This article examines the process of incremental construction and proposes an alternation of two phases: the basic house design and its customization. When designing houses, government officials and architects should follow three sub-phases: developing the design of the house with households, presenting the final design to households, and supporting families’ habitation of the basic house. For the customization process, the professionals should pursue the three sub-phases guideline: inform households about building skills required for customization, discuss the different possibilities for completing the houses, and connect all this with households’ financial resources. The outcome is a template for self-building that synthesizes collecting data about the issues during customization for future incremental housing projects. This article is based on fieldwork analyzing “Las Higueras” (2006) incremental housing project in the Santiago Metropolitan Region, assessing the families’ capabilities to subsequently customize their houses, and using qualitative research methods in collaboration with Las Higueras, the Chilean Ministry of Housing and Urban Design, and Gubbins architecture studio. La vivienda incremental, respaldada por fondos gubernamentales, denota una solución para que hogares con bajos ingresos puedan construir su vivienda gradualmente. El artículo examina el proceso de construcción incremental y sugiere la alternancia de dos fases: una de diseño y otra de personalización de la vivienda base. Para el diseño de éstas, los agentes gubernamentales y los arquitectos deben seguir tres subfases: desarrollar el diseño de la vivienda base juntamente con las familias, presentar el proyecto final de la vivienda base y apoyar la vivienda base una vez habitada. Para la personalización de las viviendas, los profesionales deben seguir una directriz con tres subfases: informar a las unidades familiares sobre los conocimientos de construcción requeridos para personalizar su vivienda, discutir las distintas posibilidades de completar las viviendas y conectarlo con sus recursos financieros; el resultado es una guía para la autoconstrucción de futuros proyectos. Este artículo se basa en un trabajo de campo, analizando el proyecto de vivienda incremental “Las Higueras” (2006) en la Región Metropolitana de Santiago, Chile, averiguando las capacidades de las familias para personalizar sus viviendas posteriormente, utilizando métodos de investigación cualitativa en colaboración con Las Higueras, el Ministerio de Vivienda y Urbanismo de Chile y el estudio de arquitectura Gubbins.
