(57) A composite wall includes a foam layer and a concrete layer. The wall includes at least one wall continuous load path structure within the concrete layer and extending from a bottom edge to a proximate a top edge of the wall. The at least one continuous wall load path includes a bottom bracket configured to be secured to a mount in a foundation, a lifting member proximate a top surface of the wall, wherein the concrete layer includes a cavity that exposes an aperture in the lift mechanism, such that the lifting member can be engaged to tilt the wall into an upright position, and a joining member configured to connect the bottom bracket to the lifting member.
