1. Bottlenecks of Traditional On-Site Worker Dormitories

Traditional temporary worker dormitories have long been constrained by backward construction modes and outdated design concepts, resulting in prominent deficiencies in construction efficiency, structural safety, living experience, and resource utilization. These bottlenecks seriously restrict the standardized management and efficient operation of modern engineering projects.

1.1 Low Construction Efficiency Restricts Project Progress

Most traditional temporary dormitories adopt on-site manual welding and wet construction modes, involving multiple complex processes such as foundation leveling, concrete pouring, steel frame welding, wall assembly, and interior decoration. The entire construction cycle usually lasts two to four weeks, and the progress is easily affected by bad weather, site conditions, and manual proficiency. For time-sensitive infrastructure projects and urgent emergency construction tasks, slow dormitory deployment leads to delayed worker settlement, insufficient manpower deployment, and postponed project commencement, forming a serious constraint on overall construction progress. Unlike modern prefabricated products, traditional dormitories cannot realize batch rapid production and centralized deployment, resulting in extremely low housing supply efficiency for large-scale worker teams.

1.2 Unstandardized Structure Brings Hidden Safety Hazards

To control short-term costs, most traditional temporary dormitories adopt inferior thin steel plates and unqualified auxiliary materials, lacking standardized structural design and professional safety verification. The overall frame has low rigidity, poor wind resistance, seismic resistance, and snow load capacity, and is prone to deformation, collapse, and water leakage under extreme weather conditions such as strong winds, heavy rain, and blizzards. In addition, on-site random wiring, irregular pipeline layout, and non-standard fire protection design lead to frequent hidden dangers of electric leakage and fire, threatening the personal safety and property security of on-site workers. The unstandardized construction process also makes it impossible to form unified safety assessment standards, bringing great difficulties to site safety management.

1.3 Poor Living Conditions Lead to Workforce Instability

Traditional makeshift dormitories have unreasonable spatial layout, cramped indoor space, and single functional configuration. Lacking professional thermal insulation, sound insulation, and ventilation systems, the rooms are stuffy in summer, cold and airtight in winter, and prone to dampness and mildew in rainy seasons. The poor living environment makes it difficult for workers to get effective rest after high-intensity construction work, resulting in low work enthusiasm and high workforce turnover. In modern engineering management, worker welfare and living quality have become important indicators of civilized construction and enterprise image. The backward accommodation conditions of traditional dormitories not only affect team stability but also restrict the standardized upgrading of enterprise project management.

1.4 Disposable Design Causes High Comprehensive Costs

Traditional on-site dormitories mostly adopt fixed welded structures without disassembly and reuse value. After the completion of a single project, the temporary housing can only be demolished and discarded, producing a large amount of construction waste and causing serious resource waste. Engineering enterprises undertaking multi-site cross-regional projects need to repeatedly invest in dormitory construction, resulting in high long-term operational costs. Meanwhile, traditional dormitories have poor durability, requiring frequent maintenance, rust removal, and component replacement during use, and the continuous hidden maintenance expenditure further increases the comprehensive housing cost of projects.
