The decision was taken at the 28th All India Builders Convention here that passed a resolution, asking the centre to release its land banks for its 'Housing For All by 2022' project.
On the importance of pre-cast technology and quality, BAI Chief Patron B Seenaiah said all member companies and contractors recommended having a cell to adopt technologies which can enhance quality and reduce construction time cycles.
"Precast technology can significantly reduce the project completion time, contributing directly to monetary savings and faster development," he said.
