Les termes «maison prête à finir» et «maison inachevée» nous ont été communiqués par la Société centrale d'hypothèques et de logement. (Source indiquée sur leur fiche : La «Maison française», 4-74, p. 64). 1, record 1, French, - maison%20pr%C3%AAte%20%C3%A0%20finir
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
La source LEBAT donne «carré de maison» et le définit ainsi : «Maison inachevée, comprenant la charpente, le revêtement des murs et du toit». Ce terme nous paraît cependant très douteux. 1, record 1, French, - maison%20pr%C3%AAte%20%C3%A0%20finir
