A reusable bracket assembly for supporting a wooden form member during the pouring of a concrete tilt-up panel on a horizontal base, and which permits a concrete column to be formed integrally on the panel. The bracket assembly comprises two plates formed of heavy metal, such as steel, and supported in spaced and parallel relationship in an upright position by adjustable telescoped elongated members. The plates have holes in them which enables them respectively to be nailed, or otherwise attached to two corresponding wooden forms on opposite sides of the column to be formed on the panel. An upright post is adjustably attached to one of the elongated members adjacent to the inner plate to support the assembly in an upright position until the poured concrete panel starts to set. Then, the post is removed, and the hole left by it in the concrete panel is filled with concrete. At that stage, the concrete panel has set sufficiently to hold the assembly upright until the panel and column have completely set. After the panel and column have completely set, the form and attached bracket assembly are removed, and the bracket assembly is then removed from the form for reuse.
