Hence there is higher cost in industrialized building compared with conventional buildings it becomes comparative that the factor affecting the two building system must be accessed to proffer solution for the cost of industrialized building and conventional building system.
      1.3      The need for the research
      The need for this research is to critically compare and accessed the factors which directly or indirectly affect the cost of industrialized building system, and conventional building system and see if they could be controlled or avoided completely.
      1.4      Aim and Objective
