Subash Arunachalam of FormBid emphasises that adopting proper technologies and building processes will remove risk factors from dangerous operating practices when discussing the trends and relevance of digitalising formwork operations and addressing safety.

Sustainability and reliability to projects through formworks

The aim with which Formbid was found was to move the construction industry and all the stakeholders forward. Our beliefs align with the triple bottom-line concepts of sustainability: we increase the profits of the organisations we work with; we improve the lives of the people in these organisations and provide the tools to help them in their more stressful jobs. We want to positively impact the natural resources we have little of by promoting the switch to reusable system forms and effectively utilising the existing inventory.

Sustainable formworks designs

Sustainable products provide a faster and more efficient method to construct and deliver projects due to their quicker availability, nativity to the end user, and better project management. The key to sustainable formwork is reducing our reliance on short-lived products and reusing existing formwork over more extended periods. To achieve this, each buyer must be aware of the full potential of the system Formwork to make informed decisions on how to effectively plan a procurement while keeping their long-term goals in mind, which is where a platform like Formbid comes in to maximise the product’s potential.

Digital procurement platforms for projects and formwork

Every organisation spends 5 percent of its procurement order value on procurement-related tasks. Any methods to cut down on these expenses will increase product and vendor dependencies and may result in inefficient project delivery. Digitising the construction operations, critically the design, identification of construction method and procurement is mandatory for any organisation to maintain benchmark quality project to project. Formwork is the most critical part of any construction as it is engineered for the construction methodology of the building and must be carefully handled. There is a need for the Formwork user to consult, identify, and procure effectively, and we are working on solving that problem.

Project safety 

The government takes many measures to increase construction worker safety at the site and awareness. This has brought down the number of accidents happening at construction projects drastically. However, we must always strive towards an environment with zero site accidents. Like any aspect of construction, safety also has to be planned from the moment of project ideation and design. When we adopt the right technologies and methods to build and deliver the project, we eliminate the risks caused by unsafe working practices and technologies. By supporting people to make the right choice towards the Formwork system, we are ensuring the construction worker’s safety about the Formwork construction.
