April 2025 Edition
As Featured in Build Australia Magazine
Leading the Way in Smarter Formwork
We’re proud to be featured in the April 2025 edition of Build Australia Magazine for our role in driving innovation across the construction industry.
The article showcases how MasterForm is helping solve “2025 problems” – like labour shortages, tight timelines, and the demand for safer, more efficient worksites – with cast-in and reusable formwork systems built for real-world results.
From Rapid Rebates to our Safety Penos and Ezy EdgeForm, the feature highlights how our solutions are cutting install time, reducing risk, and making life easier on site.

A quick shoutout to the team at The Raleigh in Windsor, the end result looks spot on. 👌
Ezy EdgeForm made it possible to deliver those clean, curved slab edges with precision and efficiency. It’s quick to set up, easy to work with, and delivers a finish that speaks for itself.

It all starts in setup.
The Aptus system relies on these reusable metal shutters, used as stop ends for the tops and bottoms of each precast element. They’re not just holding shape; they’re locating the Aptus bars with millimetre accuracy so every coupler lines up once the elements are stacked on site.
It’s a simple, tough bit of kit that makes the whole system work from start to finish.

We don’t talk about our Shutter Templates nearly enough… but they’re a big part of how projects like this come together.
Here’s a look at the before and after 👉 Custom profiled steel plates give you the accuracy to form curved upstands, walls, or deeper slab steps. From there, it’s simply a matter of building up your shutter on-site with timber and ply.

Loving the way The Raleigh in Windsor has come together, those curves are something else. Hats off to the team on-site 👷♂️👏 but honestly, we couldn’t achieve this level of precision and smoothness without Ezy EdgeForm.

Ezy EdgeForm is hard at work on the Meriton ICONICA Tower in Surfers Paradise, delivering precision, speed, and perfectly curved slab edges on one of Queensland’s most iconic projects.
This custom formwork system has become part of the build, proving its strength and versatility as the tower takes shape on the Gold Coast skyline. 🚧

Some curves just can’t be done with timber.
This is Ezy EdgeForm, our in-house steel edge board system that locks in smooth, repeatable curves with speed and accuracy.
It’s all held in place with a keyed joint system, and for tighter radii, we use internal shutter templates like the 450mm one on this deck, locking in the curve for a clean result.
Want to save days on-site and finish with a cleaner edge? This is how it’s done.

On site. On the phone. On the case.
Sometimes the gear isn’t the only thing holding the job together.
Shoutout to everyone behind the scenes making it happen, early starts, late calls, and a bit of chaos in between.

We talk a lot about getting the pour right, but that only happens when your formwork is sorted from the start.
MasterForm hobs have been refined over years of trial, testing and tough site conditions, and it shows.
They’re consistent. They’re fast. And they do exactly what they’re meant to.
If you`re still patching, reworking or resetting, maybe it’s time to see how we do things.
Get in touch. We’ll show you what good looks like.

Still messing with patchy hobs and rework after the pour?
That’s time you don’t get back.
MasterForm cast-in hobs are fixed in position before the pour, so what you set is what you get.
✅ No shifting
✅ No stripping
✅ No realignment
Just a clean, monolithic pour - first go.

Let’s make rework a thing of the past.
#MasterForm #CastInHobs #ConcreteFirstTime #FormworkThatWorks #SiteReady
Are you still propping hobs with blocks and hope?
Still cutting timber and patching it later?
There’s a better way.
Cast-in hobs stay put during the pour, no shifting, no stripping, no surprises.
If you’re not already using them… maybe it’s time to ask why.

Faster doesn’t mean cutting corners.
MasterForm hobs install quicker than traditional setups - and they deliver a cleaner finish too.
The system’s designed to pour once and walk away. No stripping. No patching. No second pass.
“We eliminate cold joints, which in turn eliminates cracking and water issues.”
Less rework. Better finishes. No drama.

Fast, solid, and locked in.
Our patented Klip-Lok cast-in support leg holds the hob in position during the pour - no shifting, no mess.
It’s faster to install and saves hours in setup and labour.
“This system installs in a fraction of the time compared to traditional hobs - and it stays where you put it.”
More speed. Less rework. Better outcomes.

It’s not just what you pour - it’s how you prep.
The real difference with MasterForm hobs? The way they’re fixed into position.
Every frame locks down tight with cast-in legs and smart detailing, so what you pour is what you keep.
No drift. No shifting. No realignment.
It means faster prep, smoother pours, and hobs that are locked in and ready to go the first time.

Safety Penos - Simple but serious
Live edges and exposed penetrations slow things down - and put people at risk. MasterForm Safety Penos are designed to protect crews while keeping work moving.
They’re fast to install, pre-capped, and stay rated until you`re ready to cut in. No makeshift covers. No rework. Just clean, safe, set-and-forget protection.

End of an Era - Start of a Smarter One
This old press from the 80s helped kick off the MasterForm revolution - and it’s been with us every step of the way.
Now it’s time to level up. We’ve just welcomed in a new press, roller, and laser, all tied together with a smarter, more automated system - including elements of AI integration.
More precision. Less waste. Faster turnaround.
Here’s to the future of fabrication - and to the crew who’ve built every step with us.
