EFS: Revolutionizing Aluminium Formwork by setting new benchmarks.

Ankit Gaur
Managing Director, EINS Technik Formwork System (EFS)

What is your overview on the Indian construction industry?

As a small part of this dynamic and evolving sector with substantial growth potential, I believe the industry has been experiencing robust growth driven by urbanization, infrastructure development, and increasing demand for residential and commercial spaces.

Today’s aspirational India seeks to integrate the best and latest technologies, driven by its capacity and enthusiasm for investment, leading to more durable and energy-efficient adaptations in the construction sector. More so, the real estate developers and contractors are increasingly looking at options to modernize and mechanize construction processes and the need for such changes is rooted in inefficiency and inconsistency associated with conventional method of construction. These more than often results in poor quality, increased costs and an unacceptable level of standards, impacting overall project success and stakeholder satisfaction. And over and above this, with the advent of stringent laws such as RERA, meeting project timelines has become a necessity for ensuring compliance and maintaining industry standards.

As a result, aluminium formwork has emerged as the most preferred and suitable technology to help deliver fellow contractors and developers their projects before time with exceptional quality accompanied by crucial direct and indirect cost savings.

The industry is becoming more regulated with a focus on safety and quality standards. This is leading to improved practices and adherence to international standards, which is beneficial for manufacturers who can align their products with these standards.

How are aluminium formworks playing a major role in the emerging construction market scenario?

Aluminium formwork has come a long way from being considered as extravagant expense to an absolute necessity for any construction project. Not only in the major urban centres but the demand for aluminium formwork is growing rapidly in tier 2 and tier 3 cities as well, reflecting a broader trend towards efficient and high-quality construction across diverse regions. Housing industry has rapidly changed from vendor centric to customer centric and this has inculcated need for adapting the most suitable construction method which without a doubt is aluminium formwork. Aluminium formwork has allowed developers to generate more carpet area within the same floor plate, thus creating a win-win situation for both real estate developers and the end customers.

Aluminium formwork has also helped eliminate most notorious element of residential construction, that is plaster, which is widely troubling for its crack age and breaking properties. 

Today, aluminium formwork has added value for both the developers or contractors and the customers, thus bringing happy homes from the developers.
