Questions 5 and 6
Every time that we speak of Predominant Material you should understand it to be the material that is found in the greatest proportion of the floors, exterior walls and exterior covering of the roof of the dwelling. If there are two types of materials in the same proportion, you should register the one that is of the better quality.
Remember that you should only mark one option.
Construction materials of the floors, walls, and roofs of the dwelling
Predominant material: element used in the construction of the floors, exterior walls and exterior coverings of the roof of the dwelling. The reference to "predominant" corresponds to the material that is found in the greatest proportion; if there are two types of materials with the same proportion, you will consider the one of the better quality.
Exterior covering of the roof: material of the roof that is observed from the outside of the dwelling. In apartments located in vertical constructions, the exterior covering of the roof is that of the last floor of the building.
