  1. Small housing industry is all time necessity , small dwellings are required to start a family unit, but its very unfortunate that houses are going costly day by day.Private societies have been substitute for housing needs but now they are main cause of making them costly, developers/builders/propertieay are selling poorly developed lands on premium costs. A small plot is selling at 80 lac (8M), then in societies due to poor, non-engineered fills, there is huge cost of foundation stabilization, around 3M to 4M, after heavy foundation expenses there are chances that foundation might settle or deform, in some cases fills are more than 40ft, and consolidation takes too much time, water ingress is another issue. Foundation engineers need to come forward and tackle this problem, this is a practical problem and could benefit a lot of people, universities can develop a collaboration and can come up with some good solution in few years. Till now this problem is tackled by structural engineers (talking of my area, other areas might have better solutions already), and they are adding structural piles underneath foundations, piled raft, but problem is on geotechnical side so its geotechnical solution is required that should be affordable, structural solution is not affordable. Structurally lighter materials can assist to decrease stress on subsoils. On fills lights weight concrete or LGS or SCIP or modular houses shall be constructed. But for this people shall develop taste for new materials and alternatives.A family constructs house from their hard earn money, this should not be that difficult and costly. Future development should be improved, though there are no chances, developers/propertieay just need money, they leave ethics aside.People themselves shall ask for soil condition before buying plots, its not wise to buy a sick horse and then spend money on its health, i have observed propertieay (this is my term for property dealer) who jump on the filled areas and say see how hard is the land. Ethics? they dont bother. No Govt., society or anyone shall come to our help we shall stand for ourselves.Thank You
