Cell number 2: predominant material in the exterior walls
A material is said to be predominant when it is in the greatest proportion in the construction; for example: for a house with exterior walls made partly of rock, but mostly of stick and mud, box number 2, "adobe or stick and mud" is marked.

Box number 1 is marked if any of the following materials, or a combination, are predominant in the construction: bricks, rocks, reinforced concrete, or cinder blocks.

One box should be marked according to the predominant material. Box number 4 should be marked if the material is not found in any of the three previous categories, the name of the material should also be written down; e.g. sticks or boards, leaves, manaca, bamboo, cardboard, etcetera.
