👉Construction Tip of the Day:
💫What Is Formwork?
🔴 Formwork is the temporary mold into which concrete is poured and shaped until it hardens.
🛠 Types of Formwork:
⏺Timber formwork – easy to shape, affordable
⏺Steel formwork – reusable, durable, and gives a smooth finish
⏺Plastic formwork – lightweight and best for repetitive structures
✅ Why it’s important:
🟠 Defines the shape and size of concrete elements
🟠 Ensures safety during pouring
🟠 Affects the quality of surface finish
🟠Influences the speed and cost of the project
💡 Tip: Always oil the formwork before pouring to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal!
⚡️Strong formwork = Strong and accurate structure.
