Concrete formwork, walls and stairs

When it comes to concrete, formwork is everything—and nowhere is that more evident than in complex architectural elements like exterior stairs and walls. At StrongForce, we specialize in precision formwork for high-end residential, commercial, and luxury properties across Toronto and the GTA.

Whether it’s a sweeping concrete staircase leading to a modern front entry or a multi-tiered retaining wall defining a luxury landscape, our team is trusted by homeowners, developers, and architects for one reason: we get it right the first time.

Why Formwork Matters—Especially for Stairs and Walls

Concrete formwork is the skeleton that shapes your final product. Poor formwork results in uneven edges, misaligned steps, and structural inconsistencies that are costly—if not impossible—to fix.

At StrongForce, our work stands out because:

• Every form is built with laser-precise measurements
• Every riser, tread, and landing is poured with clean, crisp edges
• Every curve, angle, and joint is smooth and seamless

How StrongForce Does It Differently

1. Planning & 3D Layout

We use advanced layout tools and precise elevations before the first board is placed. For high-end homes or commercial projects, we can work from architectural plans or create our own digital mock-ups.

2. Precision Form Building

Our crew hand-builds formwork using professional-grade materials and tight bracing systems to ensure:

• No bowing or blowouts
• Perfectly straight lines and angles
• Smooth release after the pour

3. Reinforcement & Integration

We place all rebar and mechanical sleeves inside the formwork with structural precision—no guesswork, no “adjust after the fact” issues.

4. Pours with Perfection

Concrete is poured strategically to avoid cold joints, air pockets, or voids. Every stair or wall is vibrated, edged, and finished to match the quality of the forms underneath.

5. Flawless Finish

Once forms are removed, we address any touch-ups and prep the surface for sealing, staining, or further architectural work—ensuring the finish is as sharp as the structure.
