Core-wall construction method is applied in many high-rise building constructions. This is caused by the advantages of the method such as the effect of saved construction cost and shortened period. However, the analysis study of planning practice for core-wall construction shows matters take place during core-wall construction, such as increasing in construction cost and period. These matters result from the limited work space leading to low productivity, the activity interference leading to increasing in period, additional temporary work cost and time, and delayed concrete pour activity. A large part of these can be prevented taking place by very detailed and most careful core-wall construction plan. Therefore, this study suggests improvement directions of core-wall construction planning process focused on the cooperation system of a contractor between a sub-contractor and the process.

The need of high-rise building is increased, because population is concentrated and the building site is limited in the city. Owing to this request buildings in downtown become more high rise. Therefore, we must develop the design, structure, high technology and materials. The core wall construction is one of the method of construction preferred because it cut down the cost and decrease the schedule. According to research in this study, we found that the selection process of core wall system form is focused on the schedule and cost. the construability is relatively failed to notice. As a result, the problem of construability is happened under the construction, it lead to delay the schedule and increase the cost. The purpose of this study is suggest to decision making process of core wall system form considered improving construction productivity.
