The requirements for short-term accommodation are many and varied, the good news is the solutions are equal to the task and remarkably easy and fast to put into operation.
One of the major requirements for interim accommodation is of course, for building site use, but even within this broad category there are numerous demands that can each be met, with a bit of planning. An important building site is very likely to need short term accommodation in various locations for a number of purposes. In some instances (consider the channel tunnel for instance) the arrangement is almost like a battlefield having front line (on-shift) personnel requiring canteen and rest room amenities nearby the ever moving point of work and further back from the front line so to speak, sleeping accommodation with adequate recreational amenities, On top of that at various locations there will be the requirement for site protection buildings with complex feeds from a number of CCTV cameras. Besides this the generals guiding the battle, in this instance the engineers and architects, will require specialized accommodation for their own needs.
Every one of these can be supplied with a mix of standard and bespoke shipping container buildings. For example a single 3m by 6m basic unit can provide a canteen with comfortable seating for 12 people with facilities for sinks, fridges, microwave ovens and so on. A 3m by 4m unit can provide a double toilet along with additional disabled unit and basins all with plenty of room to sustain a decent level of hygiene.
For the requirements away from the 'front line' Standard office buildings are available in a wide range of formats, for example the partitioned 7m by 3m unit will have capacity for, 4 employees with computer and drawing tables or as many as eight people who only require computer desks. Living accommodation at the top end would include a 3m, by 12m '2 bed-roomed house' that could quite readily accommodate 4 employees and supply recreational together with sleeping and food preparation areas.
Keep in mind that there is also considerable flexibility in the amount of interior fitting and furniture offered. If you need hand towel rails beside all sinks you may have them. Dependent on location and additional variables the amount of insulation, heating and air-conditioning can also be specified.
Is this not enough? Then sketch your personal ideal combination of workspace, living accommodation, canteen and sanitation and discuss it together with the specialists. The right solution for site accommodation in short term buildings can always be identified whether in single-storey or, if space is limited, stacked container buildings. The speed with which these buildings can be supplied and commissioned on location will mean that the provision of site accommodation is an factor that the project manager can forget about.
