dc.description.abstract This paper was motivated by the need to identify trends in building materials research development and application that will significantly reduce building costs, life cycle costs and minimise the lead time for building delivery in South Africa whose low income urban housing backlog now stands at 2.2 million units. The paper reviews objectives, developments and impacts on cost and delivery lead time of building materials research and development programs globally and in South Africa. Comparisons are drawn between the global and South African scenarios. en_US
