DDA promises to deliver flats on time
The promise of cheaper and quick delivery of housing units by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) under its current housing scheme could be attributed in part to prefabricated technology, commonly referred to as ‘Prefab’.
Over 19,000 housing units are being made by the DDA under the now-open mega-housing scheme using the prefab or off-site technology. Prefabrication involves assembling of columns, beams, slabs, and walls in a factory or another site in a controlled environment, transporting them to construction site, and then assembling them at the site rather than the more conventional practice of transporting the basic materials to the site where all assembly is carried out.
Not only does this help the pace of construction, it also brings down the cost of the final structure and makes it difficult to personalise the structure by making alterations, like it is done in most of the DDA houses.
The DDA has promised that houses will be delivered quickly in order to avoid any kind of problem from the buyers. Hopefully they would stick on with their words later.
