SWOT ANALYSI

S.

DEMERITS

there are no boundary , or fencing provided – no safety

no allotted parking spaces

scarcity of water – summers

Self depended Good amount of area around every

housing unit (set back, courtyard in between)

Using low cost materials ( which were available locally)

Filler slab ( aesthetic quality , decreases weight of slab)

Schools , commercial , mosque, all available with in the locality

Even though there are 20 houses in each unit , each house has a good amount of lighting and ventilation

The houses in ground floors are provided with outdoor area, and the people living on the first floor are provided with terraces

Insurance – natural disaster
