Achieving a flawless finish with concrete requires precision, expertise, and the right concrete placement techniques. Whether you’re working on a large commercial project or a small residential build, proper concrete placement is key to the strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal of the finished structure. LF Formwork, a leader in concrete services in Perth, employs proven techniques to ensure perfect results every time.
1. Proper Preparation
Before any concrete is poured, it’s crucial to ensure the area is properly prepared. This involves leveling the ground, setting up formwork, and ensuring that reinforcement materials are in place. Proper preparation helps prevent common issues like cracks, air pockets, or uneven surfaces. LF Formwork’s concrete placement services start with meticulous preparation to guarantee a smooth pour.

2. The Right Pouring Techniques
The method used to pour concrete can greatly affect the outcome of the project. It’s important to pour concrete evenly and continuously to avoid seams or cold joints, which can weaken the structure. LF Formwork utilizes advanced equipment and experienced workers to handle the concrete pouring process, ensuring consistency and quality throughout.
3. Smoothing and Leveling
After pouring, the concrete must be smoothed and leveled to achieve the desired finish. Tools like screeds, floats, and trowels are used to create a flat and even surface. LF Formwork’s experts use these tools with precision to ensure a flawless surface, whether it’s for foundations, slabs, or decorative concrete work.

4. Proper Curing Techniques
Once the concrete has been placed, curing is essential to achieving a durable and crack-free finish. Curing involves keeping the concrete moist for a specific period to allow it to gain strength gradually. Rushed or improper curing can lead to weak spots and a poor-quality finish. At LF Formwork, we follow industry best practices for concrete curing to ensure a long-lasting result.
5. Finishing Touches
Depending on the project, finishing touches such as surface texturing or sealing may be applied to enhance the durability and appearance of the concrete. Whether it’s a non-slip surface for outdoor areas or a polished finish for indoor spaces, LF Formwork tailors each project to the specific needs of our clients.
