Formwork solutions from the ground up

Commercial concrete formwork for low-rise and mid-rise construction, from footings and foundations to suspended slabs and beams.

Bringing structures out of the ground

United Concrete Group provides commercial concrete formwork services for low-rise and mid-rise construction projects.

Our formwork division complements our specialized flatwork capabilities, allowing us to support broader project scopes and help bring structures out of the ground.

From foundations and retaining walls to architectural features and suspended concrete elements, our team approaches every project with careful planning, reliable coordination and consistent attention to quality.

Below and above grade foundations

United Concrete Group delivers formwork for below-grade and above-grade foundation systems across commercial and industrial construction projects.

Our experienced crews coordinate closely with general contractors, engineers and other project partners to execute foundation work according to structural drawings, site conditions and construction schedules.

Key capabilities may include:

  • Below-grade foundation walls
  • Above-grade foundation walls
  • Equipment and structural foundations
  • Low-rise and mid-rise building foundations
  • Complex foundation configurations
  • Integration with associated slab and flatwork scopes

Architectural formwork

Architectural formwork requires careful execution where the finished concrete will remain visible or contribute directly to the appearance of the completed structure.

Our team works from detailed drawings and specifications to create formed concrete elements with close attention to dimensions, alignment, surface consistency and finishing requirements.

Applications may include:

  • Exposed concrete walls
  • Feature walls
  • Columns and structural elements
  • Custom concrete details
  • Visually prominent formed surfaces
  • Architectural features requiring precise execution

Footings & foundations

Reliable structures begin with accurately formed footings and foundations.

United Concrete Group provides formwork for structural footings and foundation elements designed to transfer building loads and support the long-term performance of the structure. Our crews coordinate layout, elevations, reinforcement requirements and concrete placement to maintain accuracy throughout construction.

Capabilities may include:

  • Strip footings
  • Pad footings
  • Foundation walls
  • Grade beams
  • Structural foundation elements
  • Foundations for commercial and industrial buildings

Retaining walls

United Concrete Group constructs concrete formwork for retaining walls designed to support changes in grade, manage soil pressure and contribute to the structural requirements of the site.

Each installation is completed according to project drawings and engineering specifications, with attention to alignment, wall dimensions and integration with surrounding construction.

Retaining wall applications may include:

  • Site and property-grade transitions
  • Commercial developments
  • Below-grade structures
  • Landscape and infrastructure features
  • Structural earth-retention applications

Modular formwork systems

Modular formwork systems provide an efficient and repeatable solution for projects involving consistent wall layouts or recurring structural elements.

United Concrete Group selects and assembles formwork systems according to the specific dimensions, sequencing and concrete requirements of the project. These systems can help support efficient construction while maintaining consistent alignment and finished results.

Potential advantages include:

  • Efficient setup and reuse
  • Consistent wall dimensions
  • Repeatable construction sequences
  • Reduced on-site fabrication
  • Adaptability across varied project layouts
  • Improved productivity on suitable scopes

Custom formwork

Some projects require formed concrete elements that cannot be completed using standard configurations.

United Concrete Group provides custom formwork solutions developed around project-specific drawings, dimensions and structural requirements. Our team works through complex details and unique site conditions to create practical systems that support safe placement and accurate results.

Custom applications may include:

  • Non-standard wall configurations
  • Unique structural features
  • Angled or irregular concrete elements
  • Architectural details
  • Equipment bases and specialized foundations
  • Project-specific forming requirements

Suspended slabs & beams

United Concrete Group provides formwork for suspended concrete slabs and beams in low-rise and mid-rise commercial construction.

These scopes require careful planning, temporary support and coordination with reinforcement, mechanical systems and surrounding structural elements. Our crews work from engineered drawings to support accurate elevations, dimensions and placement sequencing.

Applications may include:

  • Suspended floor slabs
  • Structural concrete beams
  • Elevated concrete sections
  • Openings and penetrations
  • Integrated slab-and-beam systems
  • Low-rise and mid-rise building applications
