The surveying tool was developed and given to building experts who are members of several professional organisations in the construction industry. The study was carried out on all of the people in north-central Nigeria. the green materials that are available The surveying instrument was created and supplied to building professionals who are members of several professional groups in the construction industry.

The north-central sector is characterised by There were 400 questionnaires distributed. 350 completed surveys were used in the data analysis. Using the Analysis of Moments (AMOS) software and the structural equation model, the study was analysed and a model was produced (SEM).

As a result of the utilisation and use of green materials in building construction, low-cost dwelling units would arise.
