Construction Site Surprise: Overhangs Add to Formwork Costs

Construction in Brest: Formwork Calculations for Monolithic Overlaps Brest, Belarus – A recent video by local construction worker sergey_maltoss highlights the often-overlooked complexities of calculating formwork for monolithic ceilings. The video, filmed on-site, shows the practical challenges of accounting for external overhangs. "The area requiring formwork is significantly larger than the building's interior due to these overhangs," explains sergey_maltoss in the video. He demonstrates how this impacts material needs and overall project costs. The video emphasizes the importance of accurate calculations to avoid material waste and project delays. While the video focuses on a specific construction project in Brest, the principles discussed are applicable to similar projects across Belarus and beyond, making it relevant to a wider audience of construction professionals and enthusiasts.
