What should be in a formwork subcontract scope of works?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
A formwork subcontract scope of works should include the type of formwork, installation method, materials specifications, quality standards, and safety requirements. It should also outline timeframes, inspection processes, and responsibilities for removal and disposal of formwork.
Key points
- Type of formwork specified
- Materials and quality standards included
- Safety requirements outlined
- Clear timeframes for delivery and removal
Make sure the scope is detailed enough for the subbie to understand what's expected. Include any site-specific conditions or access issues that might affect the work. This helps avoid confusion later on and keeps everything on track.
