A basic MAS-570™ form/equipment package consists of:
- One each MAS-570™ Air form
- One each MAS-570™ Air form ring
- Two each Corner forms
- One front entry form
- One MAS-570™ SPiFolding System (Scaffolding system for a single MAS-570™)
The cost for the MAS-570™ form/equipment package is $25,400 USD FOB Cedar City, Utah and should last long enough to build 1,000 or more structures.
The forms can be removed in 3.5 days, thus allowing 2 MAS-570™ structures to be built per week from a single form system.
The SPiFolding must remain for a full 7 days to complete the exterior structure and finish. Thus Contractors building hundreds or thousands of MAS-570™ structures, often order a 2nd MAS-570™ SPiFolding set for $6,035. This allows the contractor to construct two each MAS-570™ structures per week with this suggested package.
These form sets can be used over and over and over again. MAS™ expects in excess of 1,000 uses. MAS™ can ship spare parts and repair kits in case of accidental damage. The air form is easily repaired.
With the above Form Package with extra MAS-570™ SPiFolding set “Speed Form Package”, a contractor can construct approximately 104 MAS-570’s per year per form package.
Here is the formula to decide how many Speed Form Package sets to buy at a cost of $31,435.00 USD /per set.
(# of MAS-570’s required) DIVIDED BY (104) DIVIDED BY (project construction time in years)
For Example:
If you want to build 3,000 MAS-570’s in 6 months (1/2 a year) the equation would be:
3,000 / 104 / 0.5 = 58 Speed Form Packages are required.
Thus it would cost 58 X $31,435 = $1,823,230 USD (FOB Cedar City) for the forms/equipment. When amortized over the 3,000 MAS-570™ structures to be built in the current example, the form/equipment cost per structure would be $608 USD.
If allowed 2 years for construction, rather than 1/2 a year, then only 15 Speed formform packages would be required which when amortized over the 3,000 MAS-570™ structures to be built in the current example, the form cost per structure would be $157 USD.
Keep in mind that if you did purchase 58 form sets these would allow you to build approximately 58,000 total MAS-570™ units and thus the actual amortized cost per unit is only $31 per MAS-570™ to be built.
The driving factor is normally how long a period of time the contractor is given to construct the units. The faster a contractor must go, the more forms sets the contractor will require so that more units can be constructed at the same time.
MAS™ can assist the Contractor in calculating the number of form packages required based on the trade off of speed to build and the capital cost of purcuring such form sets.
