Duraform Formwork

A patented system, for every market we serve.

Duraform is the formwork system Coffrage XP uses on most of its jobsites, from residential to industrial. It's a patented forming system, fast to set up and reusable, that leaves walls straight enough to stay exposed.

Forming wall fully erected on a concrete footing.

Patented

The process is patented. It's not a generic form system: it's a precise technique, with its own dedicated equipment.

Fast and reusable

The panels go up fast and get reused from one jobsite to the next. It's one of the reasons Coffrage XP holds its schedules.

Walls that can stay bare

The finish comes out clean enough to leave the concrete exposed when the project calls for it, with no rework.

For which projects

  • Residential
  • Heavy residential
  • Commercial and industrial

How soon can you do my formwork?

For a house, plan on about a month between your call and the end of the job. When the calendar allows it, it can be done in two or three weeks. It's the question we get asked the most, and it's also what sets Coffrage XP apart: when a date is given, the crew is there, and the job gets done completely.

How much does foundation formwork cost?

Coffrage XP doesn't post a price per square foot: every project is quoted from your plans. The type of project, site access, and the schedule all move the number. Send your plans and you'll get a firm price.

Do I need plans before contacting you?

No. Without plans, Coffrage XP can't produce a priced quote, but we can call you, walk you through the steps, and guide you along. Just tell us where you're at in the form.

What types of formwork do you do?

Three techniques: Duraform, a patented forming system, for every sector; structural slabs, including floor by floor; and prefabricated PERI walls. Coffrage XP covers residential, heavy residential, commercial, and industrial.

What's the difference between a structural slab and a slab on grade?

A slab on grade sits directly on the ground. A structural slab spans open space: it makes room for a basement, an underground parking level, or a floor above. It's the one you need as soon as there's open space underneath.
