 ABSTRACT
Housing is a basic need of human being. But this is out of the means of low income
householder who constitute majority of the population in the country. Low cost housing become
must in civil engineering. In this report some methods of low cost housing given.

First of all in this report present situation present trends and future tends about low
costing hosting in India is given. This report is mainly concentrated on chapter construction
materials. A few low cost materials are developed and discussed in this report. The report are
also includes an important chapter as specification. The material needs for real construction of
house are specified. For example, use of solid blocks or low cost housing and bricks for common
housing.
 INTRODUCTION

As India tries to shed its tag of „Developing country’ and come in the league of „developed
nations‟ one of the precondition is to provide food, shelter and clothes for all. A major crisis for
our countries development is the problem of squatter settlement with nearly 100 millions peoples
living in slums and slums-like conditions without adequate basic facilities. These numbers are
expected to touch 200 millions by 2020.India‟s housing shortage is estimated to be high as 40
million units and demand from low income segment constitute a large proportion of this
shortage. This has given to need of Affordable Housing in India . India has massive sanitation
and public hygiene problem(Affordable housing for masses). More than half a billion citizen
don‟t have a toilet and the country need to build 78 new ones every minute over the next four
years to meet the Governament ambitious sanitation target. One in two Indians, or about 650
millions peoples, defecates in the open. The untreated waste poses a serious health risk. In 2007
India added about 11 millions toilets,but the Governament wants the rate of construction to rise
considerably.The national co-ordiantor of aid agrncy Water Aid India, Richard Mahapatra,used
official data to estimate that 40,000 new toilets a day are needed to reach the Government‟s goal
of making a lavatory available to every citizen by 2012. Pre engineering buildings is one of the
techniques that can be used for fast and economic building of houses and toilets in India.

This paper studies the opportunity of pre engineered building techniques to provide afflordable
housing and sanitation solution. Basic need to man in today‟s world is food, clothing and shelter.
House construction is a dream for low income peoples in our India. Wheather he is farmer, labor
or private employee. Cost of construction is at high because of high wages and high material
cost. A poor man has to spend his entire life in construction a house. Low cost housing is a
reasonable for low income owners, if they can invest 30% of their household income. India as a
developing country, has 20% of high income population that can afford a house. High and
middle income people takeover most of the low income housing. There is a need of cost effective
construction technology and materials. A low cost housing doesn‟t mean to sacrifice with
strength or build with operational materials but it means effective use of local materials and
techniques that are durable and require less maintenance. Low cost material reduce the cost by
using alternative techniques. India‟s urban population is the second largest in the world. The
country needs a plan for plant acquision and rapid construction.40-45% is slum population which
is growing day by day. Current shortage of 17.6 million houses is being faced by India. Mumbai
is the largest populated city of India having a population of 16 million according to 2011 census
which has seen an increment of 15.98% from 2001 census. India‟s population grows by 1.3% per
annum which is a main problem as 37% of population is below poverty line. A need of using low
cost house and easily available materials and technology.

Shortage of 17.6 million houses generates the usage of local available and natural materials in
rural and urban India. According to World Bank the rural and urban population of India in 2013
is 67.97% and 32.02% respectively.

Affordable housing is a term used in describe dwelling units whose total housing cost are
deemed “Affordable” to a group of people within a specified income range. In India,the
technology to be adopted for housing components should be such that the production and
erection technology be adjusted to suite the level of skills and handling facilities available
metropolitan, urban and rural conditions.
 OBJECTIVES

The following are the objectives of the present study.

1) To redefine the meaning of Affordable Housing by comparing.

2) To study the financial aspects of affordable housing.
3) To study the behaviour of the buyer towards affordable house.
4) To study materials and technology used in affordable housing.
 MATERIALS USED IN LOW COST HOUSING

By and large, conventional building materials like bricks, steel and cemet are higher in
cost , utilize large amount of non-renewable natural resources like energy, minerals, top soil,
forest cover, etc,. The continued use of such conventional materials has adverse impact on
economy and environment. Environment friendly materials and technologies with cost effectives
are, therefore, required to be adopted for sustainable construction which must fulfill some more
of the following criterion:-

1. Not endanger bio-reserves and be non-polluting.

2. Be self sustaining and promote self reliance.
3. Recycle polluting waste into usable materials.
4. Utilize locally available materials.
5. Utilize local skills, manpower and managing systems.
6. Benefit local economy by being income generating.
7. Utilize renewable energy sources.
8. Be accessible to people.
9. Be low in monetary cost.
