An improved apparatus for defining a mold to allow the pouring of a concrete wall therein is disclosed along with a method of use thereof wherein two identically configured panel members each define slots therein which receive flanges of a connecting member. The connecting member is designed to be placed into the slots in the panel members at the site of construction thereby allowing shipment of the panel members as well as the connecting members to the construction site collapsed or packaged in a compact manner. The connecting member includes a central spacer mid section which can be configured having various lengths in order to accommodate forming of concrete poured walls of different thicknesses based upon the decision made at the site of construction. The flanges extend vertically preferably completely through the slots in the panels to define vertical attachment surfaces spaced apart at preferably approximately twelve inch intervals to facilitate attachment of items to the panels of the final construction. When unhardened concrete is poured into the space defined between the panels by the distance of the spacer mid-section of the connecting member it forms vertical and horizontal concrete columns when hardened to provide a significantly strengthened wall configuration.
