Did you know 72% of contractors report project delays due to inefficient slab and beam formwork? When your suspended slab formwork system wastes 3 hours daily on adjustments, that's $18,000/month vanishing in labor costs. The concrete construction industry loses $4.7B annually from rework - and poor formwork design causes 38% of these failures.

A: Plywood, steel, or aluminum are widely used for suspended slab and beam formwork due to their durability and load-bearing capacity. These materials provide smooth concrete finishes and can be reused for multiple projects.
A: Key steps include setting up temporary supports (props or shoring), fixing formwork panels to the desired shape, and ensuring proper alignment. Bracing and leveling are critical to prevent deflection during concrete pouring.
A: Formwork systems are designed to withstand wet concrete weight, construction loads, and worker movement. Regular inspections for stability, joint tightness, and support integrity are essential to avoid collapse or deformation.
A: Key factors include concrete pour height, span length between supports, and live/dead load calculations. The formwork design must also account for concrete curing time and weather conditions affecting material expansion.
A: Removal typically occurs once concrete reaches 70% of its design strength, often after 7-14 days depending on mix and climate. Beams may require longer support retention than slabs due to higher structural loading.
