Abstract

Construction industry plays a vital role in an economical aspect all over the world as an integral part of the development of a nation. The most important factor which affects the people is shelter. Shelter is very essential to everyone. Due to over population and increasing occupants of migrated people, the necessity to occupy the constructional building seems to be gradually increased. To avail the economical residence and work place to all with good quality assurance at a low cost might be tedious. The increasing demand for cost effective and quality parameters of the construction of any type of building leads to develop the new advanced technologies to overcome the drawbacks in the construction fields. Construction is one of the significant sectors of an Indian economy with involving a complex process including Architectural planning, Engineering design and tedious execution. As by realization the quality and cost should be achieved in an acceptable manner depends upon the type of building to be construct. Hence this project involves detailed cost estimation and quality analysis for walls of a building such as by using brick wall, precast wall panels and by MIVAN formwork with the help of Value Engineering concept. This paper describes the comparative analysis of conventional wall construction, precast wall construction and MIVAN formwork on the basis of cost and quality parameter.
