        abstract = {The rapid growth of urbanization, population density, and housing demand has accelerated the adoption of advanced construction technologies aimed at improving productivity, structural reliability, and project delivery efficiency. Among these innovations, Mivan Construction Technology has emerged as a prominent industrialized construction system, particularly for high-rise residential and mass housing developments. Unlike conventional reinforced concrete construction, which relies on beam column framing and masonry infill walls, Mivan technology utilizes reusable aluminium formwork to facilitate monolithic wall slab construction, thereby enhancing construction speed and dimensional precision. Despite its increasing implementation in largescale projects, a comprehensive technical evaluation of its performance relative to conventional building systems remains limited. This paper presents a critical review and comparative assessment of Mivan Construction Technology and Conventional Building Systems based on key performance indicators including construction efficiency, structural performance, economic feasibility, sustainability, quality of construction, labour productivity, and Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) coordination. The study synthesizes findings from published literature, industry practices, and representative case studies involving a 22storey residential building constructed using Mivan technology and a conventional reinforced concrete residential building. A systematic evaluation framework is employed to examine the advantages, limitations, and application suitability of both construction methodologies. The analysis indicates that Mivan technology significantly reduces construction cycle time, material wastage, labour dependency, and finishing requirements while improving structural rigidity, seismic resistance, dimensional accuracy, and service integration. However, higher initial investment costs, limited flexibility for postconstruction modifications, and dependence on repetitive floor layouts restrict its applicability in smaller projects. Conversely, conventional construction remains advantageous for low-rise developments requiring architectural flexibility and lower capital investment. The findings of this review provide valuable insights for engineers, developers, researchers, and policymakers in selecting appropriate construction technologies and contribute to the ongoing transition toward sustainable and industrialized construction practices.},
