RakennFORMA

rakennFORMA is a construction technology company focused on modular formwork systems and digital planning tools for reinforced concrete. Based in Helsinki, Finland, it serves contractors, prefab manufacturers, and design firms worldwide. Founded in 2012 by civil engineers and software developers, rakennFORMA aims to integrate reusable formwork with building information modeling to reduce waste and improve efficiency.

Core offerings include the Modular Formwork System (MFS), a kit of standardized panels, frames, and connectors for rapid assembly and long service life. The system supports multi-storey applications and common handling practices. The PlanIT planning platform pairs with the hardware to enable virtual prototyping, clash detection, and on-site material tracking within BIM workflows.

Historically, the company established regional presence in Nordic and European markets before expanding to North America through partnerships and distributors. By the mid-2020s it served a diversified customer base in Europe and North America and pursued growth in Asia-Pacific. It collaborates with tier-1 contractors, prefab producers, and research institutions to promote formwork reuse and digital construction methods.

Sustainability is a core focus. The formwork components are designed for high reuse and recycling at end of life, with case studies reporting reduced waste and shorter construction cycles in funded projects. The company conducts life-cycle assessment work and materials research to improve environmental performance.

RakennFORMA is privately held and governed by a leadership team and a board of directors. The firm emphasizes product development, customer support, safety, quality control, and compliance with construction standards.
