Assessment of vulnerability and habitability in interventions conducted by trained master builders

Construya programme, Peru:

Evaluation of the impact of construction interventions by trained master builders on dwellings in vulnerable urban sectors, covering interventions in 37 cases across 17 districts of Lima.

The study uses a casuistic approach, selecting cases where trained builders from Construya partners were involved.

It includes a comparison between trained and untrained builders, the quality of interventions, and the effect on seismic vulnerability and habitability of housing.

It presents detailed results on various aspects, including the application of good practices in new and existing constructions, the quality of interventions, and the impact on seismic vulnerability.

It discusses how interventions by trained builders have influenced the quality and safety of constructions, highlighting the importance of professional training in improving building standards and reducing vulnerability.
