Professional Commercial Formwork Services by Refined Companies
Precision Engineered Foundations for Commercial Excellence
At Refined Companies, we provide high-performance formwork solutions for commercial, industrial, and multi-family developments. We understand that in commercial construction, the foundation is more than just a base. it is a critical structural element that must meet exacting engineering tolerances and strict timelines.
What Is Commercial Formwork?
Commercial Formwork (often called Cribbing in the residential world) is the temporary or permanent mold used to hold wet concrete in place until it sets into a specific shape and gains its own strength.
Commercial Formwork is commonly used for:
• Building “Cores” (Elevator Shafts & Stairwells)
• Columns, Pillars & Piers
• Civil & Infrastructure Projects
• Grade Beams & Piled Foundations
• Structural Foundation Walls & Parkades
Structural Foundation Walls
– Heavy-duty reinforced slabs and walls designed for industrial traffic.
– Precise vertical forming to meet strict fire code and mechanical tolerances.
– Specialized pours for secure storage or environmental containment.
Grade Beams &
Piled Foundations
– Accurate layout and forming to bridge between piles or caissons.
– Heavy-duty forming for concentrated load-bearing points in industrial structures.
Specialized Commercial Concrete Structures
– Heavy-duty reinforced slabs and walls designed for industrial traffic.
– Precise vertical forming to meet strict fire code and mechanical tolerances.
– Specialized pours for secure storage or environmental containment.

Most frequent questions and answers
We utilize total station laser layouts to ensure every wall is plumb, level, and square to within G703 engineering tolerances. We understand that our precision dictates the success of the steel and mechanical crews coming in behind us.
We perform a post-pour verification to ensure the foundation matches the engineered drawings. This allows your steel fabricators to proceed with 100% confidence in the anchor bolt placements.
Our “freeze-thaw” cycles cause soil to expand and contract frequently. Without a flexible or dimpled membrane, this pressure can lead to foundation cracks and basement leaks.
