The bracket has an attachment plate for overlying the exterior of the insulated form to provide for a means of attaching the header or rim joist to the bracket. The bracket is provided with an anchoring plate extending from the attaching plate for insertion into the interior of the insulated form. A method of attaching a header or rim joist to a concrete wall formed using insulated forms is also provided. The method involves cutting a vertical slot in the insulated form and insterting a bracket into the slot. The bracket has an attachment plate for overlying the exterior surface of the insulated form and an anchoring plate extending from the attachment plate through the slot into the interior of the insulated form. Concrete is poured into the form and allowed to set, after which the header or rim joist is attached to the brackets.
