The study found that eleven dynamics were significant to contributing to the widespread deficits, deplorable conditions and inaccessibility of housing units' to people.

The study reflection should greatly assist in depicting better ways of tackling these issues so that reductions in the impact of building materials cost increases on real estate provision as experienced in practice can be sustained within the system. A 'think tank' effort is recommended for relevant stakeholders.
