Lida Group is a construction and real estate development company based in Shandong, China. Every year, thousands of migrant workers flock to Shandong in search of opportunities in the booming construction industry. However, affordable housing for these workers remains a challenge. To solve this issue, Lida Group designed and built a sandwich panel prefabricated dormitory that can easily be dismantled to follow construction projects.

The Lida Group Dismantled Labor Dormitory uses sandwich panel construction technology to provide a fast, cost-effective solution for temporary worker housing. The panels consist of two metal sheets bonded to a core of insulating material. The panels are prefabricated offsite and simply bolted together on location. This allows the dormitory to be assembled rapidly without extensive skilled labor. The structure can also be disassembled in sections and reused at a new site.

The dormitory use 40-foot panel sections that house 4 to 6 migrant workers per room. Basic amenities include bunk beds, tables, chairs, fans and storage lockers. Shared areas provide washing machines, outdoor cooking facilities, and toilets. The entire dormitory can accommodate up to 200 workers.

When Lida Group begins construction on a new project, they transport the dismantled panel sections and reassemble the dormitory near the construction site. This allows workers to remain with Lida Group and significantly reduces commute times. After the project is complete, the dormitory is taken down and reused again.

The sandwich panel construction method allows the dormitory to be built and reused for just a fraction of the cost of traditional dormitory buildings. For Lida Group, the dormitory provides essential housing for migrant workers, reducing employee turnover and increasing productivity. Contractors appreciate that the temporary nature of the dormitory does not compete with permanent housing in the area.

For migrant workers, the Lida Group Dismantled Labor Dormitory offers an affordable option when alternatives are difficult to find. Though basic, the rooms provide shelter, storage, and shared facilities that improve living conditions. The ability to easily move with Lida Group projects helps migrant workers follow job opportunities and increase earnings.

At a time when Shenzhen is rapidly urbanizing, Lida Group’s sandwich panel prefabricated dormitory fills an immediate need while avoiding more permanent development. Using modular construction methods, hundreds of migrant workers have found housing through Lida Group’s innovative solution. As Shenzhen’s construction industry continues to expand, sandwich panel dormitories like Lida Group’s represent an sustainable approach for responsible contractors focused on improving living conditions for migrant workers.

In summary, the Lida Group Dismantled Labor Dormitory illustrates how prefabricated sandwich panel technology can help solve housing challenges for marginalized groups. By adapting construction methods to the temporary nature of migrant work, Lida Group has been able to provide critical shelter that also balances the needs of the local community. With further innovation in affordable modular construction, sandwich panel dormitories and prefabricated housing represent an scalable solution for improving quality of life for migrant workers across China.
