“…Owing to the budget limitations shown in both case-studies, increasing the budget is difficult but choosing a cost-effective technology would be more feasible. If used drywall technologies, it could be acquired at least a 12% cost reduction (Sabau et al , 2018), which represents the cost of three additional houses for each case-study.…”

“…When the government is funding, the budget becomes restrictive to reduce the social cost and the burden on public finance (Dikmen, 2010). Sabau et al (2018) argued that it is more economical to construct a building with drywall technologies based on cost analysis concerning the context of Colombia, which determines the reduction of the cost being 12% in comparison to masonry walls. The cost of any drywall material is relatively low for transportation, storage and handling due to its lightweight (Chang-Richards et al , 2013).…”

“…Although developed countries exploit the use of different drywall technologies for residential construction as well as for DHR, developing countries such as Sri Lanka are still into inculcated wet wall technologies (Sabau et al, 2018). Owing to the lack of research on the applicability of drywall technologies for DHR in Sri Lanka, it requires fresh scientific insights over the enablers, barriers and way-forward with special reference to the iron-triangle performance axes.…”

Purpose The sluggish progression of disaster-induced housing reconstruction (DHR) in Sri Lanka provoked the assessment of drywall technologies as a mode of improving efficiency. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the applicability of drywall technologies to adopt a technical solution to DHR. Design/methodology/approach The research contextualized a mixed research design via a case-study strategy integrating semi-structured interviews, documentary reviews and observations. Two cases based on the 2016 Samasarakanda landslide were investigated. Within-case-analysis and cross-case-analysis were performed to derive conclusions. Findings Enablers for drywall technologies application are time saving, cost-saving, less water consumption and logistical easiness. Less strength of drywall technologies will not be a critical obstruction owing to the expected disaster resilience from the concrete frame and the subsequent requirement of non-load bearing walls for landslide DHR. Labor source, community acceptance, durability are potential settings of barriers. Observing model houses, researching the resistance of drywall technologies to landslide-induced vibrations and impulsive waves are some further research areas discovered. Research limitations/implications Empirical findings are centered on the 2016 Samasarakanda DHR. Practical implications Because of many issues in updating guidelines, drawings and BOQs, a protocol should be gazetted in the parliament to improve its updating flexibility allowing provisions to apply novel technologies for DHR. Originality/value Being one of the very first of this kind of research, contextually, the research is original. This study provokes insightful investigation of drywall technologies for DHR beyond its overlooked properties. This study reveals many wall construction challenges of the 2016 Samasarakanda DHR which have not yet been explored in research.
