Interviewer instructions

Information on the 'period since built' will be collected only from the sample households with own dwelling, i.e., if entry in item 11 of block 3 is either 1 or 2. Period since built will be counted from the time the dwelling unit was ready for possession for the first time after completion of the building and this information will be entered in terms of codes. Note that period since built is to be decided in respect of the ground floor of the building when the different stories were built at different times.
