1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Various researchers are of the opinion
that with the demand for housing in Nigeria growing at a geometric rate
while housing provision is at arithmetic rate, there is obvious need to
evolve a more practical method of achieving mass housing development in
the country. Dry construction presents an excellent opportunity to
government at all levels and the primary mortgage institutions to
guarantee speedy provision of mass and affordable housing in Nigeria.
The researcher is of the view that dry construction technology will
provide for building professionals and contractors a viable alternative
to the traditional wet construction method with blocks and bricks and
concrete. However, this study will examine the role of dry construction
in ensuring affordable housing in Nigeria.
1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The following are the objectives of this study:
To examine the role of dry construction in ensuring affordable houses in Nigeria.
To examine the process involved in dry construction system.
To determine the factor limiting the use of dry construction system for building development in Nigeria.
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
What is the role of dry construction in ensuring affordable houses in Nigeria?
What is the process involved in dry construction system?
What are the factors limiting the use of dry construction system for building development in Nigeria?
1.5 HYPOTHESIS
HO: Dry construction system cannot be use as a means for the provision of affordable houses for Nigerian.
HA: Dry construction system can be used as a means for the provision of affordable houses for Nigerian.
1.6 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The following are the significance of this study:
The
outcome of this study will educate professionals in building technology
and other stakeholders in the building industry on the need for active
innovative development with the use of dry construction system with the
view of ensuring the provision of affordable houses for Nigerians.
This
research will also serve as a resource base to other scholars and
researchers interested in carrying out further research in this field
subsequently, if applied will go to an extent to provide new explanation
to the topic
1.7 SCOPE/LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
This study on
the role of dry construction in ensuring affordable houses in Nigeria
will cover all the process involved in the use of dry construction
system with a view of determining approaches that can be adopted in the
delivery of sustainable mass housing for Nigerians.
LIMITATION OF STUDY
Financial
constraint- Insufficient fund tends to impede the efficiency of the
researcher in sourcing for the relevant materials, literature or
information and in the process of data collection (internet,
questionnaire and interview).
Time constraint- The researcher will
simultaneously engage in this study with other academic work. This
consequently will cut down on the time devoted for the research work.
