Abstract

Prefabrication and modular coordination and cost reduction in housing construction (a case in Addis Ababa condominiums)

Highlights

  • Ethiopia is one of the developing countries and the second most populous country of the African continent

  • The main aim of this study is to investigate the hindrances of Integrated Housing Development Program (IHDP) condominium construction focusing on Cost aspects and demonstrate how prefabrication and dimensional coordination could be used as a tool to reduce cost in Ethiopian housing projects

  • The main reasons are not feeling responsible for the environmental pollution, lack of skill this leads to higher wastage due to trial-and-error work, and dimensional inaccuracies which leads to cutting of HCBs, or provision of in executable designs with odd numbers in dimensioning says Engineer Zewdu, from AAHDPO and Mr Tesfaye Kibru, a contractor in the construction of IHDP condominiums
