How a European Client Delivered 500-Person Dormitories in Just One Week with Assemble Container Houses

Client Background

In early 2024, a European construction contractor approached E-TOM. They were executing a large infrastructure project and needed temporary accommodation for over 500 workers. Traditional brick-and-mortar buildings would take too long, and renting local dormitories was expensive. They needed a fast, cost-effective, and movable housing solution.


Challenges

The client’s main requirements included:

  • Tight schedule: Delivery within 7 days.

  • Large capacity: Accommodate at least 500 people.

  • Structural safety: Comply with European building and fire safety standards.

  • Mobility: The dormitories needed to be relocatable after the project.


E-TOM Solution

E-TOM recommended two-story Assemble Container Houses with modular dormitory units, using galvanized steel structures and pre-fabricated panels:

  • Quick installation: Modules prefabricated in the factory, assembled on-site.

  • Functional zoning: Sleeping areas, bathrooms, showers, and common rooms integrated.

  • Energy-efficient and environmentally friendly: Insulated walls and energy-saving air conditioning.

  • Flexible combination: Modules stacked in two layers to save space and allow future reconfiguration.

All 500-person dormitories were fully installed within just  2 days.


Delivery Outcomes

  • Time-saving: Completed at least 2 months faster than traditional construction.

  • Cost-effective: Total budget reduced by approximately 35%.

  • Worker satisfaction: Comfortable living environment improved efficiency.

  • Sustainability: The dormitories can be disassembled and reused at the next construction site.

Client feedback:

“E-TOM’s Assemble Container Houses provided the perfect solution. Fast, high-quality, and reusable — it saved us a lot of costs.”


Key Takeaway

For any project requiring quickly delivered large-scale accommodation, modular prefab dormitories are the ideal choice.
Whether it’s a construction site, government project, or large event, E-TOM’s quick installation housing can meet the demand in a very short time.
