end stud being positioned between said inner and outer face panels such that it is aligned with said second vertical edge of said inner and outer face panels; (c) each of said intermediate wall sections having said inner and outer face panels of equal length, the first vertical edge of said outer face panel being aligned with the first vertical edge of said inner face panel and said first end stud being positioned between said inner and outer face panels such that it projects beyond said aligned first vertical edge of each of said inner and outer face panels by approximately one-half its thickness to form a tongue, and the second vertical edge of said outer face panel being aligned with the second vertical edge of said inner face panel and said second end stud being positioned between said inner and outer face panels such that it is recessed from said aligned second vertical edges of said inner and outer face panels to form a groove; said first corner wall sections having said first vertical edges of said inner and outer face panels abutting said second vertical edges of said inner and outer face panels of said second corner wall section and said intermediate wall sections being joined to one of the group of (i) said first corner wall section, (ii) said second corner wall section, or (iii) said intermediate wall section.
