Housing is a major concern for all people in every corner of the world as the wellbeing of a country is reflected in its people enjoying a certain standard of living. Among the indicators of wellbeing is housing which provides shelter as well as being a major potential for expanding the construction industry, generating jobs and contributing to capital formation. The construction industry including housing contributed about 3.4% of Gross Domestic Product of Malaysia for the year 20001. In the present context, housing in Malaysia is developing in line with the goals of Habitat Agenda as well as the principles of Agenda 2.1 which is a blueprint for sustainable development in the 21st Century adopted by 179 nations including Malaysia in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992. Sustainable development is something which must improve the quality of life, improve the living and working environment of all people, provide adequate shelter for all, create sustainable energy, transport and construction activities and stimulate human resource development and capacity-building required to achieve these goals.
