Formwork Melbourne: builders and head contractors can book it as one scope. Cinerari Contracting forms walls, columns, slab edges, suspended slabs and pits to your drawings, fixes the steel inside the forms and strips them once the concrete has cured. It sits within our full formwork and reinforced concrete service.
Builders and head contractors call us when a structure needs a form crew that can read a drawing and hold a line. That could be walls and columns on a commercial build, suspended slabs over a basement, slab edges on a townhouse site or pits on a civil package.
The formwork decides how the finished concrete looks and sits. We build each form square, braced and ready for the load, then strip it clean. If you want to see how the steel and the pour fit in, read FRP concrete explained, or see our concrete slabs work.
Here is the formwork we build for builders and civil teams:
Every form is built once, for one drawing. The concrete face you get is only as good as the form it was poured against.
A form that bows, leaks or shifts shows up in the concrete. You end up with a wall out of line or a slab edge that needs rework. We set out, brace and check every form before the steel goes in and the pour starts.
We’ve formed on civil, rail and industrial sites, so tight access, other trades working around us and a moving programme are normal for our crews. We work to your sequence, keep the work area safe and leave it tidy.

A formwork job on a Cinerari site follows this order. Each step is checked before the next one starts.
Read the drawings and mark out lines and levels
Build and brace forms for walls, columns and slab edges
Fit propping for suspended slabs
Check plumb, level and dimensions
Fix the steel inside the forms
Run a pre-pour check on forms and bracing
Watch the forms through the pour
Strip after curing and leave the area clean
Share the drawings, the list of elements and your programme so we can see what needs forming.
We confirm what's included, full package or labour-only, and when a crew can mobilise.
We build, brace and check the forms before steel and pour, with hold points along the way.
Forms come off after curing and the work area is left tidy for the next trade.
Our formwork crews are booked by:
Builders forming walls, columns and slab edges
