Some researchers have reported that the number of disasters is expanding in scale and occurrences. Today, humanity occupies more land than forty years ago. Due to this, existing communities are prone to higher chances of being affected by disasters. Consequently, the number of natural disasters and losses have increased through time. Recent research work indicates that construction of new houses takes the majority of the recovery time. The disaster industry sees housing and shelter as a product. Procurement is done on a necessity basis. The product --tents, shelters, trailers, permanent dwellings, or any property to rent-- has to be ready whenever required. Therefore, after calculating the construction capacity in tornado regions, a methodology is proposed to compare four different robust industrialized building construction alternatives, keeping components, modules, and pieces in stock. Comparing them will provide information about which format is more appropriate for a profitable company or even a public entity, to respond and recover from a disaster faster.
