I am looking for alternate construction materials and methods for low cost housing and construction. Also, looking for alternate to steel in reinforced concrete.
Certainly yes, NEST IN by Tata Group & MECON Limited is one such example. We have been continuously working on this to economize different aspects. You can go through one of my article on this, which is readily available here. In fact we have submitted this report to Govt. of India, Ministry of Steel long back. You can remember to listen to the speech that will be delivered by Minister of Steel in the winter session of parliament regarding promotion of usage of steel. This topic will also come up. INSDAG is also working on it.
Bamboos can be used in low cost housing to reinforce the plain concrete roofs, precast panels made from ferrocement could be another alternative
Hello,

precast housing also reduced the cost of construction and it is also much more fast enough to complete the work
