Exterior wall construction

Abstract

An exterior wall system includes two or more wall sections configured to be placed in any arrangement to create a wall system having any length, width, height, and shape. Wall sections of the exterior wall system may be positioned on top of, adjacent to, or opposite each other. Wall fasteners engage top portions of wall sections positioned adjacent to each other. Wall connectors engage interior sides of wall sections positioned opposite each other. In addition, wall sections may be attached to anchor base plates configured on the floor of a building. When the wall sections and other components are configured in a desired arrangement, concrete is poured into exterior wall system creating exterior walls of a building having minimal structural discontinuities and enhanced structural integrity.
