When you’re running a busy construction site, having the right facilities in place isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential. That’s where site accommodation hire comes in. From welfare units to modular offices, hiring site accommodation helps you meet regulations, keep your team comfortable, and improve productivity on site.
In this blog, we’ll explore why site accommodation is so important on construction sites and how flexible hire options from Addplant can make all the difference.
Why Use Welfare and Accommodation on Construction Sites?
Construction sites have a legal duty to provide welfare facilities for workers under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM). This includes access to toilets, washing facilities, drinking water, and a place to rest during breaks.
But beyond compliance, having proper site accommodation offers real, practical benefits:
1. A Low-Cost Solution
Buying site accommodation outright can be expensive, especially if you only need it for a specific project. Hiring from a trusted provider like Addplant is a far more affordable option, giving you access to high-quality facilities without the large upfront costs.
2. Flexible for Short or Long-Term Projects
Every site is different, and that’s why flexibility is key. Whether you’re working on a short-term job or a long-term development, we offer hire options to match your project’s timeline. Need to extend the hire period? No problem.
3. Rapid Deployment, Minimal Disruption
We understand that time is money on site. That’s why we offer fast delivery and setup of our welfare and accommodation units, helping you stay on schedule with minimal disruption. Our experienced team handles the logistics, so you can focus on the work at hand.
4. Modular Configurations for Larger Spaces
Our site accommodation units are modular, which means they can be configured to create larger spaces that suit your team’s needs. Whether it’s extra office space, a bigger canteen, or a meeting room, we can tailor the layout to your site.
5. Boosts Productivity and Staff Wellbeing
Having warm, dry spaces for breaks, clean toilets, and a place to make a cup of tea can make a huge difference to morale and productivity. A well-equipped site helps keep your team happy, focused, and ready to tackle the job.
6. Easy to Relocate
If your project moves or your needs change, no problem. Our accommodation units are designed to be relocated easily, so they can move with you from site to site without hassle.
7. Meets Legal Requirements
With Addplant’s welfare and accommodation hire, you can rest assured that your site is fully compliant with the latest health, safety, and welfare regulations. We’ll help you stay on the right side of the law while keeping your workforce safe and supported.
