Slab formwork is key for perfect concrete slabs—whether for residential floors, commercial warehouses, patios, or garage foundations ��️.
Prep first: Inspect the site for uneven ground, check materials (panels, beams, supports) for damage, and gather tools (spirit level, string line, tape measure).
Mark the perimeter with pegs/string, use the 3-4-5 method for squareness (vital for level patios/warehouses), and drive stakes every 600-1000mm.
Assemble formwork: Fix boards to stakes, level them, secure supports and bracing, and seal joints to avoid concrete leakage.
Double-check levels/supports before pouring. Let concrete cure fully before removing formwork—always wear PPE (hard hat, steel-toed boots, gloves)!
Proper formwork = smooth, durable slabs. Follow these steps for success!
