Abstract: In recent years, my country's economic development level has been rapidly improved. At the same time, my country's urbanization process is also accelerating. The increasing number of urban residents has led to an increasing shortage of urban housing. At this stage, in order to meet the housing needs of residents, construction companies must continuously strengthen construction quality and construction efficiency. Under this background, high-formwork construction technology has been applied and popularized. Based on this, this article analyzes the functions and characteristics of the high formwork construction technology, and explores its application in civil engineering for reference.
