How to get the best forming quote possible?

The concrete industry in Canada is going through a period of unprecedented scarcity, which is why the local construction industry needs to optimize its costs and ensure that they are really the best in the market.

When making a quote there are several points that must be taken into account. There are the more obvious points: Does it include form coat and materials?, concrete and pump?, placement?, finish? These are what any concrete forming company should consider, but there are other points that not everyone takes into account.

At ANDAMA we are a transparent formwork company, which guarantees that our quote is the best, we are committed to our product.

Here is a list of "not so obvious" questions that can affect the final costs and the quality of your concrete forming project:

1 Will cranes be used?

This is a factor that directly impacts operating costs, since it involves the rental of specialized equipment, operators and permits to operate.

2 Will modular systems be necessary?

Modular formwork is an easy and intuitive system of ABS formwork for the construction of walls, basements, columns, slabs, etc. of concrete. But it is necessary to know in detail the needs of the project to determine its use.

3 Qualified labor or not?

Qualified labor also has a direct impact on the price, you cannot risk a project using poorly trained personnel.

4 Any cordless tools?

Pneumatic, electric, and hydraulic powered tools and accessories are necessary for a certain amount of projects, don’t forget to ask.

5 Inflation in material and labor costs?

Another determining factor is inflation, it is necessary that all quotes consider times to calculate the validity of the same at the time of executing the project.

Well, these are just some of the not so obvious questions that can directly impact the costs and quality of the projects, if you have more specific questions, do not hesitate to contact us, we are waiting for your call: https://andamaconstruction.ca/contact-us/
