Abstract

Egypt, one of the largest countries in Africa and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, is facing a severe shortage of low-income housing. Despite implementing several housing policies, the deficit continued to grow, especially with the continuous increase in population and other economic and socio-cultural challenges. The rationale behind this research is to propose MMC as a solution to address the shortage of low-income housing as well as the challenges that the Egyptian construction sector is currently facing. A convergent parallel mixed method approach was adopted for data collection and analysis by merging qualitative and quantitative data to provide comprehensive results. From the results, a framework to adopt MMC in social housing projects was established, consisting of seven main pillars that cover the influencing factors on its implementation. The framework was divided into four phases to ensure successful implementation, including the role of the involved stakeholders during each stage.
