Alternative Building Materials: Theoretical and Conceptual Framework: Alternative Building Materials: Theoretical and Conceptual Framework Towards Their Utilisation in Construction Industry

By Johnson Josiah Marut

The conceptualisation of Alternative Building Materials towards its utilisation in the construction industry is very apt considering the high demand for accommodation in both developed and developing countries of the world and the need for sustainability in terms of building materials supply. The book has adopted three independent but interrelated theories including; stakeholders' theory, knowledge management theory and innovation diffusion theory for the development of conceptual framework towards the integrated utilisation of Alternative Building Materials in the construction industry. The interest of all the stakeholders in the effort towards the utilisation of ABM must be considered and appropriate mechanisms put in place for the integration of all these interests. National and regional institutes can play vital roles in the development of Alternative Building Materials by facilitating knowledge transfer to other stakeholders. Government institutions as well as private educational and research institutes can do this by sharing their experiences with other stakeholders in the construction industry
