Modular offices and camps, ready in weeks

SmartBrix deploys oil, mining, and military camps, site offices, and mobile classrooms in weeks with interconnectable modules, and delivers a complete modular project in 60–120 days. Modules are factory-built with MEP pre-integrated, shipped flat-packed, and dry-assembled.

Summary · Offices and camps
  • Deployment in weeks: modules arrive finished from the plant and on site they are only assembled and interconnected.
  • Flat-packed and optimized for standard containers, shipped directly from the group plant in Panama.
  • Relocatable and reusable between projects: the camp is dismantled and moved to the next operation.
  • Pre-integrated MEP: electrical and plumbing systems installed at the factory, not improvised on site.
01 · The challenge

Remote operations without improvisation.

Oil, mining, defense, and construction operators set up where there is no infrastructure, and they need facilities working on day one.

A camp brings together dormitories, dining halls, offices, and laboratories that must be fully operational from mobilization. At an oil field, a mine, or a military base, every day without facilities costs you crews without housing and equipment sitting idle. Wet construction on a remote site, with material hauling, scarce local labor, and adverse weather, stretches schedules and adds risks the operation cannot absorb.

SmartBrix changes the construction sequence with interconnectable prefabricated modules. They are factory-built with panels, finishes, and electrical and plumbing systems integrated. They ship flat-packed, optimized for standard containers, and are dry-assembled on pier footings. The result is deployment in weeks and complete modular projects in 60–120 days, with a process up to 90% faster than traditional construction. Oil, mining, and military camps are part of the experience behind SmartBrix's modular construction system, alongside 350+ PEB Corp Group projects executed by SmartBrix Construction over 15+ years (documented cases in the project portfolio).

The camp's life does not end with the operation. Because assembly is dry, the camp is disconnected, dismantled, and reused on the next project. The same asset serves several operations, lowers total cost compared with building anew on every site, and generates up to 30% less construction waste. Logistics follow that mobility: from Panama, the group plant ships directly to Central America and the Caribbean, where SmartBrix handles inquiries, and coverage is confirmed for each location. Design is calculated to the code of each jurisdiction: NSR-10 in Colombia, REP-2021 in Panama, and IBC where applicable.

02 · Advantages

Six advantages for temporary and remote operations.

What the modular format solves in camps and offices, from outbound logistics to demobilization.

  • 01
    Deployment in weeks

    Modules arrive finished from the plant; on site, the pier footings are poured and the modules are set and interconnected. A complete modular project is delivered in 60–120 days.

  • 02
    Efficient flat-pack shipping

    The flat-pack format makes the most of every standard container: more modules per shipment and workable logistics to remote sites, shipped directly from the group plant in Panama.

  • 03
    Relocatable between operations

    Dry assembly and no demolition: when the operation closes, the camp is dismantled and moved to the next site.

  • 04
    MEP ready from the plant

    Electrical and plumbing systems are installed at the factory as part of the production process and comply with RETIE in Colombia. On site, only the utility connections are made.

  • 05
    Configuration by interconnectable modules

    Dormitories, dining halls, offices, laboratories, and clinics combine and expand module by module as the operation grows.

  • 06
    Lower total cost through reuse

    The same asset is amortized over several operations and generates up to 30% less construction waste than traditional construction.

05 · Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about modular camps and offices.

How long does it take to set up a modular camp?
Weeks. Modules arrive from the plant with finishes, panels, and building systems; on site, pier footings are poured, structures are set, and modules are interconnected. A complete modular project is delivered in 60–120 days, with a process up to 90% faster than traditional construction. As a reference for the modular line: the Hospital Modular in Panama City, 2,430 m² (about 26,200 sq ft) delivered in 30 days.
Can the modules be moved to another operation?
Yes. Assembly is dry and involves no demolition: when the operation closes, the modules are disconnected, dismantled, and shipped flat-packed in standard containers to the next project. That reuse turns the camp into a recoverable asset and lowers total cost compared with building anew on every site.
Do the modules include electrical and plumbing systems?
Yes. The MEP comes pre-integrated: electrical and plumbing systems are installed at the factory as part of module production, together with panels and finishes. On site, only the connections to the utility supply or the camp's own systems are made. In Colombia, electrical systems comply with RETIE.
Do you serve remote sites outside Colombia and Panama?
Yes. SmartBrix handles inquiries from Central America (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala) and the Caribbean (Dominican Republic, Curaçao, Aruba, Trinidad, and Jamaica), and shipments leave directly from the group plant in Panama. The flat-pack format, optimized for standard containers, makes logistics workable for remote operations. Coverage is confirmed for each location.
