Formwork is temporary structure made of timber, wood, plywood, steel, ms sheets etc. It is horizontal and vertical arrangement used as mould to pour concrete, made to keep concrete in position until it gains desired strength, design and shape. There are several types of formwork such as shuttering centring, staging and scaffolding, all are temporary a structure used on construction site for specific purpose.

Shuttering is part of formwork, it is a vertical temporary arrangement which is used to bring concrete in desired shape. Vertical formwork used for column, retaining wall, footing are known as shuttering while centring is horizontal arrangement of temporary formwork used to support horizontal members of a structure such as floor beam & slabs. Staging is a temporary structure which is used to support formwork either horizontal or vertical. It is done by using props, Jack, h frame, cup lock system and wooden ballies. Scaffolding is temporary structure which is made around the building to provide a working platform for labours to work at height and it may be movable or fixed platform.

For common people all type of formwork is known as shuttering either it is vertical or horizontal arrangement, in some areas it is known as shuttering and other in as centering or staging. In this article we know about shuttering labour rate per square feet (sq ft) or per square meters (sqm) for normal residential structure with shuttering materials such as MS sheet, blanks, props, span, plywood, wood, timber, steel etc.

Shuttering labour rate per sq ft (square feet) or per sqm (square meter)

Shuttering rate may vary depending on various factors such as location whether it is urban or rural areas, types of formwork either it is made of timber, steel, plywood, aluminium fabric or plastic, labour skills, contractor profit and height of building or structure whether it is ground floor, 1st floor, 2nd floor, 3rd floor and above. Every increase in +10 feet height increase the 10% extra shuttering cost for lifting charges.

Shuttering rate per sq ft:– in India, labour cost for shuttering only is range between Rs 20 to Rs 25 per sq ft, with bar bending it will be Rs 25 to Rs 30 per sq ft and for shuttering + bar bending + labour cost to pour concrete it will be Rs 40 to Rs 50 per sq ft for normal residential work with shuttering materials such as ms sheet, blanks, props, span, plywood, wood, timber, steel etc upto 10 feet height. Every increase in +10 feet height increase the 10% extra shuttering cost for lifting charges.

Shuttering rate per sqm:- in India, labour cost for shuttering only is range between Rs 215 to Rs 250 per sqm (square meter), with bar bending it will be Rs 270 to Rs 300 per sqm and for shuttering + bar bending + labour cost to pour concrete it will be Rs 430 to Rs 540 per sqm for normal residential work with shuttering materials such as ms sheet, blanks, props, span, plywood, wood, timber, steel etc upto 3 meters height. Every increase in +3 meters height increase the 10% extra shuttering cost for lifting charges.

Shuttering rate calculation/ shuttering cost calculation method

All the structure such as roof slab, floor beam column, retaining wall needs framework of shuttering, for beam shuttering is done on 5 sides, its top face left to fill concrete, in roof slab shuttering is laid only on bottom area and for column shuttering is done on 4 sides, its top face left to fill concrete & bottom face fixed to the ground level.

Shuttering rate/ cost calculation for column

Calculate the shuttering rate for column in two easy steps: 1) first calculate the surface area of all four sides of column excluding bottom and top face, 2) then after multiply the surface area with Rs 20 to Rs 25 to get shuttering rate/ cost for column.

Shuttering cost calculation methods for column

● measure the length, width and height of column, assuming a square column of 12″×12″ size of height 10 feet.

● calculate peripheral length or perimeter of a square column such as perimeter = 4S, so peripheral length = 4×12″ = 48″ or 4 feet.

● used the formula for shuttering area = peripheral length (perimeter) × height to get surface area for column which need to be formwork such as 4 feet × 10 feet = 40 sq ft

● multiply the total shuttering area for column with Rs 20 to Rs 25 to get shuttering rate/ cost for column such as 40 × 20 = Rs 800, hence Rs 800 is shuttering rate/ cost for one square column of 12″×12″ size of height 10 feet.

Shuttering rate/ cost calculation for beam

Calculate the shuttering rate for beam in two easy steps: 1) first calculate the surface area of all five sides of beam excluding top face if beam not rest on wall, 2) then after multiply the surface area with Rs 20 to Rs 25 to get shuttering rate/ cost for column.

Shuttering cost calculation methods for beam

● measure the length, width and span of beam, assuming a square beam of 12″×12″ size of span 10 feet.

● calculate surface area of 5 sides of square beam such as 3(10’×1′) + 2(1’×1′) = 32 sq ft, so total shuttering area of beam is 32 sq ft.

● multiply the total shuttering area of beam with Rs 20 to Rs 25 to get shuttering rate/ cost for floor beam such as 32 × 20 = Rs 640, hence Rs 640 is shuttering rate/ cost for one square floor beam of 12″×12″ size of span 10 feet.

Shuttering rate/ cost calculation for slab

Calculate the shuttering rate for slab in two easy steps: 1) first calculate the surface area of slab by multiplying length and width, 2) then after multiply the surface area with Rs 20 to Rs 25 to get shuttering rate/ cost for slab.

● measure the length and width of slab, assuming a slab of 30 feet in length by 20 feet wide

● calculate surface area of slab by multiplying length into wide such as 30′ × 20′ = 600 sq ft, so total shuttering area of slab is 600 sq ft.

● multiply the total shuttering area of slab with Rs 20 to Rs 25 to get shuttering rate/ cost for slab such as 600 × 20 = Rs 12000, hence Rs 12000 is shuttering rate/ cost for a slab of 30′ × 20′ dimensions.
