Disaster Recovery: DIY Home Building (semester?), IPRO 324: DIY Home Building IPRO 324 IPRO Day Presentation Sp07 Chacko, Serena Dakowisz, Dukasz Diaz De Leon Orraca, Federico Dilger, Andrew Dolejs, Martina Grosse, Christopher Kim, Jung-jae Kirsch, Joseph Navarro, Jonathan Peck, Edward Ray, Monmayuri Rios, Homero Rogers, Eric Rotella, James Thompson, Sean T. Frank Flury Disaster Relief DIY Home Building IPRO 324, Disaster Recovery: Do-It-Yourself Home Building, is focused on designing a building manual to aid disaster victims in building new buildings. The objectives of this group are to continue the efforts made from the previous semester. This includes the creation of a manual illustrating how to build the design, design for handicap accessibility as a provision to the current design, to market this manual to a disaster relief organization that would be responsible for the distribution, to find a new client who would be interested in having this project built, and to find funding in order to build the design. Over the course of this semester, the team will be focusing on creating the manual and attempting to build the design at a site either in New Harmony, Louisana or Gulfport, Mississippi where potential clients are. The house at a bare minimum consists of a multipurpose room, a kitchen, and a bathroom; and will cost approximately $17,000. This is an affordable home/structure considering the cost of building a house now. The team is aware that some families are not fortunate enough to have a savings of $20,000 when these unexpected disasters occur. For this reason, it is an objective of the team to obtain funding.
