Abstracts: Low cost Housing is a new concept which deals with effective budgeting and different techniques which helps in reducing the cost of construction through the use of the locally available material along with improved skills and technology without sacrificing the strength, performance and the life of the structure. Despite rise in the standard of living of people in the developing countries in the recent years, houses to masses in the affordable cost are a distant dream for them. Due to lack of proper knowledge of cost effective technologies and components, they have to incures high cost for the construction for the houses. Through, there are many cost effective technologies and components with proven track record the available with use which have been wildly used in the various housing projects in our country. There is no such awareness or knowledge, by which people can get acquainted with various cost effective technologies. In this project, we tried to decease the cost with reference to the existing building by using the locally available and durable materials, proper construction method which also lead to the decrease the cost of construction, by selection of appropriate construction techniques. By applying all these criteria, we are able to achieved such construct proposed building having 30% less cost compared to the existing building. As Our project site, we referred the ‘GREEN EXOTICA’ located at the Bakrol-vadatal road. Today, there is no awareness in the people as well as engineers & contractors about this kind of concept of LOW COST HOUSING. So, we can hope that this project could be a suggestion for any construction authority or the local contractors. So, that in the time of high land cost as well as costly construction period, a common man can have such this kind of property.
