For Rajkot, light houses will be built using French technology and have monolithic concrete construction technology using tunnel and the house will be more capable of withstanding disasters.

However, in Chennai US and Finland technologies will use the Precast Concrete system, which will construct the house faster and cheaper. While for Ranchi, houses will be built using Germany's 3D construction system. Under this, each room will be made separately and then the entire structure will be added in the same way as Lego Blocks toys.

In similar way, houses are being built in Agartala with the steel frames using New Zealand's technology which can withstand major earthquake risk.
