Solutions
We are passionate about concrete and specialize in the design, supply, and erection of innovative and pioneering formwork and scaffolding systems. With decades of experience in formwork manufacture and supply, we are experts in our field.
Value Delivery
We understand that choosing the correct formwork solution is critical to the overall success of our customer’s projects. The Pre-Form formwork solution is much more than just equipment. We deliver value through the entire formwork life cycle from program planning, formwork design, manufacture, delivery and erection.
Straight Hire
This is the traditional way of contractual hiring and is typically based on a rate per item per week. In this model stock control is essential and we require the client to ensure that documentation measures are taken with the acceptance and return of equipment. We also require that, if possible, the customer send a representative to check returns in our yard.
Formwork
Pre-Form understands the ever-increasing time and quality constraints faced by our clients. To meet and ideally surpass these targets, we collaborate closely with our clients, ensuring efficient and superior results. Our approach is straightforward: let's beat the program. By collaborating closely with our clients, we aim to exceed both the time schedule and quality expectations, ensuring exceptional results and efficiency.
One site service
Our on-site advisers have backgrounds in construction and project management. Training programs in formwork and concrete construction, keep them up to date and able to recommend optimal solutions to the ever changing site environment. Where required, responsibilities extend to formwork inspection and managing the formwork site budget.
Manufacturing
We have our own manufacturing facilities that specialize in both high volume formwork commodities as well as customized formwork.
Preform is capable of delivering on big projects to demanding schedules, locally and internationally.
Basket Hire - Supply only
Basket hire models are based on a metre or square metre rate. With “supply only”, material is supplied but erection is the responsibility of the main contractor. Hire is charged monthly based on concrete poured. All tender rates are agreed upfront. Pre-Form will also supply all other rates that might be relevant to the project. Further we will do detailed formwork layouts and will assist in the program planning to ensure the baseline program is met, or in most cases, beaten!
Basket - Supply and Erect
With Supply and Erect, Pre-Form takes responsibility for material and labour. This model provides a turnkey formwork solution in which the formwork program is managed on a daily bases by a Pre-Form site agent. Hire is charged on the same basis as “supply only” but the rates include the labour component. This is the type of project where we get most involved in layouts planning and problem resolution, and we can add significant value to overall project delivery.
