The flexibility and adaptability of onsite accommodation are two of the key factors that make temporary cabins an attractive solution for housing workers on the site of a project. Bunkabin - a leading provider of temporary accommodation solutions in the UK - offers a range of cabins to a variety of industries, including the popular 'Site Sleepers'. Their ability to suit a wide range of applications is responsible for their popularity, and this illustrates why flexibility is so important - it gives site managers extra freedom in how they manage their projects.
Here, Bunkabin explains how we regularly support projects with their new developments and existing institutions on short notice using our flexible and adaptable portable solutions.
Understanding Onsite Accommodation
Before we explore the core themes of flexibility and adaptability, it is important to define what we mean by onsite accommodation. Onsite accommodation generally refers to temporary living quarters provided for workers at the location of their work; for example, a construction site. These spaces are usually mobile, easy to install and uninstall, and are designed to offer comfort and convenience for workers during their rest hours.
However, temporary solutions do not stop at Site Sleepers, but include portable toilets, shower blocks, storage and rest spaces. Each is designed to keep its inhabitants safe and comfortable. This variety means that you can find a perfect combination to meet all the needs of your workers and your project.
Bunkabin's site sleepers are geared towards comfort and privacy, providing suitable accommodation for workers, festival goers and students. Whether they need a space of their own (single cabins), a shared arrangement (twin cabins), or a more luxurious setup (Bespoke configurations), our site sleepers can provide.
The Inherent Flexibility of Onsite Accommodation
One of the primary benefits of onsite accommodation is its innate flexibility. The scale of accommodation can fluctuate according to project requirements. Should you need more workers to join your team and extra accommodation for them, you can easily add more portable units through Bunkabin's delivery and installation process. Similarly, if your team size shrinks, you have the option to remove surplus units, ensuring you maintain a balance between need and supply.
Site sleepers accommodate diverse requirements - single cabins are perfect for site managers who need private spaces, twin units are better for larger crews, and Bespoke cabins provide a home-like feel with additional amenities. Our goal is always to make inhabitants feel like they are in a safe and comfortable environment, no matter their needs and expectations.
The Adaptability of Onsite Accommodation
Onsite accommodation is also highly adaptable, tailoring itself to the unique challenges each construction site might present. Our units are engineered to withstand inclement weather conditions, providing a secure and comfortable sanctuary against the elements.
Furthermore, Bunkabin’s units can adapt to different work schedules and workforce patterns. If your project involves shift work or requires staff to stay on site for extended hours, having comfortable, accessible onsite accommodation ensures workers can recuperate effectively between shifts. As portable accommodation is often installed directly onto project sites, this saves the need for any commuting or hotel stays, which may be expensive and inconvenient.
Advantages Arising from Flexibility and Adaptability
The dual aspects of flexibility and adaptability in onsite accommodation can give rise to a multitude of benefits. Firstly, productivity levels on projects can see a marked improvement. When workers have access to comfortable accommodation right on site, they are relieved from the stress of long commutes or finding temporary lodging. This means they can concentrate better on their tasks and feel less distracted by external worries.
Flexibility leads to cost-efficiency as well, ensuring you only need to order and install what you will use. The adaptability of these units enables them to serve your workers effectively, regardless of changing site conditions or work schedules, offering a continuous return on investment.

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.
