Aluminum Vs Steel Vs Timber Formwork — A Full Lifecycle Cost Comparison
An analysis of the lifecycle of aluminum vs steel vs timber formwork concludes that aluminum’s lightweight construction, the highest reuse value, the least damage, and the quickest assembly all contribute to its being the most cost-effective system in the case of large-scale developments. Steel keeps its place in the market when the project's requirements demand strength but incurs costs for labor and machinery that are very high. Timber prices are low at first, but its cost per pour is the highest because of its short service life. When factors such as installation speed, labor efficiency, maintenance, and scrap value are taken into account, aluminum gives the best total cost of ownership for overseas contractors.
