4.1 Conclusions

- The production of FCR is a sound technique and much practical experience is available.

- Failures are identified and are usually due to production errors.

-Tilemaking can tee started in most places with fair chance of success, if professional training is provided and if the appropriate method is chosen.

- Also the production of sheets is possible but much attention has to be given to the roof structure.

- A lot of experimentation has been done and documented and future experiments should take into account the history and state-of-the-art and not simply be in the spirit of “Appropriate Technology Enthusiasm”.
