Interviewer instructions
This is an attempt to derive the value of the house and should be posed to those Households that own their dwelling.
It should be noted that in the rural areas, it may be unwelcome to ask this question as it is, since in ancestral homes, the issue of selling the dwelling do not even arise. For the purposes of this survey, the cost of construction will be used to derive the value of homes in rural areas.
Confirm from the respondents the cost of (1) Materials, (2) labour and (3) any other inputs
to be sure that the estimated cost of construction is accurate enough.
For dwellings especially in arid and semi arid areas where labour is the component that can be costed, obtain the number of people who can build the house, how long it can take them and use the wage rates in the locality to obtain the labour costs.
