This is typical to case studies. To improve the reliability of the research, the interviews are recorded and transcribed.
 
Originality and value

Many researchers are engaged in real estate research with regard to urban planning and sustainability, building new residential houses in ecological neighourhoods (RICS, 2019). This focus is relatively new and therefore has added value, especially for the strategy of the Real Estate Industry (Portilla, 2019).
