Is anybody out there familiar with the Form-a-Drain system of footing forms… http://www.certainteed.com/products/foundations/foundation-insulation/311520 ? It’s a little expensive, but it looks like a great system and eliminates the labor of installing footing drains and the cost of traditional footer forms. Any feedback on the system would be appreciated.

Yes, I have used it. Works where you have a decent level base. much of my work is over ledge, etc, so our footings step most often.
That means I don't use it much, but I would if I could. Labor savings in the multiple jobs in one. Use the stuff with the sock on it.
