Bamboo spells promise for the housing sector
An agency under the Department of Science and Technology is working on a low-cost do-it-yourself (DIY) bamboo shelter intended to make housing more accessible to the public, particularly the poor.
The DIY bamboo shelter, designed by the Forest Products Research and Development Institute (FPRDI), is envisioned as a ready-to-assemble house. Using simple tools, it is intended to be built within 1-2 days following an instruction manual.
