Estimation of formwork material requirement
• Pre Award Form Management Issues
Study of customer requirement, drawings, layout, schedule, constraints, evaluation of available information

• Ensure -
1. That the diagonal, horizontal and plan
bracing are in position
2. Bracings between towers / tower and
permanent structure used, required at
every 6.0 m intervals in height.
3. That the couplers are provided in each
basic frame at every level and they are
secured by the spring lock pin.
4. Tower spindles are provided at the top
and bottom.
5. Foot plates / U- Heads are used
wherever necessary along with the
tower spindles

• SA= shuttering area executed per month = total shuttering area/duration in months for the activity
• C1=risk factor = 1.1 (to account for delay due to replacement, spare, additional mobilization)
• R= No. of repetitions per month = working days/cycle time

Typical possible usage and cycle time for various formwork activities
Thumb Rules useful for computation of formwork materials requirement as preliminary estimate
Total Wall area = 1000 m2 | cycle time = 5 days | working days = 25 days

Requirement of Timber = 0.006X200 =
• For 1000 sqm formwork in walls, the man hours required = 1.7*1000 = 1700 man hours.
• Assuming 10 hours per day of work, this gives 170 man days.
• For 25 working days, we require 170/25 = 6.8 ≈ 7 workmen in to finish the work in a month.
