Modern House

Modern houses are built using recent designs, recent materials and recent technology. They are far more attractive and comfortable than primitive houses. Modern houses can often be found in large towns and cities. They are built with cement and concrete. They have glass windows and refined wooden doors (as well as metal doors and gates). The toilets, bathrooms and kitchens are within the houses. Examples of modern houses include the:

a) Bungalow

b) Storey building

c) Duplex

d) Triplex

e) Quadruplex

f) Block of flats

g) Mansion

 

Getting More People To Own Houses

1 Parents and teachers should teach children to learn to save part of their money regularly so that over a period of time, they will have enough money to acquire their own houses.

2 People should make an investigation on how to take advantage of the different housing schemes that the government has set up.

3 Government should establish more housing schemes and operate them in such a way that people can pay in instalments over a period of time.

4 Government and non-governmental organizations should assist rural dwellers in building simple houses.

5 Government should advertise its various housing schemes so that more people will know about them and take advantage of them.

6 Banks and mortgage institutions, that have favourable housing schemes, should advertise their arrangements widely so that people can patronize them. The conditions must not be so harsh as to discourage people from getting loans from them.

7 Government should plan cities, towns and villages properly and provide social amenities everywhere so that people will find almost everywhere desirable to live in. This will make houses cheaper than they are now in the cities.

8 Government should ensure that those who manufacture and sell building materials sell at affordable prices so that more people can buy them.

9 Government should encourage the use of cheaper local Building Materials
