HOW BUNKABIN CAN HELP WITH ARMED FORCES TEMPORARY HOUSING

The Bespoke Sleeper was created with the Ministry of Defence in mind. The unit is a high-end, single en-suite living accommodation that has all the creature comforts of a hotel, but with the added bonus of optional fitted microwaves and full-size fridges. It is spacious and warm, with a walnut-style setting, providing independence when working away from home. It allows you to kick off your boots and unwind in a cosy, relaxing environment.

The versatility of our units means they can be used throughout the rating structure. Moreover, we can implement these units anywhere, to make sure our armed forces have the accommodation they need, where and when they need it.

MOD USE CASES

Bunkabin’s Ministry of Defence accommodation is suitable for a wide range of operational needs across the UK Armed Forces. Our units can support service personnel during extended deployments, training exercises and joint operations with allied forces. They have also provided temporary accommodation when barracks were undergoing refurbishment, supported forces’ housing requirements during relocations and been deployed as overflow capacity during peak periods.

CASE STUDY: SUPPORTING DEFENCE ACCOMMODATION STRATEGY AT ROSYTH DOCKYARD

During the construction of the Royal Navy's aircraft carriers HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales, the navy faced a shortage of beds for the military personnel assigned to this project. We stepped in to supply sleeper units to accommodate 302 Royal Navy officers and ratings. Read about how we set up the Royal Navy Bunkabin village.

Our units

We offer the following types of portable units:

• Junior Deluxe Sleeper - this unit is available in single, twin and triple configurations and is one of our most popular and adaptable sleepers. It has an en-suite bathroom, ample amounts of storage, a sturdy steel roof and thermostatic-controlled heating as well as many other features designed to create a comfortable living space.
• Bespoke Sleeper - this is a new unit that is the same size as the Deluxe Sleeper but includes a range of additional features, including extra electrical sockets, full-length LED task lighting and a state-of-the-art integral blind.
• Junior Diner - featuring a full-size single fan-assisted oven, four-ringed electric hob, fitted microwave, full-size fridge, boiler water tap, large double sink and comfortable furniture.
• Portable showers - our shower units provide clean, reliable and powerful shower facilities with comfortable changing areas, locks, heating and vanity units.
• Toilets - toilet and deluxe toilet blocks provide comfortable and practical amenities for men and women. Includes waterless urinals, flushing toilets, large sinks, hand driers and large mirrors.

DEPLOYMENT AND INSTALLATION

Our portable military accommodation is designed for fast mobilisation. Using our Euro 6 HGVs with HIAB loaders, we can deliver large volumes to limited locations or remote duty stations with precision. Units are fully operational in hours, not days, with installation processes designed to cut red tape and support rapid deployment in line with accommodation policy and accommodation entitlement guidelines.

Our designs work on the same basis for different services, whether supporting a Royal Marine detachment, an Army training exercise or a naval engineering project.

For operational resilience, units can connect to site utilities or operate in a self-contained manner, ensuring that armed forces personnel always have secure, comfortable facilities, even in challenging environments.

DURABILITY AND SECURITY

Our British-made units are built to handle the demands of service accommodation. Each structure is weather-resistant, secure and low maintenance. Reinforced doors and locking systems safeguard personal belongings, while robust construction provides resilience in high winds and low temperatures.
