Abstract

This chapter investigates the pivotal role of sustainable residential construction in reducing environmental impacts, promoting economic viability, and contributing to societal wellbeing. The authors extensively explore the importance of sustainable residential construction in Nigeria, considering its rapid urbanisation, housing deficits, and the necessity for sustainable building techniques. Additionally, the chapter identifies barriers to sustainable residential construction in Nigeria, employing theoretical frameworks like Institutional Theory, Diffusion of Innovation Theory, Stakeholder Theory, and Resource Dependence Theory. Strategies to overcome the identified barriers are also highlighted in this study. Ultimately, the chapter concludes by advocating for a paradigm shift towards long-term sustainability, emphasising collaboration, innovation, and education to ensure Nigeria’s role as a prominent advocate for sustainable construction practices.
