Formwork -
One of many construction methods, formwork has facilitated the development of concrete high-rise buildings and various other structures since the early 20th centry. Ready-mixed concrete is poured into formwork to create structural elements, such as load bearing walls, columns, stairs and slabs. Plywood, steel and plastic are some types of formwork material used to shape the concrete as it cures.

Tips on Estimating Formwork Costs from RSMeans
 | The selection of the forms best suited for the job and the total square feet of forms required for efficient concrete forming and placing are key elements in estimating concrete construction. When estimating the number of forms and reuses for a job, remember to have enough forms on hand to keep the forming crew(s) busy while the previously poured concrete sets and starts to cure. Also study the plans and specifications to ensure that all special accessory requirements have been included in the cost estimate. |
