Local building materials and traditional building materials differ in the sense that whereas local building materials are those that naturally occur on a building site or its vicinity[1], traditional building materials are those local building materials that a culture/ society has adopted to use in its architecture, with norms and values attached to the different elements as is in the case of African traditional architecture.

It's therefore true to add that a material can be local, but not traditional.
