5 great things about this environment-friendly building practice

Pulse provides five reasons why the Nigerian real estate sector needs to adopt alternative building technology.

Recently, the former Director General of the Subsidy Re-investment and Empowerment Programme, SURE-P in Niger State, Alhaji Hassan Nuhu, suggested a solution to Nigeria's housing deficit.

"This is an amazing technology that can be used to address the problem associated with housing deficits in the state", he said.

I think he is right because alternative technology has so many advantages.

  • It is cheaper.
  • It lasts longer and provides for sustainable buildings.
  • Provides for a better finish.
  • It takes less to maintain.
  • Minimum waste.

Another great thing about this technology is the fact that anything can be used to construct buildings.

Alternative building materials include shipping containers, cans, recycled items, sun-dried bricks, more.
