Affordable housing a necessity not a luxury!

AFFORDABLE HOUSING VIA ALTERNATIVE BUILDING MATERIALS.

By Frank P Ebikefe

We’re highlighting the pressing issue of affordable housing in Nigeria. Exploring alternative building materials could indeed help reduce construction costs and drive rents down. Some potential options include:

1. – Earth-based materials: Compressed earth blocks, mud houses, or rammed earth construction.
2. – Recycled materials: Repurposed shipping containers, recycled plastic, or reclaimed wood.
3. – Local and sustainable materials: Bamboo, thatch, or other locally sourced, renewable resources.

These alternatives can offer several benefits, including:

1. – Lower costs: Reduced material costs can make housing more affordable.
2. – Environmental benefits: Sustainable materials can minimize waste and environmental impact.
3. – Innovative designs: Alternative materials can inspire creative and functional designs.

What do you think are the most significant challenges to implementing alternative building materials in Nigeria and what is your state Governor doing about affordable housing?
