Prefabricated Camp Building: KHOME’s K House and T House Solutions
As a professional supplier of prefabricated camps, K-HOME offers container camp buildings and prefabricated camp buildings. This article primarily introduces our prefabricated campsite solutions. Our prefabricated campsites feature two main house structures: K-type and T-type, to meet the diverse needs of different clients.Both structures are factory prefabricated and assembled on-site, but they have different focuses in design concepts, load-bearing performance and application scenarios, which can meet the needs of various camp construction projects.
prefab K House: An Economical & Practical Standardized Solution
Prefabricated K House is an economical and practical prefabricated camp building structure launched by KHOME, known for its standardized design and rapid assembly capabilities.
This structure uses a light steel frame, combined with prefabricated wall panels, roof panels and floor modules. Most of the production processes are completed in the factory, and then transported to the site for assembly.
K House is usually suitable for projects with high requirements for construction period and cost control, such as temporary construction camps or disaster shelters.
prefab T House: A Robust and Durable Enhanced Structural System
Prefab T-type House is an enhanced prefabricated camp building structure designed by KHOME to meet more complex environmental conditions and higher usage requirements.
Compared with K House, T House has significantly improved load-bearing capacity, spatial span and durability, making it suitable for harsh weather conditions or long-term use scenarios.
Prefab T House is more suitable for semi-permanent camps, such as mining living areas, field research bases.
Understanding the core differences in prefabricated camp construction methods | How to choose？
In the planning and construction of prefabricated buildings for camps, structural design is the core factor that determines the building’s performance, applicable scenarios, and long-term value. The KHOME provided K-house and T-house solutions have developed based on two distinct structural. These two structures are not merely an upgrade relationship but rather product systems developed in parallel to meet differentiated demands. Different design concepts.
Ⅰ. Structure Design
K-House: Lightweight, standardized, and highly efficient modular design
The structural design of K House adheres to the core of “lightweight, standardization, and high efficiency”. Its design intention is to address project scenarios that require rapid deployment, are cost-sensitive, and have relatively flexible usage cycles.
In the structural system, K-House adopts a light cold-formed, thin-walled steel structure as the main load-bearing framework. This framework features lightweight components with cross-sections, formed through precise cold-bending processing, which significantly reduces the self-weight of the materials while ensuring the necessary strength.
The entire structural system is broken down into highly standardized panel modules, such as frames, wall panels, roof panels, and floor. Each module is prefabricated in the factory, greatly simplifying the on-site construction process and enabling rapid construction.
Its structural logic pursues economic optimization under the given standard loads (such as conventional wind loads and snow loads), with all designs aiming for repeatability, batch production and rapid turnover.
T House: Heavy-duty, Customized and High-tolerance Frame Design
In contrast, the structural design of the T House adheres to the engineering concept of “heavy-duty, customized, and high-tolerance”. It is targeted at long-term camps that have higher requirements for building lifespan, environmental adaptability, and spatial quality.
The T House adopts a heavy-duty frame structure mainly composed of square steel tubes. The beams and columns of this frame have larger cross-sections and significantly thicker steel, thus forming a strong and robust main skeleton. The design logic is to first establish a solid “spatial skeleton” that can withstand large variable loads, and then fill in the enclosure walls, floor slabs and other components. Therefore, the structure of the T House is closer to that of traditional permanent houses, emphasizing the integrity and anti-deformation ability of the structure.
It allows for larger spatial spans (such as column-free large open spaces) and can safely support multi-story construction. The design focus is on enhancing structural redundancy and using higher-performance materials to cope with complex and harsh application environments and provide extensive customization possibilities for customers.
Ⅱ. Main structure and connection technology
prefab k house
The main frame of a karaoke room is a lightweight skeleton.
Its columns and top and bottom rails are typically made of thin-walled C-shaped or U-shaped steel. They are tightly connected to the wall panel joists using self-tapping screws or special clips. This connection method is efficient and economical.
prefab t house
The main frame of the T-shaped building is a robust steel square tube skeleton. Its steel columns and beams are typically connected rigidly or semi-rigidly using welding or high-strength bolts to form a stable portal steel frame. This connection method provides strength and stiffness far exceeding that of lightweight systems, effectively resisting structural deformation caused by uneven settlement, strong winds, and earthquakes.
Ⅲ. Enclosure system and insulation integration
For the enclosure system, both use composite sandwich panels, but the integration methods and performance grades are different.
- The wall panels of K House are usually integrated modules that serve as both load-bearing and enclosure. The panels and internal studs are pre-combined in the factory, with the insulation core material (such as rock wool, glass wool) completely enclosed within. On-site, only the entire panel needs to be fixed to the frame. This “sandwich” panel.
- The enclosure panels of the T room mainly serve as non-load-bearing filling components, suspended or fixed on the main steel frame. As they do not participate in the main force-bearing, they can adopt thicker insulation layers (such as core panels over 100mm) and achieve more complex exterior wall construction layers (such as external decorative layers, etc.), thereby obtaining excellent thermal insulation, sound insulation and moisture-proof performance.

Ⅳ. Load-bearing capacity and spatial freedom
- K house: The clear span of a single floor in K-rooms is usually limited by the performance of lightweight materials, typically ranging from 6 to 12 meters. It is suitable for standard functional units such as dormitories, offices, and convenience stores. The number of floors is mainly single, and occasionally, a lightweight two-story structure can be designed.
- T house: With its heavy-duty frame, the T House can easily create a column-free single-story space of over 12 meters, making it possible to meet the large-space requirements of canteens, meeting rooms, warehouses, maintenance workshops, etc. Its structure can stably support vertical construction of up to two floors, greatly enhancing land utilization and the functional complexity of the camp.
Ⅴ. Economic and Flexibility Spectrum
From a full life cycle cost analysis, K House has an absolute advantage in initial investment and short-term usage costs. Its high standardization brings about a scale effect that lowers the unit price, and its lightweight design saves on transportation and foundation costs. T House has a higher initial investment, but over a usage period of more than ten years, its outstanding durability, low maintenance costs, and excellent energy efficiency (due to better insulation) will spread out the initial cost, demonstrating higher long-term value.
