This graph enables the user to determine the maximum area of construction available total for a set house cost in accordance with the different technological possibilities available.
The graph as well as the computerized system can be read by both entries.

Entries
Y axis: M2 of construction
X axis: Dwelling cost

Variables
- Low-cost systems using local materials (timber, earth, bamboo)
We have two options: pure self-help (costs without labour) and costs including labour.
- Low cost systems (brick, concrete)
Low cost systems using conventional materials and minimal finishes
- Residential systems
Systems using conventional materials/processes and medium to high quality finishes.
