Translating Foundation Design Into Contractor Formwork Drawings

The use of poured concrete to provide a solid foundation and base structure on which buildings or homes are constructed is often a preferred method due to the benefits of poured concrete in providing superior strength, fire protection and water resistance; qualities that surpass block concrete in many situations.

The contractor relies on accurate formwork drawings to construct the necessary frame and mold to hold the plastic concrete until it cures to its final hardness and shape.

Our skilled designers and drafters can translate foundation design layouts into suitable drawings that detail the method of shoring the ground to provide a precise shell in which to pour concrete or other materials; These types of drawings can include the following information:

1.Order of erection and location of wooden members that form shell.

2.Location and specification of embedded steel members as per rebar shop drawings

3.Intermediate supports to aid in fortifying the form.
