Based in the Bellarine Peninsula, servicing Geelong, the Surf Coast, and surrounds

At True Grade Contracting, we understand the importance of achieving both functionality and aesthetics. Our concrete formwork includes careful planning, design, and execution to create structures of the desired shape. We pay close attention to detail, ensuring that the formwork is aligned and securely in place before pouring the concrete.

Our team utilises timber formwork for its flexibility for intricate designs. We also use steel formwork systems for projects with tight timelines and large structures that require additional pressure ratings.

Our experience in providing various types of formwork allows us to create off form and in situ structures of all shapes and sizes. We specialise in these services, encompassing all aspects to deliver exceptional results.

Off-form concrete formwork

The term “off form” pertains to the finished appearance of the concrete surface after the formwork has been removed. It refers to the desired aesthetic achieved through carefully crafted formwork, resulting in a visually appealing exposed concrete surface.

Off-form finishes can range from smooth and polished to textured or patterned, depending on the design intent. This approach is often used in architectural and decorative concrete projects, where the concrete surface is a significant part of the overall design aesthetic.

In situ concrete services

In-situ, or “cast-in-place,” refers to the method of constructing concrete elements directly on-site rather than precasting them in a factory and transporting them to the location. In-situ construction involves building the formwork on-site, pouring the concrete into the molds, allowing it to cure, and subsequently removing the formwork.

This approach offers flexibility and adaptability, making it suitable for projects with unique site requirements or those that demand a high degree of customisation. In-situ construction is commonly employed in walls, slabs, stairs, furniture, and other structural elements.
