When disaster strikes or large infrastructure and construction projects arise, rapid deployment of temporary accommodation is crucial. Communities must be set up quickly to house workers, refugees, or those displaced. This is where Lida Group has established itself as an industry leader through innovative design and engineering of mobile accommodation villages. With over two decades of experience, Lida Group has demonstrated a pioneering spirit in staying on the cutting edge of how temporary communities can be planned, built and installed with maximum speed and efficiency.

Founded in 1993, Lida Group is headquartered in Shenzhen, China with additional offices throughout Asia and Europe. The company got its start designing and building basic shelter solutions to house construction crews working on early infrastructure projects as China rapidly modernized. Recognizing the growing need for entire planned communities that could be quickly deployed whenever and wherever needed, Lida Group expanded its scope. It now provides turnkey accommodation village solutions from initial planning and design all the way through installation and handover.

At the core of Lida Group’s approach is a commitment to continuous innovation. Recognizing that rapid deployment means minimizing on-site construction, the company invested heavily in off-site prefabricated building techniques. Modular construction allows entire rooms, buildings and entire villages to be factory-assembled off-site and transported for swift installation. To maximize efficiency of transport and assembly, Lida Group pioneered integrated engineering designs where all village components – from buildings and roads to water, power and sewerage systems – are purpose-built to fit together like interlocking building blocks.

This modular prefabricated approach has significant advantages. By doing the bulk of construction work off-site in controlled factory conditions, weather delays are avoided. Structural components can be assembled simultaneously rather than sequentially, dramatically reducing overall build time. Transportation is also streamlined, with entire villages able to be delivered week by week as expanding accommodation needs dictate. On-site, components simply need to be lifted into place and connected. This revolutionary rapid deployment process has Lida Group consistently delivering entire villages in as little as 4-6 weeks from contract signing – a fraction of the time required through conventional on-site construction methods.

To continually refine its prefabricated solutions and maintain its competitive edge, Lida Group invests heavily in research and development. Its in-house engineering facility employs the latest 3D modeling, design simulation, and structural analysis software. Prototypes are rigorously tested to exceed all regulatory standards while optimizing for lightness, durability, energy efficiency and cost. The company holds numerous patents for innovations like its patented “Quick Build System” comprising standardized modular building blocks that represent a significant improvement over traditional modular construction methods. Continual upgrades mean villages installed today utilize more advanced building techniques and materials than those from even just a few years ago.

Sustainability is also a key priority for Lida Group in both village design and operations. Prefabricated components are 100% reusable and can be repurposed many times, significantly reducing construction waste. Modular construction further streamlines material usage. Villages feature smart, energy efficient designs optimized for tropical environments like Southeast Asia. Passive measures maximize natural ventilation and daylighting while minimizing energy usage. Centralized utilities allow integration of renewable power sources. Operational village management ensures efficient long-term resource usage through measures like water conservation and waste recycling programs.

Of course, speed and efficiency mean little without also meeting demanding inhabitant needs. Lida Group villages rival small suburban developments, providing all expected community amenities. In addition to dormitory-style accommodation blocks, well-planned neighborhoods include integrated facilities like cafeterias, clinics, recreational areas, convenience stores and more. Accommodation standards exceed requirements to provide dignified, comfortable living spaces for longer-term residency, if needed. Interiors feature modular, repeating furnishings that can be reconfigured as requirements change. Quality construction and serviceable interior finishes make for durable, low-maintenance living environments.

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck in early 2020, Lida Group mobilized its rapid deployment abilities to establish field hospitals and quarantine facilities across Asia and the Middle East. Within weeks, entire hospitals including negative pressure isolation wards and all supporting facilities were installed for emergency pandemic response. As the first wave subsided, some of these hospitals were later relocated for future preparedness. In similar fashion, clinics and quarantine villages have been swiftly deployed to help control outbreaks in border regions, industrial work sites and more vulnerable communities. Post-pandemic, Lida Group’s temporary health infrastructure solutions demonstrate how modular construction can revolutionize how we plan for and respond to public health emergencies worldwide.

Today as the developing world experiences ongoing large scale industrialization and economic growth, demand remains strong for Lida Group’s community solutions. Alongside ongoing domestic projects, the company continues venturing into new global regions and application sectors. Accommodation villages now house workers involved in everything from oil & gas development to large-scale mining operations. In many remote or harsh environment areas, Lida Group designs the entire living ecosystem including accommodation, facility buildings, roads, water and power systems. Portable villages have even been tailored for specialized uses like remote mining exploration camps high in the Andes or African savannah.

Through continuous innovation, engineering excellence and nearly 25 years of field experience, Lida Group has cemented its reputation as the global leader in rapid deployment temporary housing solutions. Looking forward, the company aims to leverage modular construction principles to revolutionize affordable permanent housing construction as well. Mass timber and off-site fabrication technologies continue advancing, with the goal of one day providing low-cost, climate resilient homes equally suited to both developing and disaster-impacted communities worldwide.

In Summary

Lida Group exemplifies a true pioneering spirit through its trailblazing approach to designing and engineering rapidly deployed, fully planned mobile temporary accommodation communities. By investing heavily in prefabricated modular construction techniques optimized for off-site assembly and swift on-site installation, the company has dramatically shortened project timelines. Entire villages can be delivered in a fraction of the time required through conventional construction methods. Continuous innovation, research, and engineering excellence ensure its solutions remain on the cutting edge. Sustainability and inhabitant needs are also priorities, as villages provide durable, comfortable living spaces equivalent to small suburban developments. In recent years, the company has demonstrated modular construction’s potential for revolutionizing emergency infrastructure and disaster response. Looking ahead, Lida Group aims to leverage its expertise advancing affordable housing solutions globally. Through nearly 25 years of experience, the company has established itself as the clear industry leader in rapid deployment temporary housing.
