COMPANY OVERVIEW
K.U.S GROUP 01
K.U.S MONOSET
K.U.S Monoset Aluminium Formwork has attained band 2 with a total of 14 points in constructability under Buildable Design
Appraisal System (BDAS) assessment which is conducted by Building and Construction Authority (BCA) in Singapore. This
signifies the highest banding awarded for vertical and horizontal integrated small panelled.
Buildable Design Appraisal System (BDAS) developed as a means to measure the potential impact of a building design on the
usage of labour. There are 5 bands assigned to both vertical formwork and horizontal formwork. Each band is allocated with
different points to reflect the relative efficiencies of various system formwork. This banding of system formwork is evaluated
through a productivity assessment conducted by formwork system suppliers or builders and witnessed by BCA.
Our Engineering Department is manned by a highly qualified and well-trained team of engineers who can provide any technical
advice or support you need.
Our engineers provide a complete range of services:

client’s understanding. Manufacturing drawing will then
be prepared for fabrication and layouts plans for on-site
installation.
SPEED
Due to its monolithic system, construction speed increases and it takes around 8 to 10 days to construct a single floor. With
same number of workers, contractor will expect the output to be double or triple when converts from conventional formwork
system to aluminium formwork system.
COST REDUCTION
Due to its easiness of assembly, skilled workers are not required and monolithic concreting results in crack free structure.
As such, extra repairing costs are saved and initial cost is further reduced with high repetitive usage.
K.U.S MONOSET
The most important aspect of a successful structural construction is the formwork system. K.U.S Monoset will always offer
you the most trustworthy, secure, efficient and cutting edge of formwork system techology available in the market.
