For example: 12 story poured-in-place building

At the end of the year do you push all your equipment off of a cliff and chalk it up as waste? NO? Then why do you waste lumber and labor all year long? Stop excess waste now.

All jobs have varying conditions, but this is a basic example:

• 12 stories * 4 exterior walls = 48 exterior walls to pour
• @ 15 bracing/aligning locations per wall
•  = 720 total exterior wall bracing/aligning locations

• 2 wall pours at a time
• = 30 braces to install and strip before and after every pour (labor intense and time consuming)1

• MINIMUM 1 MAN HOUR per bracing/aligning location.2

• ELIMINATE 75% of your bracing/aligning costs using KWICKER-KICKERS™.
• ELIMINATE materials used and the setting and stripping of 4x4 & 4x6 braces before and after each pour.
• ELIMINATE the moving of heavy pipe braces in and out of immediate work area, and stripping and installing before and after every pour.
• ELIMINATE the handling of braces when not in use.
• ELIMINATE the injuries associated with the handling of braces.
• 720 man hours or 180 man hours for your bracing/aligning costs on a job like this? It's up to you.3

DO THE MATH! You know what you pay per man hour. This savings is huge.

This is one of the many proven ways KWICKER-KICKER™ will increase your bottom line.

1Other options would be to install braces at 45 or at all 60 bracing/aligning locations. This would depend on how many close up wall forms, expected turnaround time and available workspace.

21 man hour per brace location includes all handling of braces from start to finish of job. including setting, stripping before and after every pour, floor to floor (crane cost each time), occasional maintenance, any related clean up costs after each stripping of braces and continually moving out of immediate work area.

3540 man hours saved.  Union or prevailing wages plus benefits and Workman's Comp easily reach $50 per man hour.
This is taking apprentice and journeyman wages into consideration.  540 saved man hours @ $50 per man hour = $27,000

Using three close up wall forms and 45 KWICKER-KICKERS™ at a cost of $12,375 for braces & sales tax (shipping not included).

Do the math!

$27,000 saved , minus $12,375 for KWICKER-KICKERS™ leaves $14,625 and 45 paid-for KWICKER-KICKER™ braces on your table (this application would be using the model KW-9'6"16').

THIS IS WHY KWICKER-KICKER™ patent pending Retractable Form-Alignment Braces could become and, we think, will become an industry standard.
