How to find furnished housing while your home is being built

Are you building your own home? Need somewhere to stay while your home is being built? We can help!

One key challenge when building your home is where to stay in the meantime. Few of us have the resources to stay in our existing home while our house is being built.

So where do you stay?

Do you rent a hotel room for months at a time? Do you stay in a trailer or RV? Do you stay on site?

All those things are possible, but we recommend furnished housing.

You can rent month by month, houses are fully furnished and equipped and you can stay close to your new home and watch it being built.

Housing options for self builders

Of the million details you have to address when building your own home, where to stay while it’s being built is often overlooked.

Considering how important it is, that’s a mistake!

Your options are typically:

Rent a motel or hotel

Renting a motel or hotel for anything up to a year will be expensive!

Those four walls will also begin closing in on you long before your house is built. The combination of single room living, lack of cooking space, freedom to wander and the inconvenience of living among other people will soon wear thin.

Trailer or RV

Parking a trailer or RV on site is one way to live while your house is being built.

It might not be a comfortable way though. If your plot has room while keeping you out of the way of heavy machinery, it might work.

That is as long as you don’t mind the noise, dust, swearing and bad music that’s a staple for most construction sites!

Not all self builds will have the space for a trailer or RV alongside everything the contractor needs to build your home.

Keep your current home while your new one is built

In an ideal world, you would keep living in your current home while your new house it being built.

How many of us can pay for an entire house to be built without selling our current home?

How many of us could qualify for a large enough mortgage to cover our current house and pay for a new one?

Not many of us that’s for sure!

So, what’s the alternative?

Furnished corporate housing.

Furnished rentals while your house is being built

A furnished rental is the answer. Pay by the month, rent by the month and everything is included.

You can place all your stuff safely in storage, live near your new home or work and live in comfort until your new home is built.

It’s the easiest, more comfortable way to live while you’re building a new home!

With locations across the country, in cities, rural areas, small towns and anywhere you care to live, they are as convenient as it gets.

Your rent covers everything. All utilities, cable or satellite TV, internet or WiFi and use of development amenities.

All the space, warmth, central air and privacy of home without getting in anyone’s way.

Furnished rentals are flexible too.

If your home is finished early, end your rental early. If the project runs over, stay for another month or two.

Just let us know in plenty of time and we’ll handle the rest.

You get your own account manager and have nothing to worry about. We handle the booking, liaise with the landlord, handle utilities and services.

All you need to do is turn up, collect the keys and unpack.

If you’re building your own house and need somewhere safe and warm to stay, furnished housing is the answer!

Fully Furnished Housing For Construction Crews & Projects

CLICK HERE TO BROWSE OUR FURNISHED LISTINGS

Blu Corporate Housing is the ideal choice for anyone looking for construction crew lodging anywhere in the country. If you need accommodation for yourself or your crews, we’re here to help.

You probably know all too well how cramped a hotel room can be after a few weeks. If you’re on a construction project for any length of time, there really is nothing like having a fully furnished apartment to stay in. You get more space, more freedom and room to breath after a hard day’s work.

There are many benefits to using corporate housing for your construction crews, here are just a few:

Benefits for Employers

If you run crews around the country, or even your state, you know how expensive it can be to have your team living in a hotel, even a cheap one. The effect on morale is significant as you’ll hear with the reaction you get when you tell them they are working away from home for a while!

Blu Corporate Housing’s crew housing uses the same high quality furnished housing as our corporate clients. They cost the same, enjoy the same high level of decoration, outfitting and locations. Plus, you can house several workers at once in each apartment, depending on the size.

They also offer significantly more living space than a hotel room and best of all, they cost much less. The average housing solution from Blu Corporate Housing costs up to 50 percent less than a comparable hotel room for stays of 30 days or more.

Giving your staff more space, more freedom and a higher standard of accommodation while they are away will only benefit you as an employer. You get happier, more productive staff who are more likely to stay loyal to someone who looks after them. Considering all these benefits cost less than a hotel, it’s a win win!

Benefits for Construction Crews

The crews themselves work hard, so will want to relax too. While hotels offer a lot, they are cramped, offer extremely varying levels of comfort, can be lonely and very boring. Hotels will charge you for everything, some TV channels, making calls, laundry and of course, your meals. While much of it will be covered by the company, some of it will not.

Blu’s construction crew lodging offers everything you would expect from a high class apartment, in good areas, with all the comforts of home. Depending on the size of the apartment, you could be sharing with your buddies or have it all to yourself.

The apartment is likely to have TV, maybe cable, a fully working kitchen, laundry and everything else you enjoy at home. If you were working away for a few weeks at a time, which would you rather have?

If you need construction crew housing anywhere in the country for periods of 30 days or more, contact us today. We’re here to help! You can also start your housing hunt by navigating our directory and finding your city.
