IndonesiaStaff accommodation refers to housing or living quarters (often called dormitories or mess halls) provided by a company for its employees. The goal is to create a comfortable and pleasant living environment so that employees feel at home and are more likely to stay with the company for the long term.
Industries such as mining, construction, plantations, or other operations that require employees to remain on-site typically need proper staff housing facilities. For example, mining companies are usually required to provide facilities such as dormitories and site offices (direksi keet), along with supporting amenities, before starting a project.
To speed up the availability of these facilities, modular buildings are often chosen for their efficiency in both construction time and long-term cost-effectiveness. Although considered semi-permanent structures, modular buildings are built with strict quality control, ensuring durability and longevity.
The structure of modular buildings is made from stainless steel, while the wall components use insulated sandwich panels. The construction process follows a prefabricated building method, specifically the knock-down system, which allows for quick assembly and disassembly. For reference, modular buildings are one of several types of prefabricated structures, alongside panelized and hybrid buildings.
You can order modular buildings from Tradecorp Indonesia to be used as staff accommodation. Since 2014, Tradecorp has been serving both individuals and businesses by providing shipping containers, offshore DNV containers, ISO tank containers, modified containers, modular prefabricated buildings, and light gauge steel construction.

Staff Accommodation Models Using Modular Buildings
Types of Modular Buildings
Tradecorp offers a wide range of modular buildings with designs and functions tailored to your needs. Each model is built using premium materials to ensure long-lasting performance. These modular building types are divided into three main concepts: detachable (knock-down), foldable, and expandable.
1. ModBox
Built with a detachable concept, the Modular Box (ModBox) comes in a standard size of 5,950 × 3,000 × 2,800 mm. Units can be stacked up to three levels high and are equipped with EPS-insulated sandwich panels to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures.
For those requiring extra durability, ModBox Pro is available with EPS concrete wall panels, offering greater resistance to extreme weather and impact. ModBox is ideal for staff accommodation, project offices, or other support facilities.
2. ModPack
Similar in appearance and function to ModBox, ModPack can also be stacked to create multi-storey structures. Its key advantage lies in the use of Rockwool-insulated sandwich panels, which offer enhanced fire protection and better noise reduction.
ModPack is a smart choice for locations that require higher safety standards and acoustic comfort, such as project meeting rooms, field offices, or 24/7 operational facilities.
3. ModMulti
ModMulti provides exceptional flexibility, suitable for both staff housing and operational facilities. Using the knock-down construction method, ModMulti is available in two module types:
- K-Style (K = 1,820 mm)
- T-Style (T = 1,150 mm)
This modular design allows for easy reconfiguration, expansion, and even conversion into two-storey buildings. ModMulti is the ideal choice for long-term projects that need accommodation and operational spaces combined in one building.
4. ModSnap
Designed with a foldable concept, ModSnap can be collapsed for efficient transport and quick installation. Resembling a shipping container, this foldable unit is highly popular for its portability.
Available in three variants, ModSnap Standard, ModSnap Luxury, and ModSnap Lite, it is perfect for rapid deployment needs such as temporary command posts, emergency workspaces, or short-term housing in remote areas.
5. ModHouse
The ModHouse adopts an expandable design, where a compact container-like unit can be transformed into a fully functional home within hours. The layout includes:
- 2 bedrooms,
- 1 bathroom,
- 1 kitchen,
- 1 living/family room.
With its ease of installation and comfort similar to a conventional house, ModHouse is ideal for family accommodation in project areas or newly developed residential sites.
6. Rakita
Rakita is a minimalist portable cabin specifically engineered for earthquake resistance. It has been recommended by the Research and Development Center for Housing and Settlements, Ministry of Public Works and Housing (PUPR) as a temporary housing solution for disaster victims.
Already deployed in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, Rakita demonstrates Tradecorp’s commitment to providing safe, practical, and livable prefabricated housing in emergency situations.
