Labour Colonies in Central Delhi: Space-Efficient Housing for CP, Karol Bagh & Paharganj Projects

Managing construction projects in Central Delhi’s congested areas presents unique challenges, particularly when it comes to worker accommodation. The dense urban landscape of Connaught Place, Karol Bagh, and Paharganj leaves little room for traditional labour housing, yet providing safe, compliant accommodation remains essential for project success. SAMAN Portable’s innovative prefabricated labour colonies offer a purpose-built solution for these space-constrained environments, enabling projects to proceed efficiently while ensuring worker welfare in Delhi’s busiest commercial zones.
Why Labour Colonies Matter in Central Delhi
Central Delhi’s infrastructure boom has created unprecedented demand for construction labour. With major renovation projects in Connaught Place, commercial developments in Karol Bagh, and hospitality upgrades in Paharganj, thousands of workers require accommodation within walking distance of these sites. The prohibitive cost of conventional housing and the impracticality of long commutes make on-site labour colonies essential.
Urban Density Challenges
Central Delhi’s urban density presents significant challenges for construction projects. With CP experiencing daily foot traffic exceeding 500,000 people and Karol Bagh’s narrow commercial lanes, finding space for worker accommodation seems nearly impossible. Traditional approaches to labour housing simply don’t work in these congested environments.
Regulatory Compliance Requirements
Delhi’s strict building codes and labour welfare regulations mandate proper accommodation for construction workers. Projects must provide housing that meets safety standards, offers basic amenities, and maintains proper sanitation—all while navigating the space constraints of Central Delhi. Non-compliance risks project delays, penalties, and reputation damage.
“Finding compliant worker housing solutions in Central Delhi’s congested zones requires innovative approaches that maximize every square foot while meeting all regulatory requirements.”

Problems with Traditional Site Housing in Central Delhi
Space Wastage
Conventional labour housing uses horizontal layouts that waste precious space in Central Delhi’s premium real estate areas. In Paharganj, where land costs exceed ₹5 lakh per square meter, traditional single-story accommodations become economically unfeasible.
Safety Concerns
Makeshift accommodations in congested areas like Karol Bagh create serious safety hazards. Improvised electrical connections, inadequate fire exits, and poor structural integrity put workers at risk and violate Delhi’s increasingly stringent safety regulations.
Compliance Issues
In Central Delhi’s heritage zones like Connaught Place, temporary structures often fail to meet building codes and labour welfare standards. This results in work stoppages, penalties, and project delays that impact timelines and budgets.
What Projects Need
- Space-efficient worker housing solutions
- Rapid deployment capabilities
- Regulatory compliance built-in
- Stackable designs for vertical expansion
- Integrated amenities and utilities
Traditional Housing Limitations
- Excessive footprint requirements
- Long setup times (2-3 weeks)
- Compliance gaps requiring retrofits
- Single-level designs wasting space
- Separate utility installations needed

PUF & GI Framed Cabins for Tight Urban Zones in Central Delhi
Traditional canvas tents and makeshift shelters fail to meet the demands of Central Delhi’s premium construction sites. SAMAN’s engineered PUF (Polyurethane Foam) panel cabins with GI (Galvanized Iron) frames offer superior durability, safety, and space efficiency—critical factors in congested urban environments.
Durability Comparison
While conventional site accommodations deteriorate within months in Delhi’s harsh climate, SAMAN’s prefabricated cabins maintain structural integrity for 7-10 years with minimal maintenance. This longevity makes them ideal for extended projects in Connaught Place’s heritage renovation zone.

24-Hour Deployment Capability
Time is critical in Central Delhi’s premium construction zones. SAMAN’s prefabricated labour colonies can be fully deployed within 24 hours in Connaught Place, minimizing disruption to surrounding businesses and traffic. This rapid installation is possible through our pre-engineered components and specialized urban deployment teams familiar with Central Delhi’s logistical challenges.
Case Study: A recent CP commercial renovation project required housing for 64 workers in a 120 sq.m back alley space. SAMAN’s G+1 stackable design was deployed overnight, allowing work to commence immediately while meeting all compliance requirements.
Successful Labour Colony Deployments in CP, Karol Bagh, and Paharganj
Connaught Place Heritage Renovation
Challenge: House 80 specialized restoration workers within 100 meters of a heritage building renovation with extremely limited space availability.
Solution: Custom G+1 stackable colony with specialized quiet zone features to comply with CP’s noise restrictions. The vertical design reduced footprint by 60% compared to conventional housing.
Result: Project completed 3 weeks ahead of schedule due to worker proximity and improved rest quality.
Karol Bagh Commercial Development
Challenge: Accommodate 120 workers for a 14-month commercial development in Karol Bagh’s congested market area with severe space limitations.
Solution: Modular G+1 labour colony with integrated mess facilities and specialized narrow-access design for Karol Bagh’s restricted lanes.
Result: Eliminated daily commute issues, increasing productive work hours by 1.5 hours daily and reducing project timeline by 6 weeks.
Paharganj Railway Upgrade
Challenge: Provide compliant housing for 150 railway upgrade workers near Paharganj station while maintaining access for passengers and vendors.
Solution: Custom-configured labour colony with specialized noise insulation and shift-optimized layout to support 24/7 railway work.
Result: Reduced security incidents by 100% compared to distributed accommodation, with zero work stoppages due to housing issues.
“SAMAN’s space-efficient labour colonies allowed us to house our entire specialized workforce directly adjacent to our CP heritage restoration project—something we initially thought impossible given the space constraints. The proximity dramatically improved our workflow efficiency.”
G+1 Stackable Designs with Pathways & Railings for Central Delhi
Vertical Efficiency Maximization
SAMAN’s G+1 stackable designs effectively double accommodation capacity without increasing ground footprint—critical in Central Delhi’s premium real estate zones. Our engineered stacking system includes:
- Reinforced lower modules designed for load-bearing
- Precision-engineered connecting systems ensuring structural integrity
- Integrated staircase modules that minimize space requirements
- OSHA-compliant safety railings throughout upper levels
- Space-optimized pathways that maximize occupancy while ensuring safety
A standard 10,000 sq.ft construction site in Connaught Place can typically accommodate only 40-50 workers using traditional housing. SAMAN’s G+1 stackable design increases this capacity to 100-120 workers in the same footprint.
Safety-First Design for Urban Density
Operating in Central Delhi’s congested environments demands uncompromising safety standards. Our stackable colonies feature:
- Non-slip staircase treads with proper rise/run ratios
- 1100mm high safety railings exceeding regulatory requirements
- Multiple access/egress points for emergency evacuation
- Integrated fire detection and suppression systems
- Reinforced pathways designed for high-density movement
- Weather-protected walkways for monsoon season safety
Maximize worker accommodation in limited Central Delhi space
Our G+1 stackable designs double capacity without increasing footprint.
