Which formwork does your foundation need?
One set of panels covers several foundation types — what matters is choosing the right heights and fittings
Foundation formwork is a set of panels placed on both sides of the future concrete wall and tied together. The panels hold the shape while the concrete gains strength; once stripped, they move on to the next section. So you are not buying "formwork for a house" but a set of panels of the right height and length plus fittings — and the foundation type decides which parts you need more of.
Strip foundation
The most common choice for a private house: a concrete strip under every load-bearing wall. Panels go on both sides of the strip, so the panel area is roughly twice the area of one face.
- Strip depth usually 0.5–2 m — panels of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 m
- Strip width of 200–400 mm is set by the tie length
- Every turn of the strip needs an outside and an inside corner
Slab foundation
A monolithic slab under the whole house — the answer for weak or frost-heaving soils. Here panels are needed only around the perimeter to form the slab edge.
- Slab thickness 20–40 cm — the lowest 0.5 m panels are enough
- Far less formwork than a strip foundation for the same house
- Panels are braced from outside, no ties through the slab
Basement and plinth walls
With a basement or a lower ground floor, the foundation becomes storey-high monolithic walls. This calls for tall panels set on both sides and tied together.
- 2.0 and 3.0 m panels — a full-height wall without stacking
- Wall thickness 200–400 mm
- Panels are rated for concrete pressure up to 80 kN/m²
Pier foundation with a ground beam
Saunas, light timber-frame houses and outbuildings often stand on piers tied together by a ground beam. The beam is cast in the same panels as a strip, the piers in column formwork.
- Ground beam — low panels of 0.5–1.0 m
- Piers — round or rectangular column formwork

How to work out how much formwork you need
A five-minute estimate — our specialists will do the exact calculation for free
- 1
Measure the strip length
Add the outer perimeter of the house to the length of every internal load-bearing wall that sits on the strip. That is the foundation length in running metres.
- 2
Choose the height
Formwork height is the strip depth in the ground plus the plinth height above it. Pick the nearest standard panel or a combination such as 1.0 + 0.5 m.
- 3
Multiply by two faces
A strip is formed on both sides, so panel area ≈ strip length × height × 2. For a slab, count only perimeter × slab thickness, on one side.
- 4
Add corners and fittings
Each turn of the strip needs an outside and an inside corner, each panel joint needs connectors, and ties go along the panel height. We will draw up the fittings list from your plan.
- 5
Decide how much to pour at once
You do not have to buy formwork for the whole foundation: split the strip into sections and move the panels along. The kit gets smaller; the job takes longer.
- 6
Compare with renting
If you only have one foundation, work out the rental too: from ₴350/m² per month with a 15-day minimum. Buying pays off when you need the formwork for several projects.
Example: a 10 × 10 m house
A perimeter strip plus one internal wall: 40 + 10 = 50 m. Strip height 1.5 m (1.0 m below ground and a 0.5 m plinth). Panel area: 50 × 1.5 × 2 = 150 m² to pour the whole strip at once, or half that if you pour in two stages. We quote the kit price after the calculation: it depends on the condition and height of the panels and the number of corners and fittings.

Buying foundation formwork: FAQ
Price, sizes, delivery and returns in brief
How much does new foundation formwork cost?
We price foundation formwork for your volume: it depends on condition (new or used), panel height, panel area and the number of corners and fittings. A 10 × 10 m house with a 1.5 m strip needs about 150 m² of panels to pour the whole foundation at once; pouring in sections needs a smaller kit.
Which panel height should I choose?
Standard heights are 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0 m. A shallow strip needs 0.5–1.0 m, a strip with a plinth 1.5–2.0 m, basement walls 3.0 m. Panels of different heights can be combined.
Can one set of formwork do both a strip and a slab?
Yes. A slab needs only low panels around the perimeter, while a strip needs panels on both sides with ties. If you plan both, buy the strip kit — it will also cover the slab edges.
Should I buy new or used?
New formwork gives you its full service life. It pays off if you build several projects in a row or need a perfectly smooth concrete face. For a single foundation that will be buried, used formwork costs less.
Can I return the formwork?
Yes, unused formwork can be returned within 14 days of purchase. And once your build is finished, we can buy the formwork back from you.
How much is delivery?
Delivery in Kyiv costs from ₴700 depending on volume. Elsewhere in Ukraine it is quoted per order and takes 2–3 days. Pickup from our warehouse is free.
Do you provide assembly instructions?
Yes, every kit comes with assembly and operating instructions, and our specialists advise on installation and can train your crew.
Can I buy only part of a kit?
Yes, we sell complete kits as well as individual panels, corners and fittings.
