Getting significant staying power from camp accommodation originally earmarked for short-term projects is a tall order.

The alternative for companies whose projects are now expected to endure for a few decades is to build a brand-new facility. Companies must debate the pros and cons of either option:

• How do you determine whether to start from the ground up or to renovate your existing housing infrastructure?
• What are the typical budgetary requirements in either scenario?
• Assessing whether it’s possible to revamp legacy assets and still be able to compete with other industry players providing new housing options
• How important is offering the fancy bells and whistles typical of brand-new camps?
