Low cost housing aims to reduce construction costs while maintaining safety. This is achieved by using locally available, affordable materials and reducing labor costs through efficient scheduling. Characteristics of suitable low cost building materials include being easy to manufacture and use, affordable, allowing faster construction, enabling waste utilization, and being energy efficient and environmentally friendly. Examples include fly ash bricks, clay fly ash bricks, and concrete blocks. Low cost housing is important due to factors like growing populations, increasing land costs, and the need for affordable housing. Costs can be reduced through careful material selection, reuse of waste, and pre-planning construction components to minimize waste. The advantages of low cost housing include affordable rent and shelter for low-income individuals, while disadvantages

Areas from where cost can be reduced • Use locally available material • Use environmentaly friendly material • Pre plan every component of a house and design the procedure for reducing the size of the component in the building • By planning each and every component of a house the wastage of the materials can be avoided Advantages of low cost housing • Low cost housing offers affordable rent • It can help to reduce poverty • It is especially useful for low income people • It is useful for people struggling to find shelter Disadvantage of low cost housing • Risk • Low cost housing can be considered unreliable • Low cost housing is often not maintained • It benefit primarily businesses rather than the general public Conclclusion A low cost house designed and constructed as any other house with regard to foundation, structure and strength THANK YOU
