Its importance is evident when you consider that the cost of fabrication, erecting and striking the formwork, often exceeds the cost of the concrete it is designed to shape and support. For anything other than most smallest of concreting jobs e.g. walls over 1m in height, a drawing should be provided, showing what formwork is required.
