Explaining the lower usage rate of indigenous construction materials in Ghanaian public buildings using bounded rationality

Judicious use of Indigenous Construction Materials (ICM) contributes to sustainability a local construction industry. Why has the ICMs not contributed Ghanaian Industry (GCI), and how can engender GCI that similar developing countries? This paper uses bounded rationality mixed-method strategy explain ICM usage rate in GCI, describes measures for improving industry through use. Relatively high cost non-availability alternatives have been found as factors largely responsible constrained usage. is one first draw on synergy theory empirical findings give advanced insight into constraining ICMs, well provide measured building materials using real projects cases. The research carved path nurturing sustainable countries indigenous resources.
