Walls are one of the most important structure elements of a building. A wall plays several functions in the performance of a building and these functions need to be fully understood in order to create suitable and comfortable building as well as providing privacy also as protection from weather.

It will focus on the whole process shear wall construction using the simple formwork system. It also investigates the equipment and machinery in the methods simple formwork system for shear wall construction and to determine the time that have been used for the construction. This report will also look to at the problem and the solution in wall construction that would fulfill the criteria of shear wall. The methods that were used in order to gain information about the objective discussed were through observation, interviewing staff and document review. To conclude, the identification of shear wall construction method, machineries and tools, the time used for the shear wall construction and problem and solution during shear wall construction had been achieved effectively.
