 Housing
Housing generally refers to the social problem of ensuring that members of
society have a home in which to live, whether this is a house, or some other
kind of dwelling, lodging, or shelter.
Housing in India varies from palaces of erstwhile maharajas in Rajasthan to
modern apartment buildings in big cities to tiny huts in far-flung villages .
There has been tremendous growth in India's housing sector as incomes
have risen.
With modernization there is a growing number of nuclear families, in which
each couple occupies its own house after marriage, in urban areas. It is still
rare, not impossible, amongst traditional communities for senior citizens to
live alone. It is extremely rare even in urban areas for couples to live together
before marriage. Some single young adults live in same-sex dormitories or in
shared accommodation during college and the early working years.
The life-style in villages takes advantage of the warm weather. Many families
bathe outdoors in rivers and ponds. Most of the day is spent outdoors around
or near the house. Cooking is conducted outdoors in earthen stoves
powered by organic fuels or in modern kerosene stoves. Water is obtained
from hand-drawn wells. Men perform their ablutions in designated spots
throughout the day; Visitors to villages may find residents squatting down for
an afternoon card game under trees or while sitting on charpois (traditional
hand-made beds) brought outside during the day. Consequently, they use
their indoor space primarily to sleep, change and, in electrified homes, to
watch TV
 Low Cost Housing
Low Cost Housing is a new concept which deals with effective
budgeting and following of techniques which help in reducing
the cost construction through the use of locally available
materials along with improved skills and technology without
sacrificing the strength, performance and life of the
structure.There is huge misconception that low cost housing is
suitable for only sub standard works and they are constructed by
utilizing cheap building materials of low quality.The fact is that
Low cost housing is done by proper management of
resources.Economy is also achieved by postponing finishing works
or implementing them in phase
LOW COST HOUSING
Why do we need low cost
houses?
Growing population day by day
Affordable housing for BPL people
We need a solution that is fast
Easy to build
Fulfills the needs of conventional houses
Our country aims that in our near future each and every individual
has his/her shelter for his family and to fulfill this need we definitely
need some immediate plans
 Key Features
Inexpensive to build
Save money while also maintaining building quality
Not sacrificing the strength, performance and life of the structure
Takes less time in building in comparison to the conventional ones
Use of resources while not harming the environment
Final result should be affordable for most people
Different building
techniques are:
Recycling
Extensive planning
Modular planning
Infilling
 Recycling
Recycled materials adapted for low-cost housing include wood
and rubber that are previously been used.
Reprocessed into materials that are used in building walls and
other parts of a house.
Recycled glass and metal are also used on occasion.
These recycled materials are often less expensive than using fully
natural products.
 Extensive Planning
In extensive planning, the more planning goes into
a house, the less the actual construction will cost.
Contractors should plan out exact dimensions
and should gather facts.
Contractors should look for the best materials at
the cheapest prices so they can order exactly
what they need.
This saves money that would otherwise be wasted
on unnecessary supplies and cleanup caused by
littered materials.
Most houses are built as quickly as possible
without this detailed planning beforehand.
 Modular Planning
Modular building is a type of construction where pieces of the
home or typically whole rooms or major parts of rooms ,are
built off-site in large factories.
This process allows the pieces to be built efficiently and
exactly according to building standards.
At the site, the pieces are connected to the house.
Since materials aren't assembled on-site, owners save money
on construction time, including the time it would take to clear
away the construction debris.
Techniques to reduce cost
from area.
Reduce plinth area by using thinner wall concept.
Use locally available material in an innovative form like soil
cement blocks in place of burnt brick.
Use energy efficiency materials which consumes less energy
like concrete block in place of burnt brick.
Use environmentally friendly materials which are substitute for
conventional building components like use R.C.C. Door and
window frames in place of wooden frames.
Preplan every component of a house and rationalize the
design procedure for reducing the size of the component in the
building.
By planning each and every component of a house the
wastage of materials due to demolition of the unplanned
component of the house can be avoided.
 Affordable Housing

Affordable housing
Demand for housing in India is literally going through the
roof. To cater to the increasing demand, Tata
BlueScope Steel supplies affordable housing solution - a
Complete Solution to the customer right from

buildings have to be built in huge numbers, not only to
prevent the expansion of slums and chawls, but also for
its eradication.
This solution provides steel houses that can be erected
in a very short span of time and which have all features
equivalent to or better than conventional houses.
These LGS houses have been tested and are in use in
various countries such as the USA, China, Malaysia,
Vietnam, Indonesia, etc. to name a few.
NGOs, Government Agencies, Corporates and
Individuals involved in Rehabilitation/ Relief works can
make use of our affordable housing solutions.
Conclusion
There is a strict need at present in India for building cheap
and affordable houses
It is the key to nations development ,to provide proper shelter
to its citizens
The growing population in urban areas have led to a strict
shortage in land, congested traffic and housing shortfall
This has also led to the hike in prices which makes it impossible
for common people to have their own houses
Thus there is a immediate need for construction of cheap
houses in large scale
