 OUTLINE OF THE
PROJECT:-
1. INTRODUCTION
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
3. COST AND ESTIMATION
4. CONCLUSION
 INTRODUCTION

• This is one of the system identified to be very much

suitable for Indian conditions for mass construction,
where quality and speed can be achieved at high
level.
• The speed of construction by this system will
surpass speed of most of the other construction
methods technologies.
• The labor handles this method effectively to speed
up the construction, to assure quality control and
durability. Adoption of this system reduces overall
cost of the structure.
 INTRODUCTION
• The aluminium formwork system was developed by
W.J. MALONE, a canadian engineer in the late 1970s as
a system for constructing low–cost housing unit in
developing countries. The units were to be of cast-in-
place concrete, width load bearing walls using a
formwork of aliminium panels. To be erected by the
hundereds, of a repective design, the system ensured
a fast and economical method of construction. The in-
situ construction of all walls and partitions reduses the
requirement for follow-on the wet trades. The
concrete surface finish produced with the aluminium
forms allows achievement of a high quality wall finish
without the need for extensive plastering.
 ADVANTAGES OF
FORMWORK
1. No plastering required.
2. Doesn’t required timber of plywood for construction activities.
3. Doesn’t required skilled labor.
4. High quality finish.
5. Requires no cranes or heavy lifting equipment.
6. Suitable for low as well as high rise buildings.
7. Total system forms the complete concrete structure.
 DISADVATEGES OF
FORMWORK
1. Initial high investment.
2. Compares very poorly on modification, against brick work
constructions.
3. Fear of theft of valuable aluminium extrusions & sheet &
hence kit not being complete at critical stages of
construction.
4. Mass housing projects are not as high for investing in
large number of aluminium formwork.

 LITERETURE REVIEW
• Gary R. smith, Awad S. Hannal, (1993), were studied on factors influencing
formwork productivity. Estimates indicate that 30 to 70 percent of caste-in-
place concrete cost is altributable to the assembly and stripping of formwork.
Two groups of factors were found to have a great effect on formwork
productivity, non-measurable factors such as contract document and
measurable factors such as engineering design
• James D. Sumway, (1992), studied on a comparative analysis of concrete
formwork productivity influence factors. Concrete formwork labor costs
constitute over 1/3 of total concrete construction costs. Their study identified
the factors which can reduce the number of labor hours required to erect, align
and strip concrete formwork will help to improve the cost effectiveness of
construction operations. formwork labor expenses constitute nearly 35% of the
total cost of vertical concrete work. Proper system selection, repetitive design
dimensions, efficient scheduling, and carful activity coordination can yield
significant productivity savings. Productivity depends on form type, panel size,
formed surface shape, form height, method of assembly and placement
 LITERETURE REVIEW

• A study report on cost, duration and quality analysis of different

formworks in high-rise building k.loganathan 1, K.E Viswanathan2
concluded that there are several type of formwork are
available in construction industry. The data collected from different
companies to compare the cost, duration and quality of different
types of formworks. From the analysis, initial cost for aluminium
formwork is high when compared to other types. While comparing
with duration, productivity, quality and repetition, aluminium
formwork is an effective technique for mass construction project. For
typical floors aluminium formwork is economical since number of
repetition are high and labor cost is comparatively less when
compared with other types. At the same time aluminium, formwork
is not effective for smaller project. Based on the project type and
floor heights formwork can be chosen.
 LITERETURE REVIEW

•Dinesh Kumar et al.,( April 2015)conducted a research soas to study the present
situation of the precast construction industry in India. In his study two main factors are
considered which are cost and time. For this research purpose data collection is done in
the form of question naire survey and from this survey the present status and scope of
precast techniques are known. A residential building is taken for comparing and it
includes the preparation of plan, data collection from precast industry, estimation of
quantities , and determination of project duration. The comparison showed there is
enormous cost difference between the methods, which the prefab is very high when
compared to conventional on this type of individual houses. The prefab construction for
individual double storey residential building cost is 13% more than the conventional
construction. This is main drawback for prefab construction which is not economical to
construct in this case. At the same time the prefab construction is easy to work and
reduces the project duration, is reduced by 63 days when compared to the
conventional. But in individual houses there are lot of constraints and lack of knowledge
its get struggling to implement in our country. At this stage conventional construction is
economical and comfortable when compared to the prefabrication construction.
REQUIREMENTS OF A GOOD
FORMWORK
Requirements of a good formwork The essential requirements of
formwork or shuttering are: -
• a) It should be strong enough to take the dead and live loads during
construction.
• b) The joints in the formwork should be rigid so that the bulging,
twisting, or sagging due to dead and live load is as small as possible.
Excessive deformation may disfigure the surface of concrete.
• c) The construction lines in the formwork should be true and the
surface plane so that the cost finishing the surface of concrete on
removing the shuttering is the least.
• d) The formwork should be easily removable without damage to
itself so that it could be used repeatedly.

• Outline of work to be done in semester 6th, we will first of
finalize the site of project secondly we will try to work on the
estimation part of few components of residential building.
• We also wish to prepare a model for any residential building
component.
