CAD For Formwork

Learn CAD in 8 Weeks

You know formwork. But you're still sketching by hand while others use 3D models. Let's change that.

Who Is CAD For Formwork For?

CAD For Formwork is designed specifically for formworkers who are ready to learn CAD.

This course is for you if:

  • You've always wanted to learn CAD—whether you've tried and failed before, or always thought it was too hard for you
  • You're a formworker who sees how CAD could add value to your daily work
  • You're a formworker who sees how CAD could add value to your daily work

  • You need to understand complex concrete shapes and the formwork required to build them

  • You want to stand out and open up new career opportunities

  • You're ready to dive in and get started now

This course is NOT for you if:

  • You think you'll use CAD once a month and stay sharp—this is a skill that needs to become part of your regular workflow
  • You're not willing to put in the time (5-7 hours per week for 8 weeks)
  • You already know Rhino or CAD well—this is fundamentals, not advanced techniques
  • You can't see how formwork-focused CAD would benefit your work

How CAD For Formwork Works

Over 8 weeks, you'll learn Rhino 3D through live sessions and self-paced lessons. You already know formwork—this course gives you the tools to show it.

2-hour live sessions each week. Self-paced lessons to follow along. Practice exercises to apply what you've learned. All centred around 'The Digital Foundation'—a formwork project you'll build from the ground up.

 

Taught By Someone Who Knows the Work—Not Just the Software

I'm Kris. I've spent 15+ years in formwork and manufacturing—designing complex shapes, manufacturing moulds, and solving problems on-site.

I didn't learn CAD in a classroom. I learned it because I needed to solve real problems. I help clients, architects, builders, contractors, suppliers—everyone involved in the project—see and understand what's being built. CAD becomes the medium for workshops and real-time problem solving—so everyone can decide the best course of action together.

This course is built on 15+ years of trial and error—so you don't have to go through it yourself. Just what works, what's useful, and the tips and tricks I've picked up along the way.

From Those Who've Done It

Person 5 “Before this course I was drawing everything by hand. Now I model full formwork systems in Rhino with confidence.”

— Josh R., Leading Hand Formworker

Person 5 “Kris explains CAD the way formworkers actually think. No software jargon — just practical steps I use every week on site.”

— Michael T., Site Supervisor

Person 5 “This course opened doors for me. I’ve moved from purely labouring to supporting the design team.”

— Dylan S., Formworker

Person 5 “The live sessions were a game changer. Every time I got stuck, Kris helped me fix it in minutes.”

— Aaron L., Carpenter & Formworker

Person 5 “Rhino always felt too hard before. Now I use it every day — modelling, measuring, planning, everything.”

— Sam H., Concrete Worker
