ABSTRACT
The significance of housing in mankind’s history cannot be overstressed. However, many Nigerian cannot afford to own a building due to the high cost of building materials. Given the gaps, crises arising from the shortage of low-cost housing necessitate a sustainable solution using innovation and technology that is capable of fostering housing delivery. Due to high the funding cost of capital projects in Nigeria and the instability of crude prices rise in the international market, the construction industry is in a tight spot to develop a cost-effective system of producing low-cost houses. It is in line with the above statement that this research was carried out to investigate the application of dry construction techniques in providing low-cost housing for Nigerians. A quantitative approach was adopted that provided a wider understanding of the research based on the researcher’s capability. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences was used to obtain the descriptive and inference statistical analysis. Conclusively, the research results indicated that the dry construction technique offered an outstanding opportunity to the Nigerian government, citizens and the Primary Mortgage Institutions (PMIs) for the assurance of the prompt provision of low-cost housing by dropping the construction time to 70% upturning the rn housing supply. Therefore, the government should look into the sustainability and socio-economic insinuation for the provision of low-cost housing in a supportive approach while stakeholders in the construction industry should consider der provider approach in bridging the housing deficit in Nigeria.
