A method and system for constructing wall panels made of a foam insulation wythe and a concrete structural wythe. The insulation wythe is made up of a foam plank having a body having opposing flanges and receiving mounting angles that provide attachmen t for interior building finish. The method of the invention includes the steps of placing a plurality of insulation wythes adjacent to each other on a horizontal surface within a mo ld such that the plank bodies point upwardly, pouring concrete over the sections, allowing th e concrete to cure to form the structural wythe, then tilting the finished wall panel to a substantially vertical orientation. Optionally, the method of the present invention includes the steps of placing spacers between adjacent planks, placing mounting angles in the undersides o f the primary wall sections and placing reinforcing means over the sections within the mol d.
