K Type Worker Camp in Zhuhai: Housing for 1,000 Workers

Worker camp Zhuhai: a new development zone in Zhuhai needed housing for the workers building a nearby commercial center and office buildings. E-TOM Housing supplied a complete project camp made entirely of K Type prefab houses: nine buildings designed for 1,000 people. The main structure was installed in 10 days, and the camp is now about 90% complete.

What the camp includes

Every building on this site is a K Type house. Together they cover the four things a large workforce needs every day:

Worker dormitories for sleeping and rest
A kitchen for on-site meals
Shower rooms for washing after work
Toilets for the whole camp

Each dormitory building has 20 rooms, and each room sleeps 8 workers. Using one house type for all four functions keeps planning simple and installation fast.

What to plan before ordering a worker camp

If you are planning a camp like this one, settle these points first:

Headcount: the number of workers on site at peak, not the average.
Room layout: how many people share a room, and how rooms are grouped into buildings.
Catering: where meals are prepared and where workers eat.
Washing and sanitation: enough shower rooms and toilets for the whole camp.
Site conditions: delivery access, ground preparation, power and water connections.
Schedule: when the first workers move in and when the project ends.

A clear answer to each point makes the layout and the quote much faster to prepare.

Why this project matters for buyers

A camp for 1,000 workers is a different job from a few site offices. Sleeping space, catering, washing and sanitation all have to work together from the first day. If you are planning something similar, the IFC and EBRD publication on workers’ accommodation is a useful planning reference.For a smaller camp, see the workforce camp we supplied in Zhongshan, or browse our other worker accommodation projects.
