Construction is one of the significant sectors of Indian economy and is an integral part of development of country. India’s population in present scenario is the second largest in the world which leads to increased demand for housing. To fulfill this requirement India should desperately plan for rapid construction works. One of the important parameter of a successful construction project in terms of speed, quality, cost and safety of work is the formwork used in project. Formwork consumes about 35 to 40 % cost of the project. Formwork enables to cast and construct the important elements and components of any construction project, which are required to be strong and effectively handle the structure. Mivan is comparatively a new construction technology upcoming for successful completion of mass project especially repetitive in nature. This paper focused about the cost and time consideration of Mivan Formwork system with Conventional Formwork system. The Mivan Formwork system is appreciably efficient with cost, quality and time saving as compare to Conventional Formwork system. The basic ideology is to bring the attention on Mivan Formwork system over conventional formwork system and highlighting the affectivity of Mivan formwork system over Conventional formwork system.
