TAC System Formwork allows low rise buildings to be built. These tasks follow a logical sequence for Single Storey Houses:

TAC System Formwork allows high rise buildings to be built at a rate of one complete floor every 4 days (or six floors a month); everything including:

• all walls and slabs of every apartment (internal & external)
• the liftshafts
• the stairwells And stairs
• all balconies
• any parapets

How can such an extraordinary rate of production be consistently achieved?
The answer is “CYCLING”:

• Divide the typical floor into 4 work zones;
• Divide the work into 4 tasks for 4 work teams;
• Each team works in a different zone & simply carries out the same task every day;
• Size the teams so that all members are fully occupied every day;
• Every 4 days a work cycle is completed and a new floor built.

Structural work on site divides into four main tasks:

• Erect and strike vertical forms (walls & column forms)
• Erect and strike horizontal forms (slabs)
• Install deck steel and M&E ducting
• Pour the concrete

These tasks follow a logical sequence. Each task is performed by a separate team which specializes in that task.

A simplistic example:
Assume a restangle building; divide floor into four work zones.
