The hidden structure

What goes in before the concrete matters most.

Formwork shapes the concrete. Reinforcement gives it strength. Get either wrong and you end up with a structure that doesn't meet specification, and concrete can't be easily undone. This is where the skill and experience matter most.

METCON's formworkers and steel fixers work directly from engineer's drawings and bar schedules. Every form is built to dimension, every bar is placed to specification, and every element is inspected before the pour.

Whether it's simple slab edge forms or complex suspended formwork systems for multi-level construction, we bring the same precision, documentation, and quality control to every job.

Six reasons to choose specialist formworkers

If any of these sound familiar, it is worth a free site visit. We will tell you straight what your site needs.

Structural concrete to engineer's specification

Anything with an engineer's drawing needs formwork and steel fixing done to exact tolerances.

Suspended slabs and elevated structures

Propping, shoring, and suspended formwork systems that need structural knowledge to build safely.

Complex shapes and geometry

Curved walls, tapered columns, raking slabs, these need experienced formworkers, not general labourers.

Multi-level construction

Storey-by-storey concrete construction needs properly designed formwork staging and sequencing.

Council or certifier inspections required

Hold-point inspections before pour require formwork and steel to be documented and verifiable.

Tight tolerances and quality finishes

Off-form concrete, exposed surfaces, and architectural elements require precision forming and fixing.

What we build

Formwork & steel for every element.

From simple footings to complex suspended structures, we handle the full range of formwork and reinforcement installation.

01

Slab Formwork

Edge forms for ground slabs, and full propped formwork systems for suspended slabs. Built level, square, and to exact dimensions per the engineer's drawings.

02

Wall & Column Forms

Vertical formwork for retaining walls, shear walls, columns, and blade walls. Proper bracing, alignment, and tie systems for clean, accurate pours.

03

Beam Formwork

Ground beams, suspended beams, and transfer beams. Formed with correct camber allowances, reinforcement clearances, and engineered propping.

04

Stair Formwork

Concrete staircase forms including risers, strings, and landings. Dimensionally accurate with proper steel placement for the most complex concrete element.

05

Steel Fixing & Reo

Installation of reinforcement from engineer's bar schedules, slabs, walls, footings, beams, and columns. Correct cover, laps, tie wire, and chair spacing.

06

Propping & Shoring

Temporary structural support during construction. Engineered propping layouts, back-propping for multi-level, and safe load transfer systems.

Our process

Built to the engineer's line.

Every formwork and steel fixing project follows our structured five-step process, because precision before the pour determines the quality of the finished structure.

Drawing Review

We review the structural engineer's drawings, bar schedules, and specifications. Identify formwork requirements, staging, propping loads, and material needs.

Formwork Design

For complex elements, we design the formwork system, propping layouts, tie spacings, pour sequences, and stripping times, all to structural requirements.

Form & Fix

Formwork is built to dimension and level. Reinforcement is cut, bent, and placed to the bar schedule. Cover, laps, and spacers checked throughout.

Pre-Pour Inspection

Engineer and/or certifier inspects formwork and steel before concrete is placed. Any non-conformances are corrected and re-inspected. Documented hold point.

Pour Support & Strip

We support the pour, manage vibration and placement, and strip formwork at the specified time. Final inspection and documentation on completion.

Precision forming, documented at every step.

Formwork layouts, steel inspection records, pre-pour photos, and engineer sign-off. Everything needed for certification and compliance.

What our clients say

Rated 5.0 by Sydney clients.

5.0

Real reviews from homeowners, strata and builders.

They handled the DA, the engineer, and the build. We didn't have to chase council once. Massive wall, done in under two weeks.
MSMichael Stavros Vaucluse
Council approval sorted, engineering sorted, wall done in a week. Could not fault the process.
DRDavid Reeves Manly
We needed a large gabion wall for a steep commercial block. Engineered, certified, and done on time. Professional from start to finish.

Formwork & Steel Fixing FAQ

Common questions.

Straight answers from the builder. Anything else, just ask.

Do you handle council approvals and engineering?

Yes. We manage the entire process, including:

  • Coordinating with structural engineers
  • Preparing documentation
  • Lodging Development Applications or Complying Development Certificates
  • Liaising with council on your behalf

You do not need to deal with council directly. We handle it all.

What is included in your quotes?

Every METCON quote is fully itemised and includes:

  • Scope of work
  • Materials and specifications
  • Labour costs
  • Excavation and site preparation
  • Drainage (where applicable)
  • Engineering fees
  • Council application fees
  • Project timeline and payment schedule

There are no hidden costs. What we quote is what you pay, unless you request changes to the scope.

What payment terms do you offer?

We use a progress payment structure, which means you pay in stages as the work is completed. This is standard practice in the NSW building industry and protects both parties.

The exact payment schedule depends on the project size and is set out clearly in your quote. We never ask for full payment upfront.

What happens if something goes wrong during the build?

Construction can sometimes uncover unexpected issues, especially on older properties or difficult sites.

If we find something outside the original scope, such as hidden asbestos, unstable soil or structural defects, we tell you immediately, explain the options and give you a clear cost for any additional work before proceeding.

You are never hit with surprise bills.
