To reduce the overall cost of the project, it is highly recommend reducing the cost in different manner. To make economic structure, the cost cutting should be done in every construction stages. The dual systems in building structure consist of structural walls and moment resisting frames. The walls are made up of RCC, which is a costly material used. The purpose of current study is to explore the reduction in shear wall area in multistorey building to reduce cost. Total 5 buildings framed in Staad pro software abbreviated as SA, SB, SC, SD, SE supposed to be situated at Seismic Zone III. Post parametric analysis results shows that, the reduction in shear wall area should be adapted to a certain limit up to 20 % for cost cutting.
