Abstract
Providing housing to the general population at an affordable cost is a colossal task facing governments in developing countries. Through the adoption of semi-prefabrication techniques, concrete construction is re-appraised for enhanced quality, economy and speed. This study involved identification of areas of optimization, design and analysis of model buildings. Outcomes indicate that semi-prefabrication concrete techniques are appropriate for achieving quality, economy and speed of construction.
