Site administration buildings are among the most demanding structures on a major construction site. They host the client, the supervision engineer and the contractor's own management team in the same complex, so they need to look professional, work as offices, and still be temporary. This article l...

What was delivered at the Chile project? The project is a camp for a power transmission scheme in the Atacama Desert, Chile, built from 150 modular housing units. It is one of five overseas camp projects in the Wanbang project record, and every figure below is taken from that record. Item Project...

A 40ft expandable container house opens to about 74.8 m² once the two wings are swung out, and that figure decides how many people one unit can hold. Smaller numbers circulate widely in this market, and most of them belong to the 30ft model. The Number That Gets Confused First Three figures are...

Wanbang supplied 200 container houses and 12 toilet houses for a road construction camp in Suriname. The second number is the one that decides whether the camp is usable. Two Numbers, Not One A purchase order for this kind of camp reads like one line: accommodation, 200 units. It is really two lines...

This is a 2023 steel structure building for a mining project in Ecuador, delivered on CIF terms to the destination port. The two photographs below show the same bay at two stages, and between them answer most of what a buyer asks before ordering. Stage one: columns on their base plates, rafters and...

Wanbang supplied eight single-storey mobile houses for a project site in Kenya, with a combined floor area of 1,417.82 m². Every unit carries a double-slope roof, and that one detail says more about the site than the total area does. What the Kenya Record Confirms Four facts are on the record....

This is a 2024 project in Taiwan, China: a capsule house fitted out as a coffee shop. What makes it worth a page is not its size. A café asks things of a prefabricated unit that a dwelling never does, and most of the answers are visible in the photographs. The room as built: one flat ceiling...

The A1 modular hotel unit is a 7.8 m single-room building that leaves the factory with its bathroom, wiring and finishes already installed. This page sets out what the unit actually contains, which hospitality projects it fits, and what has to be settled before you book freight — and decide wh...

Wanbang delivered 541 flat-pack container units to a mining site in Indonesia, used as site offices and worker dormitories. The camp sits in a climate that holds between 25 and 27 °C all year, with humidity of 70 to 90 percent, so every part of the specification had to answer to heat and moistur...

A water treatment plant needed a project office that could receive inspectors, not just shelter staff. The answer was a two-storey modular compound built around a landscaped courtyard. The units are ordinary container modules. What changed is the layout, the circulation route and the planting. What...
