| 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 |
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.
