Abstract
Vertical development is the ideal solution to meet the demand of land for the fast growing urban population in India. It is the construction of tall structures such as high-rise buildings, sky scrapers and sky towers etc., rather than constructing laterally to accommodate large population in quiet a lesser area.. A valid comparison of different climbing formwork with the conventional formwork is done for the lift core-wall in the 20 storey high-rise building model using Building Information Modeling (BIM). From the developed 3D BIM model, the cost, time, quality, safety and sustainability factors of both conventional and climbing formwork are explored in detail by quantitative and qualitative indices
