Affordable housing is a term used to describe dwelling units whose total housing costs are deemed “Affordable” to a group of people within a specified income range. In a building the foundation, walls, doors and windows, floors, and roofs are the most important components, which can be analyzed individually based on the needs thus, improving the speed of construction and reducing the construction cost. Based on the criteria of design competition jointly organized by the Department of Technical Education, Government of U.P. and Department of Civil Engineering, Harcourt Butler Technological Institute, Kanpur. We have attempted to design a low-cost housing building using an innovative construction technique called RAMMED EARTH. This documents the construction of a rural house, using the rammed earth construction technique. It details our participatory approach and provides technical information about our techniques and the associated costs. We aim to do this through promoting improved and appropriate house building techniques – using cheap, locally available materials, and environmental initiatives such as tree planting.
