layout plan.
• Minimum area of plot will be 2000sq.m
•
Land proposed for group housing will be located at 12m wide exiting road, But the distance of the plot
from 18m (or above) wide road will not be more than 100m.
•

which be 2.1m up to the beam.
• If silt floor is used for purpose other than parking then it will be counted in F.A.R. Park and open area
will be provided at the rate of 1.0sq.m. per person or 15% of the whole area, whichever is more, in the
plot of area 3000sq.m (or above).
 LOW COST HOUSING :

Low cost housing refers to those housing units which are affordable by that section of society whose income
is below than median household income. This depends on three key parameters—income level, size of
dwelling unit and affordability.

Advantages of low cost building materials are :

• Pollutionprevention,
• Reducing Energy Consumption and
• Use of Natural materials,
• Use of Local material,
• Energy Efficiency,
• Use of non-toxic building materials,

 INCREMENTAL HOUSING

 Incremental housing can be defined as a gradual step-by-step process whereby building

components are appended or improved by owner-builders as funding, time, or materials become
available. In this way, the costs of housing construction can be reduced, especially compared with
the housing delivery by contractors.
• Mixed housing projects for different income groups in one neighborhood.
• Higher housing densities also for persons who want to finish their houses by themselves.
• Lowering the costs of the land (plots) and the dimensions of the plots.
• People who do not built up their purchased lot, or do not finish their dwelling, have to sell back their
property for the same price to the municipality or the building corporation, after a certain period.
• Foundations and building structures must be completed in
advance, and to be financed within a governed organization.
• Homes can be delivered as completed ones or as grow-
houses within a built-up building structure or framework.
• Focus on sustainable construction methods and sustainable
building materials.
• Continue to focus on offering technical assistance for self-
building households.
• Transfer of technical knowledge, to the residents and the
local communities.
• Ensure that the low- cost housing leads towards an economic
growth model that benefits the concerned residents group.
 COST EFFECTIVE HOUSING :

Cost effective housing is a relative concept that seeks to reduce construction cost through
effective utilization of locally available building materials along with improved skills and
technologies without sacrificing the strength, performance and life of the structure

Thereduction in costs for houses can be achieved through select use of appropriate materials,
construction techniques and through design as well. The selection of a more cost-effective
method depends more on the local conditions, available skills and equipment.

Moreeffort should be put into development of adapted systems based on incorporation of new
research findings on alternative materials and techniques into existing method.
The advantages of this form of design and construction are:
 Greater savings are realized for materials such as cement and sand.
 Significant reduction in labor costs.
 The rate of construction is high and hence housing units can be delivered within a short period.
 Employment is generated from making the blocks through to construction of the houses.
 The thermal quality of these walls is good and they are ideal for semi-arid climates.
