Formwork Audit App turns formwork audits into a scored, repeatable programme. Auditors score each formwork against weighted criteria, attach photo evidence, and track corrective actions to verified closure across every site. Managers compare formwork audit scores across sites and track every corrective action to closure.
Formwork Audit App runs a scored formwork audit covering props, spacing, and bracing, bearers, joists, and decking, verticality, line, and level, release agent and cleanliness, and edge protection and access, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, formwork findings live on paper and in chat. A formwork fault such as undersized or missing props slips through. An audit then means rebuilding formwork evidence from folders.
Formwork Audit App keeps one record per formwork and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each formwork finding is tracked to verified closure. Site engineers and temporary-works coordinators see formwork completion and overdue actions across the construction portfolio. Every formwork record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Formwork Audit App?
A comprehensive formwork audit covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Audit formwork programmes with structured findings, weighted scoring, and verified closure across project sites. Your audit should include sections for props, spacing, and bracing; bearers, joists, and decking; and verticality, line, and level, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every audit finding is traceable.
How to Use Formwork Audit App
A scored audit only helps if every auditor scores the same way. Follow these steps to run a formwork audit:
Open the formwork audit template, which carries weighted criteria and a scoring scheme.
Score each formwork against the criteria and attach photo evidence for any non-conformance.
Let the app calculate the section and overall formwork score so the site is comparable to others.
Raise a corrective action for each failed formwork criterion with an owner and due date.
Sign off the formwork audit. The scorecard and branded report generate automatically.
What Does a Formwork Audit Cover?
A formwork audit scores condition against BS 5975 and OSHA 1926 subpart Q, checking props, spacing, and bracing, bearers, joists, and decking, verticality, line, and level, release agent and cleanliness, and edge protection and access. Each formwork finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the failing point. So the formwork audit becomes a traceable evidence pack, not an ageing spreadsheet.

How Formwork Audit App Scores a Formwork Audit
Step 1
Score Consistently
Weighted criteria are built into the formwork audit template.

What Formwork Teams Fix When Audits Are Scored the Same Way Everywhere
Formwork work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Formwork Audit App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
Every auditor scores the formwork audit differently, so sites cannot be compared
One auditor is strict, another is lenient, and a third skips sections. The formwork audit scores come back, but leadership cannot tell whether a low score means a weak site or a tough auditor.
Problem
Formwork scoring depends on which auditor showed up
Formwork sections get skipped with no record
Formwork scores are not comparable across sites
Solution
Weighted formwork criteria baked into the audit template
Mandatory formwork sections, so nothing is skipped
Comparable formwork scores that roll up across the estate
Formwork issues get logged, then quietly forgotten
A failed item is noted during a routine audit. Nobody owns it, no date is set, and the next audit finds the same problem on the same formwork. The formwork issue is logged, not closed.
Problem
Failed formwork items noted but never assigned to anyone
No due date on a formwork fix, so nothing is ever overdue
The formwork fix is marked done with no proof it happened
Solution
Every failed formwork item becomes an owned corrective action
Closure needs a formwork verification photo before sign-off
Overdue actions escalate automatically
Formwork data is scattered across spreadsheets, photos, and chat
Some formwork records sit in Excel, some in a WhatsApp group, some in a folder of photos. There is no single source of truth for the formwork, so every formwork question takes an hour and three people to answer.
Problem
Formwork records split across Excel, chat, and photo folders
No single trusted version of the formwork record
Answering a simple formwork question takes hours
Solution
One system of record for every formwork check and finding
Every formwork photo and action tied to its record
Search any site or formwork and get an answer instantly
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Formwork Audit App check on a formwork audit?
Formwork Audit App runs a scored formwork audit against BS 5975 and OSHA 1926 subpart Q, checking props, spacing, and bracing, bearers, joists, and decking, verticality, line, and level, release agent and cleanliness, and edge protection and access. Each finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the point it fails, then routed to an owner with a deadline. It stays open until a reviewer verifies the fix, so the audit becomes a traceable evidence pack for site engineers and temporary-works coordinators rather than an ageing spreadsheet. Because scoring is built into the template, two sites assessed by two people produce numbers you can compare fairly.
Which formwork defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The audit targets the formwork failures that matter most: undersized or missing props, inadequate bracing, out-of-level decking, and grout loss at joints. Left unchecked, a fault such as undersized or missing props can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so site engineers and temporary-works coordinators fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.
Which standards does Formwork Audit App support for formwork work?
Formwork Audit App keeps formwork checks aligned to BS 5975 and OSHA 1926 subpart Q. The photos and readings each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, site engineers and temporary-works coordinators pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.
Can teams run formwork checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Formwork Audit App is offline-first: teams complete formwork checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So site engineers and temporary-works coordinators get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.
What evidence proves a formwork audit was completed?
Every completed formwork audit carries prop layout photo, level check note, and pre-pour permit, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, site engineers and temporary-works coordinators can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
