Abstract : Concrete is a fundamental material in the construction industry, with formwork playing a crucial role in shaping and strengthening concrete elements. It also represents a significant cost in building projects. The history of formwork is extensive, and diverse systems have been employed across various projects. When selecting a formwork system, considerations such as safety, cost, structural requirements, construction duration, and environmental impact must be carefully weighed. This project provides a comprehensive review of different formwork systems used in concrete construction, encompassing their materials, flexibility, fabrication methods, application in structures, and environmental implications. The advantages and limitations of these systems are analysed and compared, culminating in practical recommendations. Formwork systems are pivotal in determining the success of construction projects in terms of efficiency, quality, cost-effectiveness, and safety. Recent innovations, particularly modular formwork systems, have revolutionized the construction industry in countries like Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Middle East. These systems have proven to be cost- effective, enhance construction quality, and accelerate project timelines. Their adaptability makes them particularly suitable for mass construction projects in India, where achieving high-quality, rapid construction is crucial. By leveraging modern formwork technologies, construction practices can achieve safer, faster, and more sustainable outcomes, aligning with advancements

Keywords : Formwork; High-Rise Building; Climbing Formwork; Constructability.
