Steel Concrete Formwork Price List (1404 Update) + Detailed Weight Table
In the modern construction industry, cost management is one of the most challenging responsibilities for project managers and contractors. Since steel concrete formwork is considered one of the core and fundamental tools in the execution of concrete structures, fluctuations in its price can directly impact the final project budget. With the arrival of the year 1404 (2025–2026) and continuous changes in the steel market, having access to a transparent reference for steel formwork prices and knowing the exact weight of each formwork panel is vital to preventing financial losses.
In this comprehensive article by Beton Sazeh Zaman Company, we not only review the updated price lists, but also provide standard weight tables, key pricing factors, and a practical guide for distinguishing high‑quality formwork from low‑quality products. If you intend to make a smart and informed purchase, this article is your roadmap.
Why Does the Price of Steel Concrete Formwork Fluctuate? (Market Analysis for 1404)
Before diving into figures and numbers, it is important to understand which factors determine the final amount on your invoice. Unlike many products, the price of steel concrete formwork is not fixed and depends on the following variables:
1. Daily Steel Plate Price (Mobarakeh or Non‑Branded?)
The most important factor is the price of black steel sheet (ST37) on the commodity exchange. The highest‑quality formworks in the Iranian market are produced using Mobarakeh steel sheets, which offer excellent surface smoothness and high tensile strength.
Zaman Expert Tip: Some manufacturers reduce prices by using steel sheets from “Gilan” or “Ahvaz,” which may not offer the same quality as Mobarakeh steel. When requesting a quotation, always ask about the steel brand used.
2. Sheet Thickness (3 mm or More?)
Standard formwork panels are typically manufactured with 3 mm face sheets and 5 mm flat bars. Additionally, the type of connecting components such as pins and wedges, used to lock the panels together, directly affects the overall structural quality. If weak connectors are used, the formwork may open during concreting and result in significant damage.
3. Edge Type (5 cm Edge or 6 cm Edge)
- 5 cm Edge Formwork: These panels have a 5‑centimeter edge height and are the most standard and widely used type in the market.
- 6 cm Edge Formwork: With a 6‑centimeter edge height, these panels provide higher strength but also increased weight.
Naturally, due to higher steel consumption, 6 cm edge formwork is more expensive.
4. Welding and Manufacturing Quality
Using CO₂ welding instead of conventional electric welding increases production costs but extends the service life of the formwork several times over. All formworks produced by Beton Sazeh Zaman are manufactured using robotic or manual CO₂ welding under strict quality control (QC) supervision.
Steel Concrete Formwork Weight Table (Standard Reference 1404)
In the formwork equipment market, pricing is calculated based on weight (kilograms). This means you multiply the unit price per kilogram by the total weight. Therefore, having an accurate weight table helps you verify the accuracy of the issued invoice.
(Note: The weights below are approximate and calculated based on Zaman’s production standards using 3 mm face sheets and 5 mm flat bars. A weight tolerance of ±5% is normal in steel production.)
Table 1: Modular Formwork Weights (5 cm Edge)
| Application | Approx. Weight (kg) | Panel Dimensions (cm) |
| Slim columns / corners | 5.5 | 100 × 10 |
| Column casting | 6.8 | 100 × 15 |
| Columns and walls | 7.8 | 100 × 20 |
| Standard walls and columns | 10.5 | 100 × 30 |
| Shear walls | 13.5 | 100 × 40 |
| Most commonly used size | 15.5 – 16 | 100 × 50 |
| High‑rise projects | 23.5 | 150 × 50 |
| Monolithic wall concreting | 31.0 | 200 × 50 |
Table 2: Inside and Outside Corner Weights
| Corner Type | Dimensions (cm) | Approx. Weight (kg) |
|---|---|---|
| Outside corner | 10 × 10 × 100 | 10.5 |
| Outside corner | 10 × 10 × 150 | 15.5 |
| Inside corner | 10 × 10 × 100 | 8.5 |
| Inside corner | 10 × 10 × 150 | 12.5 |
Steel Concrete Formwork Price List (Daily Updated)
Important Notice: Due to moment‑to‑moment fluctuations in the steel market, listing fixed prices in the table below may be misleading. However, at Zaman, we have provided an approximate price range to help you estimate costs.
(For exact and real‑time prices, please contact Zaman sales experts.)
| Product Name | Unit | Price Status | Estimated Price (Toman/kg) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 cm Edge Steel Formwork (Mobarakeh Steel) | Kilogram | Available | Call for price |
| 6 cm Edge Steel Formwork (Custom) | Kilogram | Manufactured upon order | Call for price |
| Circular Column Formwork | Kilogram | Available | Call for price (10% higher than flat) |
| Formwork corners and angles | Kilogram | Available | Same price as modular formwork |
| Second‑hand formwork (like new) | Kilogram | Limited | Approx. 30% cheaper than new |
Total Invoice Price Calculation Formula
To calculate your exact required budget, use the following formula:
(Number of panels × Weight per panel) × Daily steel price + Fabrication cost = Final price
At Zaman, by eliminating intermediaries and purchasing steel sheets directly from manufacturers, we aim to offer the lowest fabrication cost while maintaining quality.
Should You Buy New or Used Concrete Formwork? (Economic Review)
One of the most frequently asked questions by our customers in 1404 is whether purchasing second‑hand formwork is economically viable. Let’s examine this honestly:
Advantages of Used Formwork
- Lower price: Usually 30–40% cheaper than new formwork.
- Suitable for short‑term projects: If needed for a small or one‑time project, it may be reasonable.
Disadvantages and Hidden Risks
- Deformation and warping: Used formwork is often distorted, resulting in uneven concrete surfaces and the need for costly finishing and plastering work.
- Reduced safety: Old welds may be weakened and crack under pressure during concreting. This is particularly dangerous in high‑rise structures requiring heavy scaffolding systems and shoring.
- Maintenance requirements: Often require adjustment and cleaning, which is time‑consuming and costly.
Zaman experts’ recommendation: If you are a contractor planning long‑term use, always buy new formwork. This is an investment, not an expense. After five years of use, new formwork can be resold at a good price, while used formwork often becomes scrap after further use.
5 Golden Tips to Identify High‑Quality Steel Concrete Formwork
When receiving your formwork, how can you ensure you were not deceived?
- Check the flat bars: The surrounding flat bars must be perfectly square. If the panel is not a true rectangle, gaps will form and concrete slurry will leak.
- Punching quality: Pin and wedge holes must be precise and burr‑free. Non‑standard punching makes installation difficult and exhausting for workers.
- Surface flatness: The face sheet must be free of waves. Place a metal straightedge on the surface to verify flatness.
- Painting: While paint alone is not a quality indicator, oven‑baked or dip‑coated panels are more resistant to corrosion.
- Random weight checks: Randomly weigh several panels and compare them with the seller’s weight table within an acceptable tolerance.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Is shipment to other cities possible?
Yes, Beton Sazeh Zaman provides daily loading and deliveries across Iran with minimal transportation costs.
2. What is the service life of steel concrete formwork?
With proper maintenance (oiling before concreting, avoiding drops from height, and proper storage), Zaman’s new formwork can be used for over 50 concreting cycles without issues.
3. What is the difference between welded flat bars and pressed flat bars?
In welded flat‑bar formwork (welded edge), flat bars are welded separately to the sheet, providing very high strength. In pressed (bent) models, the sheet is bent as a single piece. For heavy projects, the welded flat‑bar model—which is our specialty—is recommended.
4. Is installment or post‑dated check payment available?
Payment terms vary based on order volume and customer credit. For special credit sales conditions for licensed contractors, please contact Zaman’s accounting department.
