Possibility to build in difficult areas such as city centers since COFFOR can be used without a crane. Local authorization, approval by neighbours as well as an overhead path for the crane are no longer necessary. Space requirements on-site are reduced.  
Under water construction
 

No more heavy materials
    Building reinforced concrete under water without draining the site: concrete is poured with a tube in the water directly to the bottom of COFFOR from the bottom-up. Space between the tube and concrete bed should not exceed 10cm (4").

No access problem
Simplicity and flexibility: unlike other stay-in-place formwork systems such as Shotcrete or ICF (double polystyrene panels), COFFOR does not require skilled labor or special equipment and is used with regular concrete.
