ROME WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY
Then again, they didn't have REBAR-LOK TM.

Rebar-Lok system features a high-impact lystyrene casing that houses a built-in tie wire in the perimeter of the frame. During wall construction, the mason simply mortars the Rebar-Lok into place. Once the desired wall height is reached, the mason places the rebar, then pulls the looped tie wire to engage the system, automatically centering the rebar at the core. He then pours the grout to complete the installation. It just doesn't get any easier!

Introducing the REBAR-LOK SYSTEM from Polylok
This revolutionary new tool for CMU wall construction will help you build stronger walls, faster than you ever thought possible. With Rebar-Lok, it's simple to place and center rebar perfectly every time-while eliminating the need to position a new rebar every four feet, or lift heavy concrete blocks over pre-installed rebar. Minimize downtime-while saving labor, time and money-with Rebar-Lok from Polylok.
