History

Fab-Form began in 1986 when the founder Rick Fearn was building a condominium project in Vancouver, BC and the forming contractor made a 2' error in the footing forms, wasting thousands of dollars of 2x12 fir footing lumber. As Rick had his office located in a fabric warehouse, he thought "why not use fabric to form the footings"? This was the start of Fastfoot^®, the fabric footing form.

Innovation in the construction industry is very slow especially with a paradigm change such as using fabric to form footings. Indeed, it took over 40 years for drywall to replace lath and plaster. In the 1980s, the only way to introduce innovation was by trade shows and setting up displays in local lumber yards. Very slow and expensive. The world wide web was just beginning.

By 1998, the founder had depleted his funds, and a stock market promoter promised $1 million in capital by going public. In 1999, Fab-Form Industries Ltd. became public, trading under the symbol FBF. Sadly the promotor was only able to raise sufficient funds to pay the legal and brokerage expenses and left.

Fab-Form survived by selling its core product Fastfoot^®. In 2003 Fab-Form developed the welding and C-folding technology to manufacture an innovation concrete column form called Fast-Tube^®. Henry Van Delft of Sunset Builders was the first user of Fast-Tube^®. Contractors like Henry and his assistant Ron are crucial to the development of innovative construction products.

Fab-Form believes strongly in the public company structure as it enables employees to become owners. And it enables the public to participate in our growth as a result of innovative products that assist in taming the ground (see below).
