Alternate building technologies (ABTs) are an essential component of achieving safe, climate-resilient affordable housing.

 

This practice brief examines the nature of ABTs, identifies barriers to their broader uptake, particularly for affordable housing and self-build construction. It also summarises a set of proposed criteria to guide the incentivisation, development and uptake of ABTs that enable climate-resilient, labour intensive, affordable housing construction.
