Camp Layout and Selection Decision Tree
Updated 2026-11-01 · JIUJIAN GLOBAL technical team
Work through five questions: how many people, for how long, in what climate, with which services, and with what expansion plan. Headcount and duration set the unit type and the investment logic; climate sets the panel and coating; services set the layout; expansion sets the phasing. The unit mix follows: dormitory modules, ablution blocks, canteen, offices and a clinic or first-aid room scaled to headcount.
Camp planning is a sequence of eliminations. Answer the five questions below and the specification largely writes itself.
The decision tree
| Question | Answer | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Headcount? | Under 50 / 50-200 / over 200 | Single block / phased blocks / master plan with services first |
| Duration? | Under 1 year / 1-3 years / over 3 years | Relocatable folding / mixed / permanent specification |
| Climate? | Cold / hot-dry / hot-humid / temperate | PU panels / rock wool + shading / rock wool + ventilation / EPS or PU |
| Services? | Grid power / generator / off-grid | Distribution design, fuel storage, solar and battery provision |
| Expansion? | Fixed / phased / uncertain | Layout with reserved corridors and service spines |
Unit mix that follows
- Accommodation: 20ft or 40ft dormitory modules, 2-8 beds each depending on layout.
- Ablutions: shared blocks sized by fixture ratio, separated by gender where the workforce requires it.
- Kitchen and canteen: usually the largest single building and the one most often undersized.
- Offices: expandable units for site management, safety and administration.
- Support: first aid, laundry, store, and a small workshop.
Layout rules that prevent complaints
Keep accommodation away from generators and workshops; provide a covered walkway in wet climates; separate vehicle routes from pedestrian routes; site ablutions within a short walk of every dormitory; and reserve space for expansion before the first unit is placed. Fire separation between blocks and clear access for an emergency vehicle are not optional.
