Start with the project, not the property

Before searching, define the worksite location, start date, likely end date and number of people travelling. A vague request produces unsuitable options.

Decide the room arrangement

Confirm whether workers require individual rooms, whether twin sharing is acceptable and whether supervisors need a separate arrangement.

Check the daily practicalities

  • Journey time to site
  • Parking for vans or company vehicles
  • Kitchen and food-storage capacity
  • Laundry facilities
  • Wi-Fi quality
  • Living space for rest days
  • Access arrangements around shift patterns

Compare the complete cost

Compare the full stay rather than only a headline nightly figure. Confirm utilities, cleaning, deposits, parking and any other applicable charges.

Plan for change

Projects can overrun or team numbers can increase. Raise likely changes before booking and request extensions as early as possible.

Send one complete brief

A structured brief helps Contract Stays focus on the right locations and property types for a 30+ night assignment.
