Workforce Accommodation

When the camp has to be standing before the crew arrives, the only specification that matters is how many square metres arrive per container.

The brief

Remote projects fail on logistics before they fail on anything else. Every cubic metre you ship is a cost, and every day of on-site assembly is a day the crew is not productive. That makes prefabricated accommodation a volume problem, not a construction problem.

The foldable and flat-pack range is engineered around that: panels nest flat, units stack two or three high without a separate steel frame, and assembly is bolt-together with hand tools. Nothing is welded on site because nothing needs to be.

We quote the camp as a package — accommodation, ablution blocks, mess and office modules — with a loading plan so you know exactly how many containers you are paying for.

Questions

The ones that come up

How many units fit in a container?

It depends on the model — this is exactly why the foldable range exists. Send us the model and quantity and we will give you the exact loading plan, because shipping volume is usually the largest single line in the landed cost.

Can the camp be moved to the next project?

Yes. Bolt-together modules are designed to be struck and re-erected. Tell us at order stage if relocation is likely and we will specify the frame and fixings for repeated assembly.

Do you supply the services infrastructure?

We can supply water tanks, effluent treatment, power distribution and generators as part of the package, or you can procure them locally. Most customers split it — structures from us, electrical gear locally to their own standard.

What is the lead time on a 40-unit camp?

Production runs in phases. A first tranche of 8–12 units typically ships in 25–35 days, with the remainder following in further batches. We will give you a phased schedule with the quotation.
