Printable houses are new and innovative method for the construction of small and one floor structures. The
method is impressive but since it cannot be implemented for the vertical construction, utilization of the technique
is limited. However, usually one floor shelters are constructed for the solution of temporary accommodation
problem during the disaster management. In this study, economic and technical feasibility of construction of
temporary houses for the disaster management are conducted. Economic feasibility is performed by comparing
the cost of construction of printable house by the costs of prefabricated houses and masonry houses. The
comparison is made by considering a 42 m2 typical temporary house. The cost of printable house is the cheapest
since the prefabricated house is made of mainly aluminum and steel which are expensive materials. In addition
to this, masonry house has cheap material cost but high labor cost. Both material and labor costs of the printable
house are low. Technical feasibility analysis of the construction of temporary houses is executed in terms of
requirement of construction equipment and transportation demand. Prefabricated houses require the most
amounts of transportation and handling equipment while their construction requires the least amount of
construction machine. Printable houses require moderate transportation and construction machine. However,
printing is an expensive but fast construction method to fulfill the immediate accommodation demand. Therefore
printable concrete should be preferred if the construction is urgent.
