“Formsteel has the potential to change the commercial construction game. It’s a building system that’s lower cost, simpler to construct, faster to build, and lighter.
All those things add up and it’s just a better, completely new approach. Of course, we can’t forget that Formsteel is the greenest option out there and that’s something to be seriously considered.”

“Formsteel as a building solution has undeniably changed the game for large-scale commercial construction projects. Starting with the Formsteel system from the inception of a project ensures cost effective, simple build solutions with a shorter build timeframe. It just makes sense.
Having worked with Formsteel on a number of projects to date, the team are very responsive and good to work with—they go the extra mile to make sure the project runs smoothly for all stakeholders.”

“The real benefit of Formsteel is that it allows us as developers to deliver quality buildings that are faster and more cost effective to build. 47% less embodied carbon; this is becoming a bigger and bigger deal. Formsteel source from reputable mills, they are a lot quicker to buildwith than traditional steel, and cheaper. That’s why we are interested in it.
When you are constructing a building, the biggest carbon contributors are the steel structure and the concrete slabs. So if we can significantly reduce either of those, it’s a big thing. The whole industry has more of a focus on carbon calculations and obtaining green star points than ever before, and that’s where Formsteel has a big role to play ”
