Formwork:
Any arrangement to support fresh concrete to attain its full strength and shape is known as formwork. It can be a vertical or horizontal arrangement to keep concrete in position. Formwork is removed after concrete gains full strength.
I would also recommend you to read my other article about Mivan Formwork.
In the below image I have shown formwork for footing.
Shuttering:
Formwork that supports the vertical surface is known as shuttering. Example- Column, Footing, Retaining walls. So we can say shuttering is a type of formwork to support vertical surfaces.
In the below image I have shown shuttering work for the columns.
Centering:
Formwork that supports horizontal surfaces is called centering. Example- formwork for the floor, floor beam bottom, slab, etc.
It is a type of formwork that support only horizontal surface. In the below image you can see the centring work for slab.
Staging:
Material such as wooden bullies, pipes, prop support, coupler, and the cup-lock system used to support the framework is called staging.
Scaffolding:
A platform provided for workers around the building to work at the higher places of building pipe tube and coupler, bamboo or wooden, suspended scaffolding.
FAQS
Shuttering and centering is a method of creating a temporary structure to support wet concrete during the pouring and curing process. Shuttering is the process of building the formwork or mold that holds the concrete in place, and centering refers to the support system that keeps the formwork stable and level.
Staging refers to the platform or elevated surface used by workers to access different levels of a building during construction. Scaffolding refers to a temporary structure used to support workers and materials during the construction process.

The three main types of scaffolds are single pole scaffolds, double pole scaffolds, and suspended scaffolds.
The four main types of scaffolds are single pole scaffolds, double pole scaffolds, suspended scaffolds, and cantilever scaffolds.
