Conventional High Soffit Slab Formwork

FrameMaster High Strutting Formwork System

The FrameMaster High Strutting Formwork System is an engineered formwork solution that converts standard 50mm and 60mm formwork frames into a safe, accessible high-strutting system—perfect for supporting high soffit suspended slabs. Unlike traditional methods that rely on scaffold towers and installers, FrameMaster enables formworkers to achieve required slab heights without scaffold. This system eliminates complex scaffold erection while improving safety, saving time, and significantly reducing labour costs on site.

Key Benefits

A Smarter Way to Shore High Soffit Slabs — Without the Scaffold.

Turns Your Existing Frames Into a High-Capacity Strutting System
Simply use your standard 40mm or 50mm formwork frames to create a safe high-support structure without the need for expensive, labour-heavy scaffold towers.

No Scaffold. No Scaffolders.
Designed to eliminate the need for external scaffold suppliers or installers—streamline your project with in-house resources.

Safe & Compliant Access
Integrated ladder access and engineered working platforms make the system not only high-performing, but fully compliant with Australian safety standards.

Engineered for High Soffit Slabs
Purpose-built for supporting high and difficult-to-reach suspended slabs—ideal for commercial and infrastructure projects.

Fully Modular & Flexible
Compatible with both Super Shore (Brooker/Acrow) and Pafilli frames, the system adapts to a range of slab heights and loading conditions with ease.

Common Applications

Where FrameMaster Excels in Performance and Simplicity

High Soffit Suspended Slabs
Perfect for slabs positioned at significant heights above ground level, where traditional propping becomes inefficient or uneconomical. FrameMaster delivers vertical support with reduced frame towers and without scaffold complications.

Infrastructure Projects
Ideal for bridges, tunnels, and other civil works where soffit heights and slab spans are substantial, and scaffold erection is impractical or unsafe.

Basement Top-Slabs and Transfer Slabs
Provides the strength and height needed to shore heavier-than-usual slab thicknesses with increased access under the structure for materials and trades.

Restricted-Access or Scaffold-Limited Sites
Eliminates the need for external scaffold systems, which can be challenging to transport, costly to erect, or limited by site constraints. FrameMaster is self-contained, easy to install, and fully engineered.

Projects with Fast Turnarounds
The modular nature and fast installation of FrameMaster make it an ideal choice for tight programs where scaffold lead times, labour dependencies, or delays must be avoided.
