About this asset

This Giraffe ICF wall brace assembly is a Revit family designed for temporary support and alignment of insulated concrete formwork systems. The assembly features a bright yellow metal bracing structure designed to support vertical ICF wall segments during the concrete pour. It includes an integrated vertical post, an angled support leg with a ground-anchored base plate, and horizontal wooden members that provide lateral stability to the wall formwork. The geometry accurately represents the mechanical configuration of a standard Giraffe bracing system, showing how the metal frame attaches to the wall while maintaining plumb during construction. The model is specifically detailed for site planning and construction sequencing, ensuring correct spatial representation of temporary works.

The download is a 532 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Users should load this family into a project to visualise site logistics and temporary formwork requirements. It is best utilised within a construction phase or site plan view, allowing for the correct placement and spacing of braces along the ICF wall perimeter. The family can be adjusted to match varying wall heights and site conditions, ensuring that all temporary support equipment is accounted for in the BIM coordination process and clash detection workflows.

This asset is essential for residential and commercial projects utilising ICF construction methods, particularly during the critical formwork and pouring stages. It supports site engineers and contractors in planning the installation of temporary bracing, ensuring wall stability and accuracy. Professionals searching for site equipment, structural formwork, or ICF installation tools will find this assembly useful for creating detailed construction documentation, site logistics plans, and temporary works schedules that require precise spatial coordination of onsite construction machinery and support gear.
