Bunk Houses & Worker Housing

Portable Labour Accommodation India

Safe, Comfortable Housing That Keeps Crews on Site

Skilled crews are hard to hire and easy to lose — and nothing drives attrition faster than miserable housing. Porta Cabin Systems builds portable labour accommodation that works as hard as your workforce: insulated bunk houses sleeping 8 to 24 workers per unit, staff quarters with attached bathrooms, and complete accommodation rows with verandahs, lockers, and per-bed charging points. Factory-built, delivered to your site, and housing your crew the same week.

Contractors across India choose our units because they solve three problems at once: workers stay longer, sites pass welfare inspections, and when the project ends, the entire colony moves to the next one.

  • 8 to 24 beds per unit
  • Insulated 50 mm panels
  • Colony in days · Pan-India

Retention, safety, compliance

Why Proper Labour Accommodation Pays for Itself

Lower attrition

Decent housing is the cheapest retention tool on a site — crews stay through the project instead of leaving mid-way for a better camp.

Safer, sharper crews

Rested workers in ventilated, insulated quarters are measurably more productive and have fewer accidents than crews sleeping in tin sheds.

Compliance covered

Labour welfare norms expect adequate, safe worker housing — purpose-built accommodation keeps your site inspection-ready.

One purchase, many projects

Unlike brick hutments built and demolished at every site, these units redeploy project after project — the cost amortizes across years.

Built for Indian summers

Insulated panels cut interior temperatures dramatically versus tin sheds — the difference between rest and heat exhaustion in summer.

Electrical safety first

Fire-conscious wiring, MCB protection, and extinguisher points address the biggest risk in dense worker housing.

Bunks to full colonies

Accommodation Units We Build

Site-colony standard

20ft Bunk House (8 workers)

A 20ft x 8ft insulated unit with four double bunks, lockers, fans, lights, and charging points — the standard building block of a site colony. Container-based or panel-built.

Best beds-per-rupee

40ft Bunk House (16 – 24 workers)

Double the footprint with 8 – 12 bunks, twin entry doors, and cross-ventilation — the most economical beds-per-rupee configuration for large crews.

10–40 beds

Panel-Built Dormitory Blocks

Custom-size dormitories in any length — 10, 20, or 40 beds per hall with partition options — assembled on site where trailer access is limited. Ideal for long-duration projects.

Attached bathrooms

Staff & Supervisor Quarters

2 – 4 person rooms with attached bathrooms, wardrobes, and AC provision for engineers, supervisors, and visiting staff — a step up in privacy and comfort.

Full colony

Complete Accommodation Rows

Bunk houses arranged in rows with covered verandahs, drying lines, and shared washroom blocks — plus mess halls, kitchens, and recreation rooms to complete the colony.
