Modular Workers Accommodation for Mining and Agricultural Sites

Mining, agriculture, infrastructure, and construction sectors all need workers accommodation that can be deployed fast, used hard, and either kept or relocated when the project changes. Modular construction has been the standard for this segment for decades, and Hi-Tech has supplied accommodation across NSW resource sectors for 30+ years. Here is what to know for 2026.

Use Cases

• Mining camps (FIFO and DIDO arrangements)
• Agricultural worker housing (seasonal pickers, processing staff)
• Infrastructure project camps (roads, rail, dams)
• Construction site accommodation
• Remote operations support staff
• Emergency response accommodation

Configuration Options

Single dongas

Single-room sleeping units with shared bathroom blocks. Most affordable per-unit. Common for short-term project use.

Single-person ensuite units

Bedroom plus private bathroom. Standard for longer-term camps where privacy matters. Higher cost, lower turnover, better retention.

Multi-room dongas

Several sleeping rooms per module, shared services. Mid-range option.

Full camp setups

Sleeping accommodation plus mess hall, recreation, laundry, services buildings. Hi-Tech can supply the complete camp.

Specifications That Matter

• Heavy-duty construction (high turnover, hard use)
• Robust finishes (commercial-grade flooring, fixtures)
• Acoustic separation (shift workers need quality sleep)
• Reverse-cycle aircon (variable climate use)
• Wifi-ready (workers expect it)
• Compliance with relevant codes (Fly-In Fly-Out standards where applicable)

Speed of Delivery

This is where modular wins by an enormous margin. We can deliver 10 to 50 unit camps in 4 to 12 weeks depending on size. Traditional on-site construction would take 12 to 18 months. For projects with tight ramp-up schedules, this is decisive.

Relocatable Operations

Modular workers accommodation can be relocated when projects end. Lift the modules off, truck them to the next site, refurbish if needed. Total project cost over multi-site use is dramatically lower than building fresh on each site.

Pricing

Per-bed pricing varies with specification level. Basic dongas are the cheapest. Single-person ensuite units cost more. Volume discounts apply on larger orders. Transport quoted per delivery.
