For businesses managing temporary assignments, group moves, remote projects or relocating employees, finding the right temporary corporate accommodation can have a direct impact on cost control, workforce wellbeing and operational efficiency. Hotels, serviced apartments and traditional corporate housing may be suitable for some short stays, but they are not always the most practical or cost effective option for teams that need to remain close to a project site.
At Bunkabin, we provide comfortable and luxurioustemporary accommodation for businesses that need flexible, practical and comfortable facilities for employees working away from home. With a range of sleeper units, diners, shower blocks and toilet facilities available for hire, companies can create accommodation that supports their site needs and their timescales.
WHY BUSINESSES USE TEMPORARY CORPORATE ACCOMMODATION
Temporary corporate accommodation is often required when employees, consultants, contractors or project teams need to stay away from home for a fixed period. This may be for relocation, business travel, temporary assignments,infrastructure projects,seasonal work orrenewable energy sites where daily travel would be inefficient.
Temporary accommodation on or near site is a great way to save time on travelling and remain focused on the project in hand.
This is particularly important for group moves or extended stay projects, where arranging multiple hotel rooms or serviced apartments can become expensive, particularly where locations are remote and far away from suitable accommodation. A practical temporary accommodation setup gives project managers more control over location, facilities and cost.
COST EFFICIENCY COMPARED WITH HOTELS
Cost is one of the main reasons businesses are now looking beyond hotels when arranging corporate accommodation. While hotels can be convenient for short stays or individual business travellers, costs can rise quickly when several employees need accommodation for weeks or months at a time.
The room rate is only one part of that cost. Businesses may also need to account for meals, parking, laundry and transport to and from site. Last-minute booking changes and reduced availability during busy periods also puts pressure on the bottom line.
While serviced apartments and corporate housing may offer more space than hotels, they still depend on market availability, location and lease terms. For teams working on remote sites, these options may not be close enough to be efficient.
FLEXIBILITY AROUND PROJECT TIMESCALES
Business needs can change quickly, especially when accommodation is linked to project work. Temporary assignments may be extended, workforce numbers could suddenly need to increase at short notice, and site requirements may shift as work progresses.
For this reason, flexible lease terms are an important consideration when choosing temporary corporate accommodation. Committing to unsuitable hotel arrangements or longer-term serviced accommodation can create unnecessary cost if requirements change. Businesses need accommodation solutions that can adapt around the reality of the project.
Bunkabin’s hire model gives companies a flexible way to provide accommodation for the period required.We offer quick hire, for when your needs change, and our units can be used for short stays, extended stay requirements or longer-term temporary accommodation. As requirements change, additional facilities can be added (or removed) to support your staffing needs.
EMPLOYEE COMFORT, WELLBEING AND PRODUCTIVITY
Staff working away from home need somewhere comfortable, warm and practical where they can rest properly between shifts or working days.
Poor accommodation affects morale, sleep quality and focus. All things that will impact employee satisfaction and productivity. For extended stay projects or temporary assignments, the quality of the accommodation becomes even more important, as employees need a space that supports both privacy and day-to-day comfort.
Bunkabin’ssleeper units are designed to provide practical accommodation for people working away from home. Facilities include proper beds, heating, storage and en-suite washing facilities. These units are designed to create a home-from-home feel for employees, so they can rest, recover and return to work ready for the day ahead.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT MIX OF UNITS
Temporary corporate accommodation should be planned around the number of employees, the length of stay and the facilities required. Bunkabin offers arange of portable cabins that can be combined to create a practical accommodation solution. Sleeper units provide private overnight accommodation for employees, contractors, consultants or project teams.Diner units give staff a shared space to eat meals, take breaks and spend time away from working areas.Shower blocks and toilets can be added where welfare facilities are needed on site.
We lease units to all kinds of businesses. From the whole portable cabin villages we have been supplying toGlastonbury for the last few decades, to the many smaller corporate projects that we have supported.
DELIVERY, INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONAL EASE
For decision makers, the accommodation itself is only part of the picture. Delivery, installation and day-to-day practicality are also important. Bunkabin’s portable accommodation is designed to be delivered directly to site and installed with minimal disruption. If your site has road access,we can deliver. If utilities are in place, our units can be connected and habitable within an hour of arriving on site.

Testimonials
We approached Bunkabin in 2015 to deliver a turnkey accommodation solution for our performers from around the world who were performing at Her Majesty The Queen’s 90th Birthday Celebrations at Windsor this year. Subsequently 200 Bunkabins were ordered and work started on the planning of such a major logistical operation. In 22 days, 200 Bunkabins, complete with bedding kits, were delivered and installed and when our performers arrived they were amazed that we could offer an on-site solution that offered everything they needed. It made for a real village atmosphere with all nations joining together and we couldn’t have asked for more.
Bunkabins drivers were amazing – taking great care when loading and offloading not to damage the grass in the Private Grounds of Her Majesty The Queen and all in all the Bunkabins worked perfectly

Over the last 6 years we have increased the Student Village from initially 30 up to currently 274 en-suite Student Sleepers. The Student Village Company provide us with a flexible accommodation capacity, so as long as we have land available, we no longer need to turn away a student because of accommodation shortages.
It is very difficult to predict exact intake numbers however The Student Village Company are able to provide additional capacity only a few weeks before freshers week. The decking, canopy and decals make an enormous difference. The students love them.
