MULTI-STOREY HOUSE
A multi-storey house is a structure with two or more floors.
The shared spaces like the living area, dining area, kitchen,
and powder room are often found on the ground floor. The
bedrooms, bathrooms, and other private spaces could be

The housing backlog is 3.9 million households. Assuming that production of housing units would average 200,000 units every year from 2012 to 2030, the backlog would still persist and hit 6.5 million households by
2030. The highest demand would come from the economic housing segment, followed by socialized housing, and lastly by low-cost housing.
The low-cost, socialized, and economic housing units account for a large share of housing production. From 2010 to 2011, housing production in the high-end, mid-end, and low-cost categories increased, while
production of houses in economic and socialized housing was relatively flat. From 2000 to 2011, economic, socialized, and low-cost housing cornered close to 70% of total housing production. During this same
period, the socialized segment accounted for 27%, the economic segment accounted for 29%, and low cost segment 13%.
As of 2011, there are 3,164 players in the housing industry. Despite the huge number of firms engaged in housing, only a few firms dominate the industry. Most of these firms are highly integrated developers that
are engaged in various real estate developments besides housing. Many other firms are into retail real estate, hotels, commercial office buildings, and industrial estate development.
