Formwork activities require clear measurements, coordination with the site team and an understanding of the project sequence. Our carpentry, supervision and foreman roles help plan and carry out the agreed construction work package.

Defining a Shuttering and Formwork Work Package

Before a subcontract is agreed, the contractor and trade team need a clear description of which concrete elements are included and where one trade’s responsibility ends. The formwork scope should identify the relevant floors or zones, beam and column sizes, slab or wall arrangements, drawing revisions and expected construction sequence. Any responsibility for supplying formwork materials, temporary supports, specialist system components, design or approvals should be documented rather than assumed.

Information to Provide for a Formwork Enquiry

• Project location, construction stage and proposed start dates.
• Current structural drawings and any formwork details or specified system.
• Approximate quantities or the work-package boundaries, including floors and concrete elements.
• Site access, storage, lifting arrangements and other trades that must be coordinated.
• Responsibilities for materials, inspections, alterations and stripping or dismantling after concrete works.

These details help identify questions to resolve before a quotation or programme is discussed. The applicable responsibilities depend on the particular contract, design requirements and site conditions.

Working Alongside Other Concrete Trades

Formwork must be coordinated with reinforcement placement and the planned concrete sequence. For related work, see our steel fixing subcontract services. The contractor remains responsible for confirming the relevant drawings, inspections and approvals with the appropriate project professionals.
