This developer uses Western’s Vertex brick pattern forming system. These forms were purchased in 1984 and are still in use today with

over 4,500 reuses.




Forms Created at Western are Modular & Compatible

Western Forms systems can adapt to fit several different design requirements for a

diversity of projects.

The same forms were used on all three structures.

Primary Objective

Strategy:

Introduce “industrialized methodology” early in design process to:1. Reduce time and cost of construction2. Improve construction quality3. Utilize unskilled labor with “state-of-the-art” construction processes.

Action Plan:

1. Standardize architectural-structural design2. Implement work processes to achieve daily cycle3. Provide “Complete” forming systems approach 4. Improve labor productivity by providing more efficient tools

Supply Contractors and Developers with Western Forms aluminum forming technologies to reduce the world’s housing unit deficit.




Results of Western Forms Advanced Technologies

1. Lowest labor cost per m2 of form area.2. Fastest cycle time available.3. Highest quality finish.4. Highest return on investment.5. Highest equipment residual value.6. Most complete aluminum forming systems.7. Lowest cost concrete structures.

Lowest equipment cost per use available to produce the lowest cost housing units when compared to all other construction methods.
