Low cost housing
- 1.
- 2. Low Costhousing means the total construction cost of houses (buildings) is minimum (low) by using proper materials, methods, techniques ,etc.
- 3. The building constructioncost can be divided into two parts namely: 1) Building material cost 2) Labour cost
- 4. Building Material cost : 65 to70 % Labour cost : 30 to 35 % Total Building construction cost
- 5. CONCEPT OF LOWCOST HOUSING Low Cost Housing Aims to reduce the cost of construction and at the same time do not sacrifice any element of safety or serviceability of the house over the life cycle.
- 6. In lowcost housing, building material cost is reduced because we make use of the locally available & low cost materials. Also the labour cost can be reduced by properly making the time schedule of our work. Cost reduction is achieved by selection of more efficient material or by an improved design.
- 7. FACTORS AFFECTING HIGH BUILDINGCOSTS Expensive materials Lack of necessary building skills Lack of guidelines in selection of appropriate building practices • Designs • Materials • Methods • equipment
- 8. Various aspects forcost reduction Optimization of land use Functional design of buildings Optimum use of building materials Rationalization of specifications New construction materials and techniques
- 9. Factors affecting Choiceof Materials and Technologies • Scale (Quantity) of construction • Availability of skilled labour • Availability/suitability of raw materials • Cost variation with conventional materials • Assortment based on geo-climatic conditions • Environmental aspects • Disaster-resistant requirements • Acceptability by people
- 10. Technology Selection Criteria •Saving in cost, initial as well as recurring. • Saving in consumption of imported or scare materials, even if no saving in cost is achieved. • Saving in time of construction. • Utilization of waste materials even if no saving is achieved.
- 11. Technology Selection Criteria •Saving in quantum of skilled labour even if no saving in cost is achieved. • Achieving better utilization of equipment but not necessary leading to optimum saving in cost. • Better utilization of space. • Better layout for economy in external services
