An improved system and methods for forming foundations, walls, buildings and other structures having one or more walls made of concrete or other pourable, hardenable materials. The system uses substantially rigid forming panels and is "open" in that forming panels from a variety of sources can be utilized in the system with limited (if any) changes or alterations to the components used in the system. Such panels particularly include insulating foam panels, and also include other substantially rigid panels of other materials which may provide additional insulating properties. The system and methods provide wall tie rail and corner assemblies that are adaptable for use in a variety of construction applications using forming procedures and techniques readily adaptable from conventional forming system construction and assembly procedures. The tie rails and corner assemblies may be made of a variety of materials to provide properties such as reduced weight and cost, and/or fire and insect resistance, without regard to the panel materials. The forming system and methods of the invention further provide improved footing systems, and window and door construction, and multi-level forming capabilities.
