Prepare a list of all the scopes of work
that involves concreting which also
involves formworks and scaffoldings
This is an example of a list of the
scopes of work.
Preferably, estimates should be
done from bottom to top or from
foundation to columns.
Other drawings (stair, retaining
walls, etc.) that need to be
concreted should be included.

FORMWORKS (Phenolic Board)
SCAFFOLDING (Wood)
Contact Area = Perimeter * length/depth/thickness
Perimeter = (a+2b) + lapping length (50mm)
OR = 2(a+b) + lapping length
# of pcs = depends on plywood size; in this discussion, 4’ x 8’
was used
1 BD.FT = 1’ x 1’ x 1”
BRACING or FRAME of Forms (Wood)
Qty of SCAFFOLD = Height/Length/Contact
Area * Factor
Qty of BRACE/FRAME = Contact Area * Factor OR # of plywood * Factor
