Interviewer instructions
Dwelling building materials
The most important thing is to find out the basic material of the exterior walls of the dwelling, and not the covering.
Definitions
Panels of Covintec
This is a poroplast panel combined with a high-resistance steel mesh and covered with a mix of cement and sand.
Drywall
This is a laminate made from a base of plasterboard.
Concrete and wood (mini-skirted)
This is any dwelling constructed on a base of concrete, stone, quarried stone or mud brick which generally makes up the bottom half of the building, with the top half being made of wood.
Concrete and other materials
This is any dwelling constructed on a base of concrete, quarried stone or mud brick which generally makes up the bottom half of the construction, with the top half being made of zinc, Plycem or any other material except wood.
Question 3. What is the predominant construction material of the exterior walls?
Mark an "X" next to the option stated by the informant.
Keep in mind that if there is more than one material in the walls of the dwelling, you should mark the material that predominates.
