Abstract

This chapter delves into the pressing need for affordable housing in South Africa, driven by rapid urbanization and a growing backlog of housing units. It explores how innovative technologies such as 3D printing, modular construction, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) can streamline the delivery process and enhance affordability. The study identifies key challenges in the current housing sector, including delays in development and miscommunication between design and construction teams. It also highlights the potential benefits of adopting these technologies, such as faster project delivery, reduced rework, and improved project monitoring. The research findings indicate a strong belief among professionals that these technologies can significantly impact the affordability and delivery of housing projects. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the importance of integrating these technologies to address the affordable housing crisis in South Africa.
