Spanish term or phrase: Construcción no sólida, de tipo ligera
I'd be very grateful for any help with these terms, particularly from my Chilean colleagues. Two terms really, but I suspect they mean the same

He visitado la Propiedad de la Sra. XXX, correspondiente al sitio Nro. 30 de la Manzana D, ubicado en la Ciudad de ZZZ, Chile XII Región, en calle YYY Nro. 1682, conjunto habitacional, de una superficie de 57.213 mts.2, y constata bajo fe de juramento que en el segundo piso, mansardas, existe una habitación sin ningún tipo de división, no dos dormitorios como indica el plano.

La propiedad tiene recepción definitiva, y equivale en términos de tasación a **construcción no sólida, construcción de tipo ligera,** se adjuntan fotografías del lugar.

I'd need the term in British English, please.

TIA

Non-solid construction, typical timber or steel framing with inserted insulation, Table ... R-values than buildings of non-solid construction, ...

- masonry construction
- underground and foundation engineering
- light construction

Another option would be "non-masonry construction"

Just my 2 cents...

Asker: Thank you, Neil. I put 'light-weight' in the glossary, but had to deliver the translation the previous night.
