Guarding your site from a portable accommodation cabin

Saturday, October 30th, 2010

There are many reasons why you might need portable accommodation, but in most instances, they are used by builders and contractors when they need to live on site or they want to have a presence on site for security purposes.

Portable accommodation also means that you have somewhere warm and dry in which you can conduct any site meetings with your contractors or client without having to stand in the rain or sit in your car.

All portable accommodation cabins come with kitchen and bathroom facilities so you can pretty much live inside it until your new house is ready or until the site is safe enough that it doesn’t need to be guarded any longer. Portable accommodation is certainly cheaper than hiring a security guard to be there every night.

When you are choosing between the portable accommodation cabins, you will need to decide what size of cabin you need and how many people are going to be using it. If it is just for yourself, you could probably get away with a small cabin with the necessary facilities. The cabin can be heated using electric heaters and there is insulation in the walls so there is no fear of you getting cold during the winter.

Living in portable accommodation

When you are looking into portable accommodation for your construction site or for another purpose, you need to make sure that the portable accommodation contains everything that you need in order to live in it comfortably.

All portable accommodation cabins are insulated so that you retain as much heat as possible. They also come with kitchen and bathroom facilities so that you can plumb it into whatever location you choose to have your portable accommodation. You will find that your portable accommodation is also far more spacious than you ever imagined and you can easily live comfortably whilst your new house is being built or utilise it as a temporary home.

In order to put portable accommodation on a build site or a plot of land, you may need to check with the local planning authority to find out whether or not you need planning permission for it to be there. In most cases, if it is only temporary, you will only need to get temporary planning permission however if you intend to live in it for longer than a year or two, you will need full planning permission. Although this might seem like a lot of effort for a portable accommodation cabin, it will be worthwhile, as you will now have somewhere to live comfortably.

This should motivate your staff to get moving with the construction of your new offices and you will be sitting in your plush offices before you know it.
