SURVEY REPORT ON URBAN HOUSING DEMAND FOR HOUSING

SHORTAGE IN INDIA According to the estimates made by the
Technical Group, constituted by the
Ministry of Housing & Urban Poverty
Alleviation, Government of India, for
assessment of the urban housing shortage
at the start of the 11th Five Year Plan
(2007-2011), the total housing shortage in
the country was 24.71 million.

As on 2012, only 24% of this demand had

been addressed.

The 12th Five Year plan (2012 – 17)

states the estimated housing requirement
till 2017 to be 18.78 millions.

The need to meet the huge demand over a

short span of time is a challenge
TOTAL- 18.78 MILLION

CHALLENGES/ THREATS TO MEET THE CONVENTIONAL CONSTRUCTION

DEMAND

Threats 1) Time consuming.

o Rapid Increase in urbanization 2) Dissipation of natural non

o Availability of skill tradesmen renewable resources.
o Diminishing natural resources
3) Increased dependency on
manpower.
Challenges
4) Reduced productivity.
o Fast delivery
o Making it affordable

SOLUTION

Redefine approach to construction

ESSENTIALS FOR MONOLITHIC CONCRETE

MONOLITHIC CONSTRUCTION
CONSTRUCTION
 Highly workable concrete mix

• A structure in which all

the components like walls,
slabs, staircases,
sunshades etc are cast
monolithically at one time  Pre-engineered formwork system

using one homogenous

material - Concrete

 Reinforcement

it with GGBS.

 Replacement of natural sand with slag

sand.

 Replacing reinforcement material.

 Minimizing usage of water at site.

 Usage of recycled aggregates in concrete.

WATER EFFICIENCY MATERIAL EFFICIENCY

• Green building materials are composed of renewable, rather

than non renewable resources.

• Green building material/product selection criteria :
