186. Columns H01 to H19 relate to specific questions concerning the household. They are questions that relate to the household as a whole and not to individual members.
Columns H06 to H08 -- Major materials of construction of dwelling units.
193. You are required to record answers to H06 to H08 by observation. For example, having observed that the dwelling unit has zinc as the material of construction of the roof, cement as the material of construction of the wall and floor, there is absolutely no reason asking the respondents questions relating to them. Only ask them in circumstances where you are not sure which material of construction the house is made of. Ask for major material of construction in order to capture structures that are made of mud but plastered with cement.
194. Record the answer to each of the columns i.e. columns H06 for roof, H07 for wall and H08 for floor.
