What is formwork used for and do I need it for my foundation?

Formwork (shuttering) holds wet concrete in shape while it cures, and is typically needed for columns, beams, and slabs. Your contractor can confirm what your specific job requires.

Can formwork boards be reused after casting, or are they one-time use?

Plywood and timber formwork can usually be reused several times if handled carefully, which your supplier can advise on.

Do you also supply timber for roofing trusses and carpentry, not just formwork?

Yes. Timber suppliers on PronearMe typically stock structural timber for trusses and general carpentry alongside formwork materials.

How much does formwork and timber supply cost for a standard foundation?

Cost depends on the size of the area being cast and how many times the formwork can be reused. Share your job details and your supplier will quote.
