Barriers to Effective Housing Delivery

•Housing affordability
•Project construction and delivery challenges
• land availability,
• material and labor availability,
• technology systems, and
• administrative mechanisms.

Challenges with Current Housing Projects

construction

• Large housing projects (e.g., 500 or 1000 units)

often take 4 to 5 years or more from inception to
completion.
• Delayed completion is a major issue, largely due to
conventional onsite construction methods.
• Conventional technology and construction systems
contribute to prolonged project durations.
• Rainy seasons, extreme weather, non availability of
materials, labour shortages are also big challanges

Challenges with Current Housing Projects

• As response to this problem one of the solution is

that to construct the onsite activity to a outside
model where offsite model where the major
construction take place in a factory in terms of
building compounds.

Time Savings with Industrialized Building

Systems

• Industrialized building systems involve

incorporating industrialized processes outside of the
factory and assembling the product on-site.
• This approach significantly reduces construction
time and enables faster delivery of housing projects.
• Understanding the technical aspects of this system is
crucial to explore its potential in India.

Options in Industrialized Building Systems

Monolithic units (Boxes)

– 3 dimensional elements

Total system (panel )

– 2 dimensional emelements

Structural (linear)
– 1 dimensional elements

Now let us see which of the situation will be suitable

or useful for India case.
