Abstract

The increasing demand for affordable housing in developing countries such as India which mainly uses traditional construction technologies begs the need of technologies that are efficient, low cost, and at the same time high quality. Technologies used by developed nations can meet that need if the transfer could be accomplished efficiently. The purpose of this research is to present findings of a survey and follow-up interviews of senior managers from UK and India to explore the drivers and challenges to facilitate technology transfer in offsite construction between the two countries.
