Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

Concrete estimating unit cost for formwork installed under an upper floor reinforced concrete slab.


Unit Size

One square foot.


Labor Costs

We figure about 34 square feet of formwork per hour from a crew consisting of one skilled and one unskilled worker.


Material Costs

The price includes 2x4 and 2x8 lumber for the support structure, plus 3/4" plywood . The price uses a -30% to -60% negative waste factor, to account for later reuse of the forming lumber.


Hard Construction Costs, Typical

$2.58 per square foot.


Suggested Quantity

Slab area.


Source of Construction Pricing

Based on crew timing on one project done by Turtle Creek Construction.


Places Included

Architect Starter File, Construction Starter File, Developer Starter File


Comments

For a concrete contractor, this price could probably be reduced significantly with the use of metal pans or metal forms.
