Jobsite Technical Training & Support

Applications

Concrete Homes Center Seminars
Western Forms hosts regular meetings and seminars on the
advantages of constructing homes with cast-in-place concrete
to visitors from around the world.

Advantages of Western Forms to Mass Produce Housing Units
Western Forms systems have the capacity to be
cycled on a daily basis.
This concrete shell
structure was
poured in
5 days, with 40
form workers
Approximately 400m2 of living space per floor

Western Forms Durability Stands the Test of Time
This developer uses Western’s Vertex brick pattern forming system.
These forms were purchased in 1984 and are still in use today with
over 4,500 reuses.

Forms Created at Western are Modular & Compatible
Western Forms systems can
adapt to fit several different
design requirements for a
diversity of projects.
The same forms were used on
all three structures.

Primary Objective
Strategy:
Introduce “industrialized methodology” early in design process to:
1. Reduce time and cost of construction
2. Improve construction quality
3. Utilize unskilled labor with “state-of-the-art” construction processes.
Action Plan:
1. Standardize architectural-structural design
2. Implement work processes to achieve daily cycle
3. Provide “Complete” forming systems approach
4. Improve labor productivity by providing more efficient tools
Supply Contractors and Developers with Western Forms aluminum
forming technologies to reduce the world’s housing unit deficit.

Results of Western Forms Advanced Technologies
1. Lowest labor cost per m2 of form area.
2. Fastest cycle time available.
3. Highest quality finish.
4. Highest return on investment.
5. Highest equipment residual value.
6. Most complete aluminum forming systems.
7. Lowest cost concrete structures.
Lowest equipment cost per use available to produce the
lowest cost housing units when compared to all other
construction methods.
