The need for housing has increased significantly during the last decades. This need is considerable at present in third world and developing countries, where the population has a rate of growth much larger than developed countries. Furthermore the population in the world is shifting to the cities. In the surrounding areas of third world and developing countries is where the need for housing is sometimes critical. In these places there is a need for affordable, housing, for low income groups. The Commission of Prefabrication of fib has been conscious for many years to this problem which becomes vital when natural disasters put in to many of the housing that is at present been built in these areas. Therefore a Group was created to develop a document about Affordable Housing that could be a help to the people for the use of prefabrication techniques in the construction of houses. This article resumes the works that have been developed by this group up to this moment.
