Innovative Use of Local Materials in Building Construction:

In Nigeria, particularly in Northern regions, Guinea corn stocks (locally known as "kara") have shown promising potential in building construction. Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of using kara mats in slab formwork, offering a viable alternative to traditional marine boards and planks.

Major Benefits:

- Cost-effectiveness
- Strength and durability
- Sustainability

Practical Applications:

Our experience with kara mats in floor slab construction has yielded positive results. Further exploration is underway to expand its applications in other construction aspects.

Recommendations:

Building professionals and contractors may find this innovative material useful in their projects. Collaboration and further research can help optimize the use of kara in building construction, promoting sustainable and cost-effective practices.

By embracing local materials and innovative solutions, the construction industry can contribute to Nigeria's economic development and environmental sustainability.
