About Us

Formcraft was born from a west Australian construction company that specialised mainly in more traditional construction methods like limestone block work and feature masonry. The company successfully focused on residential and commercial projects using the tried and tested methods that have been used for centuries. These methods are often seen as antiquated and very labour intensive.

In Australia, as in many other parts of the world there is a growing emphasis on environmental sustainability, immediacy and minimizing energy consumption. These are all values that we wanted to embed in an innovative construction system using energy efficient materials and having broad market appeal. Formcraft was established to further explore these principals.

Insulated concrete formwork (ICF) has been used in Europe and North America for many years and has proved to be an extremely solid, cost-effective and fast-track method of construction. A variety of structures from retaining walls and residential houses to commercial buildings and multi-unit developments are increasingly being built using these methods. The formcraft wall system uses high density expanded polystyrene (eps) panels as a form to accept steel reinforced concrete. Once the concrete hardens, you have a wall system that outperforms traditional construction methods. In short the formcraft building system combines the insulating effectiveness of the polymer panels with the structural integrity of concrete. Formcraft, "Leading Sustainable Construction".

Formcraft has invested in cutting edge manufacturing and design technology to make Formcraft ICF the leading product of its type in Australia. Products are manufactured in our Kewdale facility in Western Australia. A variety of structures from retaining walls and residential houses to mining camps and multi-unit developments are increasingly being built using these methods. The Formcraft wall system uses high density Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) panels as a form to accept steel reinforced concrete. Once the concrete hardens, you have a wall system that outperforms traditional construction methods. Formcraft also offers a number of complementary construction systems including:- FormDeck – insulated suspended slab systems and FormTilt – insulated tilt panels for commercial construction.
