What to Look for in Formwork Manufacturers

Most large-scale building constructions or multi-home building sites will rely a great deal on formwork manufacturers to supply the many and varied steel-plate, wood, plywood, and plastic moulds for the extensive concrete panels that go into almost all new builds. Reliable formwork manufacturers will be expected to produce and supply metal-beam frame modules able to be systematically reused throughout the entire building construction. Similarly, most building constructions will require frame modules for the large number of concrete slabs needed for the aforementioned multi-storey towers and multi-home building projects.

As with mouldings for slabs and beam modules, you should expect formwork manufacturers to be able to supply all steel plates for economy-form panels, decking panels, filler panels and deck fillers, box-floor centres, external corner angles, flex-form panels, appropriate mouldings for economy-panel column and circular-column boxes, and mouldings for every Kwikstrip beam. All formwork manufacturers should also be able to supply all the relevant supporting materials required for any building construction site. Any large- or small-scale construction site will need to meet the demand of the clips and wedges required to hold together all the moulded panels and column boxes safely and securely.

You will expect the same manufacturers to supply all the double-headed jacks needed for the support of the Kwikstrip beams used in any decking system as well; the same applies to the number of cantilever brackets for areas without adequate support from beneath. Furthermore, no safety-conscious building construction site can operate without scaffolding. Selflock scaffolding is recommended for smaller-scale building or renovation projects, especially for the lesser-skilled labourer. However, for a larger scale and unconventional build, Kwikstage scaffolding would provide a more suitable and budget-conscious solution that is still easy to assemble, transport, and store. It is also important to note that these are available in more variable heights, lengths, and widths.
