In Colombia, unprocessed natural materials are stone, wood, clay, metal and water which are called raw materials, while products made from them such as plaster, cement, steel, glass and brick are called materials building. Our buildings are built with cement, steel, glass and brick and within these elements there is a list of products imported from different countries depending on their characteristics; For example, granite is imported mostly from the USA and China, iron or steel wires mostly come from Mexico and Uruguay and the largest import of metal fittings comes from China. On the other hand, understanding the benefits of bamboo such as earthquake resistance, durability and economy, this material has been gradually used in construction, especially in rural areas; However, even the ecological construction or sustainable building is in the process of growth.
