Integrated camp management for Africa's mining projects
From greenfield construction camps to long-life operational villages, QFM delivers every support service your workforce needs through one contract, one management team and one set of KPIs.
Why integrated, and why QFM
When catering, accommodation, maintenance and logistics are run by separate contractors, gaps open between them and nobody owns the outcome. We take accountability for the whole camp.
One point of accountability
A single management team answers for service, safety and cost across every service line.
Measured, not promised
KPIs agreed upfront and reported monthly: satisfaction, food safety, uptime and cost per person.
Built to scale
Our leadership has grown a single camp operation from 340 to over 7,500 personnel without losing control.
Turnaround experience
We are often brought in where services are failing. We know how to stabilise and rebuild trust quickly.
