I am an architect and I also build buildings, in this case we see the photograph you can see the use of steel for the conformation of the building structure, this material is 100% imported from Brazil, in my country there is no Steel industry because in first place we do not have the raw material and secondly they are not an industrialized country at the level of others such as Brazil, the import of iron came to determine that in many occasions we had shortages and therefore higher prices of steel, therefore the houses also In the construction price, it has now been normalized. In the equator having possibilities of alternative materials such as the bamboo that is known here as "cane guadua" is not used because of the lack of resources and support for the research and development of new construction technologies.
