The increasing frequency of urgent projects, driven by both natural disasters and aging infrastructure, demands a global shift towards enhanced preparedness to build resilience to align with principles of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In the context of post-disaster housing in Indonesia, this requires a paradigm shift from a reactive, crisis-driven approach to a proactive one. This transition is supported by converging trends in disaster management, construction, and public procurement, which all show a move towards greater flexibility, collaboration, and proactive planning.

This research addresses the challenge of project delivery delays by developing and evaluating a procurement strategy to accelerate reconstruction. The study employs a three-phase Design-Based Research (DBR) methodology, combining literature synthesis, a comparative analysis of three case studies, and stakeholder interviews. In the first phase, Analysis & Exploration, a novel preparedness framework was developed from literature, identifying seven aspects: Community Involvement, Knowledge, Industrial Resources, Land Planning, Regulations, Funding, and Projects & Programmes. Analysis of current practices revealed a missed opportunity in project governance, where operational capacity is not fully translated into efficient and timely project outcomes, slowing down the overall recovery process. This issue is then addressed in the second phase, Design & Construction, by designing a new procurement strategy. This strategy is centered on a pre-disaster Framework Agreement that integrates design-build delivery with the pre-stocking of modular components (RISHA). In the third phase, Evaluation & Reflection, this strategy was validated and refined through stakeholder interviews.

Utilizing the framework as the assessment tool, the study concludes that a collaborative, customized framework-based procurement strategy provides a tangible mechanism to improve preparedness by shifting institutions from a reactive to a proactive stance. This research contributes to the scientific discourse by providing a practical bridge between high-level international frameworks and the realities of project delivery. For future work, it is recommended to pursue integrated governance reform, particularly establishing national land banks and ex-ante disaster financing, and to pilot the proposed strategy in diverse contexts to further refine its application.
