Abstract: This invention relates to a lifting method of building construction from top to bottom, in which steel story posts are utilized for support columns needed by the building, all the stories are constructed on steel beams riveting positioned with steel story posts, all the steel story posts are lifted out story by story synchronously by underground jacking apparatuses. This lifting method can not only effectively overcome the defects such as long construction period, high cost, and difficulties in safety protection of the builders etc. in prior art, but also can be extensively applied in construction of special architectures such as high-rises or skyscrapers, large area indoor wall-bearing structures and various longspan bridges etc.
