Over 100 Surveys, case studies and literature studies were done and it is found that the AECI faces several increasing & complicated construction and non-construction challenges, of all these few are new and rest centuries old. This extensive exploratory research was carried out to explore all the AECI challenges that affect AECI PDLC processes and this research suggests the remedial measures specifically to housing sector, addresses AECI challenges that help to improve productivity and efficiencies in the AECI processes.
