Keswani, K (1997) The contribution of building centres to low-cost housing in India. Building Research & Information, 25(1), pp. 50-64. ISSN 0961-3218
Abstract
The author argues that the government's role could change from being the provider to becoming a facilitator. Progress in the Building Centre Programme in India has been slow and a three pronged policy is advocated - examining archaic rules, disseminating technical information, and training in updated technologies whilst continuing with those technologies that are cost-effective.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
