1. Walls
The question identifies the predominant basic material used to build the walls of the house.

[Figures are omitted]

Note that waste material comprises pieces of cardboard, rubber, tires, among others. The option "Ceramic partition, brick, cement block, stone, stone veneer, cement, or concrete" includes walls made of prefabricated materials; such are the panels, which are based on cement or concrete.

If the walls are made with two or more different materials, ask for the predominant material; in case you find two or more materials in the same proportion, select the first appearing in the options of response.

In some places, building materials can be called with different names; if you know them, mention those names to support the informant.
