Is Aluminum Formwork More Expensive? A Deep Dive into Total Cost Analysis
Author:
Many contractors are deterred by the high upfront price of aluminum formwork. However, from a long-term economic perspective, it offers superior value:
Amortization Cost: While timber formwork is scrapped after 5–8 uses, aluminum formwork can be reused over 300 times. For a 30-story residential building, the cost per square meter is significantly lower.
Labor & Schedule: Utilizing an early stripping system, aluminum formwork allows for a 4–5 day floor cycle, reducing the construction period by approximately $20\%$ compared to traditional methods.
Residual Value: After reaching its service life, the scrap aluminum recovery rate exceeds $80\%$, providing an "invisible asset" that timber formwork simply cannot offer.
