The result indicated a very high significance for the economic of sustainable housing delivery having (RII= 0.93) and viewed it as a laudable concept, the effectiveness of sustainable housing delivery components has land acquisition with a very high significance (RII= 0.93) while for the efficiency of its inputs labour has a very high significance of (RII= 0.92). Finally for affordability of sustainable housing delivery in Abuja, land acquisition has a very high significance of (RII= 0.97) been a factor that can militate against sustainable housing affordability. The research concludes that land acquisition, sources of finance and government policies are key factors leading to unsustainable delivery of sustainable housing delivery.
