The Philippines has experienced several tropical cyclones over the years.The most destructive disaster recorded in Philippine history was Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) in 2013, affecting 14 million people and deaths of at least 6,000.The number of internally displaced persons (IDP) has increased because of disasters from natural hazards.One of the challenges that people face during these times is the lack of durable and easy-to-build housing.As part of the disaster rehabilitation and recovery plan, a safe and durable house to protect people from the aggressive environment and ensure privacy to cope with emotional and mental health problems is essential in a disaster-prone country like the Philippines.Towards this end, the Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) methodology was explored using sustainable materials like steel -cold-formed steel as the main structural components and screw piles for the foundation, of a previously designed shelter for the IDPs of Typhoon Yolanda.The application of the proposed scheme has shown a slight effect on project completion time but a significant benefit in terms of cost efficiency.
