Abstract
A construction system for floors and/or roofs includes a foam form configured to engage one or more beams. When the form engages the beams, the form is further attached and secured by an attachment system. Other attachment and support components are added to the form and/or beam. Concrete is poured onto the form to create one distinct monolithic unit.

8 . The construction system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the beams are comprised of one or more of: steel, galvanized steel, and, any other metal; acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polyvinyl chloride, and, any other plastic; and, wood.
9 . The construction system described in claim 1 , wherein the means for securing includes a means for anchoring and a means for engaging.
10 . The construction system as recited in claim 1 , further comprising means for supporting rebar.
11 . The construction system as recited in claim 1 , further comprising rebar.
12 . The construction system as recited in claim 1 , further comprising one or more grade pins.
13 . The construction system as recited in claim 1 , further comprising anchor base plates, wherein the anchor base plates are comprised of one or more of: steel; galvanized steel; and, any other metal.
14 . A floor and roof construction system comprising:
one or more beams; one or more forms comprised of one or more of: a cement-foam composite; polyurethane foam; polystyrene foam; expanded polystyrene; and, extruded polystyrene, wherein the one or more forms is configured to engage the one or more beams; an attachment system, wherein the attachment system secures the one or more beams for the one or more forms; and concrete, wherein the concrete is poured onto the one or more forms to create one distinct monolithic unit.
15 . The construction system as recited in claim 14 , wherein the one or more forms includes one or more layers.
16 . The construction system as recited in claim 14 , wherein the one or more forms sections include protruding ends and receiving ends, wherein the receiving ends are configured to engage the protruding ends.
17 . The construction system as recited in claim 14 , wherein the one or more forms include cavities for ductworks.
18 . The construction system as recited in claim 14 , wherein the one or more forms include one or more conduits.
19 . The construction system as recited in claim 14 , further comprising:
a rebar support configured to engage a center portion of the form; and, rebar positioned within the rebar support.
20 . The construction system as recited in claim 14 , wherein the attachment system further comprises:
one or more attachment and support stands; and one or more anchor pins, wherein the one or more anchor pins is configured to be inserted through an opening in the one or more attachment and support stands to secure the one or more forms to the one or more beams.
21 . The construction system as recited in claim 20 , wherein the one or more attachment and support stands is configured to engage rebar.
22 . The construction system as recited in claim 14 , further comprising one or more grade pins attached to the one or more forms, wherein the one or more grade pins are comprised of: acrylonitrile butadiene styrene; polyvinyl chloride; and, any other plastic.
23 . The construction system as recited in claim 14 , wherein the attachment system is comprised of one or more of: acrylonitrile butadiene styrene; polyvinyl chloride; and, any other plastic.
24 . The construction system as recited in claim 20 , wherein the one or more attachment and support stands is comprised of one or more of: steel, galvanized steel, and, any other metal; concrete; and, clay brick.
25 . The construction system as recited in claim 14 , further comprising a rebar support attached to the one or more forms, wherein the rebar support is comprised of one or more of: steel; galvanized steel; and, any other metal.
26 . The construction system as recited in claim 25 , further comprising one or more rebar, wherein the rebar support and the attachment and support stands engage the one or more rebar.
27 . A floor and roof construction system comprising:
one or more beams, wherein the one or more beams include openings; one or more forms configured to engage the one or more beams, the one or more forms further configured to be positioned adjacent to each other with one or more receiving ends of the one or more forms configured to engage one or more protruding ends of the one or more forms, the one or more forms comprised of one or more of: a cement-foam composite; polyurethane foam; polystyrene foam; expanded polystyrene; and, extruded polystyrene, wherein the one or more forms further comprises:
one or more cavities within the one or more forms for receiving ductworks;
one or more conduits within the one or more forms for receiving utility lines;
one or more layers configured to attach to a top center portion of the one or more forms; and
an attachment system for attaching the one or more beams to the one or more forms, the attachment system comprising:
one or more anchor pins; and
one or more attachment and support stands; and
a rebar support configured to engage the one or more forms and further configured to support rebar; rebar; and one or more grade pins attached to the one or more forms.
28 . The construction system as recited in claim 27 , further comprising concrete, wherein the concrete is poured onto the one or more forms to create a monolithic unit.
29 . The construction system as recited in claim 27 , wherein the one or more beams are comprised of one or more of: steel, galvanized steel, and, any other metal; and, wood.
30 . The construction system as recited in claim 27 , wherein the one or more beams, the one or more anchor pins, the one or more attachment and support stands, and the one or more grade pins are comprised of one or more of: acrylonitrile butadiene styrene; polyvinyl chloride; and, any other plastic.
