The invention discloses a hollow slab form used for a building and a construction method. The hollow slab form comprises a side template (1) and a prefabricated soleplate (8), wherein the side template (1) is dislocated and lapped by a lower side template (2) and an upper side template (3), and a hole or a notch (4) is arranged at the bottom of the lower side template (2) and is located at the inner side of the upper side template (3). The construction method comprises the following steps: a bottom template (11) is supported, a rib beam reinforcing steel bar (10) is bound, and the spliced side template (1) is placed; the prefabricated soleplate (8) is placed on a support part (7), and a horizontal support is provided; the concrete is poured, after the concrete reaches a certain intensity, the lower side template (2) is dismounted, the prefabricated soleplate (8) is arranged on the support rib (7), and mortar is painted on the prefabricated soleplate to form the hollow slab. The hollow slab form has the advantages of less material consumption, easiness in splicing, recycling, simple construction, and capability of minimizing widths of seams between the prefabricated soleplate and cast-in-place dense ribs, and improving integrity of the hollow slab.
