Abstract
A concrete and steel insulated building is constructed by forming excavated holes and inserting into each hole a 3-dimensional reinforcing bar cage having a length so as to define reinforcement for a pile and to stand upwardly of the hole to a height above the hole to provide reinforcement for a column having a height of the building wall. The pile is formed by casting concrete into each hole around the cage and setting the material so as to define an upper surface of the pile at or above the ground. With the pile set, a formwork is defined by a series of stacked openable form components standing upwardly and a further body of concrete is cast into the formwork to form the column which is integrated with the pile by the cage. A roof and insulated walls are applied on the building supported by the columns.
