Alvaro Espinoza’s opinion: Seven out of every 10 homes in the national urban area are self-built
“It is construction without plans, on the fly, without respecting standards and structural safety. The people who build just repeat what was done in a previous work. There are houses that use even more material than they need because there are no correct calculations either.”
Our Adjunct Researcher Alvaro Espinoza shared his opinion in a story by El Comercio on the findings of the study “Quantification and characterization of self-construction in Peru”, conducted by GRADE on behalf of the Association of Real Estate Developers (ADI).
