An assembly and process to allow for stud walls to be erected prior to the concrete slab being placed and also used for tenant demising walls before the concrete slab is placed. The Easy Wall Track includes a light gauge channel with a leave in place metal keyway attached to the under side for vertical support. There are metal brackets that support this assembly with a smooth rod or rebar driven in the ground. This allows for the concrete slab to be poured at a later date with almost no formwork needing to be placed. This saves money on material, labor and time on the schedule for the retail development company. The Easy Wall Track is versatile in meeting the needs of retail and commercial construction. With walls being able to be erected prior to the placement of the concrete slab would avert delays related to the concrete work.

What is claimed is: 1. A system for installing a non-load bearing wall in an existing building before installation of a concrete slab, comprising: a. a first channel section for supporting the bottoms of wall studs, said first channel section having two ends, and i. being slideably secured to at least 3 support brackets allowing horizontal movement of the first channel section relative to the at least 3 support brackets before being tightened, and ii. containing at least 3 support rod holes, one each of the said at least 3 support rod holes being at the same positions as the at least 3 support brackets so as to allow at least 3 support rods to be driven to the ground through the at least 3 support brackets, b. the at least 3 support brackets being secured to the at least 3 support rods at an optional height off the ground, c. the at least 3 support rods contacting the ground and being secured in the at least 3 support brackets at an optional height off the ground; d. a keyway strip affixed longitudinally to the bottom of the first channel section at a perpendicular angle, and e. at least one second channel section having two ends, one end of said second channel section secured to one end of the first channel section. 2. The system as in claim 1, in which the keyway strip supports and stiffens the first channel section before the concrete slab is poured and without the keyway strip contacting the ground. 3. The system as in claim 1, in which the keyway strip is deleted and instead there is a rigid member secured underneath near the middle of the first channel section which provides vertical support for the first channel section. 4. The system as in claim 1, in which the at least 3 support brackets do not allow horizontal movement of the first channel section relative to the at least 3 support brackets. 5. A system for installing a non-load bearing wall in an existing building before installation of a concrete slab, comprising: a. a first channel section for supporting the bottoms of wall studs, said first channel section having two ends, and i. being slideably secured to one center support bracket and to two end support brackets allowing horizontal movement of the first channel section relative to the center and end support brackets before being tightened, and ii. containing 3 support rod holes, one each of the said 3 support rod holes being at the same positions as the center and end support brackets so as to allow 3 support rods to be driven to the ground through the center and end support brackets, b. the center and end support brackets being secured to the 3 support rods at an optional height off the ground, c. the 3 support rods contacting the ground and being secured in the center and end support brackets at an optional height off the ground; d. a keyway strip affixed longitudinally to the bottom of the first channel section at a perpendicular angle, and e. at least one second channel section having two ends, one end of said second channel section secured to one end of the first channel section by means of one of the end support brackets. 6. The system as in claim 5, in which the keyway strip supports and stiffens the first channel section before the concrete slab is poured and without the keyway strip contacting the ground. 7. The system as in claim 5, in which the keyway strip is deleted and instead there is a rigid member secured underneath near the middle of the first channel section which provides vertical support for the first channel section. 8. The system as in claim 5, in which the one center support bracket and the two end support bracket do not allow horizontal movement of the first channel section relative to the center and the two end support brackets. 9. A method for installing a non-load bearing wall in an existing building before installation of a concrete slab, comprising: a. fixing the height and location for the bottoms of wall studs, b. providing a first channel section to secure the bottoms of the wall studs at the height and the location in step a, c. securing the first channel section at the height and the location in step a, d. securing the first channel section to at least one second channel section or a column or wall of a building, and e. installing the concrete slab after steps a-d. 10. The method as in claim 9 in which the first channel section is supported vertically by securing a rigid member underneath near the middle of the first channel section. 11. A method for installing a non-load bearing wall in an existing building before installation of a concrete slab, comprising: a. fixing the location for the bottoms of the wall studs, b. providing a first channel section to secure the bottoms of wall studs, c. driving a support rod through each of the end and center support brackets and support rod holes in the first channel section, d. securing the support rods in the center and end support brackets at optional heights off the ground so that the first channel section is fixed at the height at the location in step the, e. joining an end of the first channel section to an end of at least one second channel section or a column or wall of a building, and f. installing a concrete slab after steps a-e. 12. The method as in claim 11 in which the first channel section is supported vertically by securing a rigid member underneath near the middle of the first channel section.
