Concrete Formwork Cost Guide - Pricing Assumptions and Notes

This example estimate is for BASIC work performed in easily serviceable conditions by qualified trade professionals, using popular, IN STOCK products, materials and supplies commonly available at home improvement retailers. Your actual costs will vary due to the unique situation, requirements and choices of your project. Work not mentioned on this page, work with schedule difficulty, and work using master craftsman, premium materials, custom built products and project supervision will result in HIGHER COSTS!

Contact us to discuss your requirements of formwork construction. Our experienced sales team can help you identify the options that best suit your needs.

This example estimate is for educational and illustrative purposes - it is NOT a substitute for written quotes from trade professionals. Homewyse strongly recommends that you contact reputable professionals for accurate assessments of work required and costs for your project - before making any decisions or commitments.

The cost estimate includes:

• Costs for local material / equipment delivery to and service provider transportation to and from the job site.
• Costs to install Concrete Formwork in existing structure, without modifications to structure or systems.
• Labor planning and setup time, mobilization time, cleanup time and as appropriate, time needed to achieve minimum job hours agreed to before work begins.

The cost estimate does NOT include:

• Labor upcharges associated with master/premium craftsmanship, expedited scheduling, local labor shortages, difficult or complex site conditions, excessive transit times, service provider pricing discretion and failure of customer to negotiate labor costs.
• Costs for removing, relocating, repairing, or modifying existing framing, surfacing (including molding), HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems - or bringing any systems into compliance with current building codes.
• Costs for testing and remediation of hazardous materials (asbestos, lead, etc.).
• General contractor overhead and markup for organizing and supervising the Concrete Formwork installation. Add 13% to 22% to the total cost above if a general contractor will supervise this work.
• Costs for removal and disposal of existing items.
• Sales tax on materials and supplies.
• Permit or inspection fees (or portion thereof) required by your local building department for your overall project.

Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

Concrete construction unit cost for erection of site-built concrete formwork built from lumber and plywood. This is a general unit cost that covers a variety of typical projects.

Unit Size

One square foot.

Labor Costs

If you are looking for more details, kindly visit symon concrete forms installation.

We figure 55 square feet of formwork per carpenter hour, plus some laborer time (one hour per 125 square feet of formwork).

Material Costs

For every 100 square feet of formwork we figure 66 feet of 2x4, 33 feet of 2x6, and 3 sheets of form plywood.

All the materials use a negative waste factor to account for later reuse.

Hard Construction Costs, Typical

$1.41 per square foot of formwork for concrete placement

Suggested Quantity

We suggest the foundation wall area. If you are using the formwork for other concrete work, adjust the quantity. Also adjust the quantity if some of the formwork uses prefab metal forms.

Source of Construction Pricing

This pricing is the average for job costing data from several projects. Note that we were primarily remodelers, so a subcontractor specializing in concrete formwork can probably be much more productive than the rates we have here.
