The object of research is the National Space Center, a high-rise building under construction in Moscow. Method. The method used involves objective observations to determine the impact of various factors associated with the use of self-lifting formwork on the construction speed of high-rise buildings. Furthermore, the study implements optimized construction methods to reduce the influence of these factors on the building process. Results. The results obtained from this research provide insights and solutions for reducing the impact of the investigated factors on the erection of high-rise structures. Understanding these factors will help to consider important nuances during the construction of future high-rise projects using self-lifting formwork techniques.
