New or Second-Hand Site Accommodation Cabins

Given the ever-evolving nature of the construction industry, multiple essential boxes need to be ticked. One necessity is having adequate site accommodation in place. Temporary on-site accommodation plays a pivotal role on any construction site, providing necessary facilities and office space for workers, contractors and project managers. 

It’s not just about offering temporary shelter but also about ensuring your crew has a place to rest and recuperate when working such labour-intensive jobs. This, in turn, increases the productivity and efficiency of your crew.

The next step is choosing between second-hand or new-site accommodation cabins. In this blog, we’ll delve into the various factors to consider when making your decision.

Understanding Site Accommodation Cabins

A site accommodation cabin is a type of temporary accommodation that provides construction sites and remote locations with necessary day-to-day amenities.

There are different types of units available, varying from welfare units to modular cabins with kitchenettes and office space. 

A little customisation and flexibility for your on-site temporary accommodation goes a long way in adapting to the dynamic needs of your project.

Benefits of New Site Accommodation Cabins

A new accommodation cabin on-site offers the following benefits:

• The option of warranty 
• No structural issues or existing wear and tear
• Built to the latest safety and regulatory standards and requirements
• Layout, size, amenities and features can be tailor-made to match the client’s needs

Benefits of Second-Hand Site Accommodation Cabins

Second-hand site accommodation cabins offer the following benefits:

• They are normally available faster 
• Are a quicker solution for urgent project demands
• Budget-friendly and better value-for-money option 
• Upgrades can be made to fit your use

New vs. Second-Hand Cabins: Which One Should You Choose?

Now that you have read through the benefits of both new and second-hand cabin accommodation, you may have inched closer to making a decision.

One thing we know for sure is that there is no one-size-fits-all answer. Your decision depends on your construction project’s size, purpose and specific requirements. Say if you are in urgent need of an accommodation cabin to kick off your project, a second-hand site accommodation cabin may be a better decision. This is because the lead time on customising a new cabin is longer, and usually second-hand cabins are more readily available.

You can also take quality, condition, customisation, features, costs, accessibility, environmental impact, regulatory compliance and industry standards into consideration before coming to a final decision.

Whichever option you choose, trust Cabin Solutions for your site accommodation needs.
