Greater Use of Innovative Building Materials and Construction Techniques Could Reduce Housing Costs
Problems exist within different levels of government and the homebuilding industry that hinder the development and use of innovations which could check rising costs. For example: builders are reluctant to accept risks associated with using new technology, local building codes are sometimes restrictive and administered inconsistently, and builders lack technical information on innovative technology. GAO makes several recommendations to the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and the President of the National Institute of Building Sciences to encourage the development and use of cost-saving innovations in homebuilding.
