Abstract

The provision of housing plays a significant role in the wellbeing of human, because it is the only place where people can fall back to relaxed and re-calibrated to put body and soul together. Thus, this paper been part of the larger study on the economic viability of green materials, is on merits and challenges of green materials as an alternative material to provide housing for the low-income earners at affordable price in the developing countries such as Nigeria. The approach used to carry out the research is gathering information through the primary and secondary source. Four hundred structured questioners were design and administered to the experts in the building industry out which 305 were considered usable after the data screening on the subject matter. The analysis was carried with statistical package for social science (SPSS) 23 software, the results from the response received reveal that relevant green materials has the following advantages affordability, renewability and naturality, free from volatile organic compound, durability among others. On the other it has hitches of human neglect, lack of information, socio economic influence, and climate and whether influence among others.
