The booming construction industry in Davao city for years has generated significant increase of construction waste in the city. Current practice in construction prevent materials to be reused and recycled easily. With the introduction of designing for disassembly(DfD) in buildings, the service life of building materials can be extended according to its recovery route. This study applied the concept of DfD in the interior finishes of fast food restaurants in order to facilitate and encourage greater reuse in the future. By using the embodied carbon energy and total weight of each material per restaurant, the researcher was able to compute the recyclability percentage of each recovery route and ranked into either standard, good and best. Based on the computed percentage, the best route recovery for reuse ranges from 94%-100%. The percentage difference between the standard route recovery which is the current practice and best route recovery ranges from 21%-92% of total materials used. Furthermore, a catalogue of materials used for DfD was produced from this study.
