Temporary accommodation for Local Authorities: Supporting efficient project delivery
Local Authorities operate in a demanding environment. Tight budgets, ambitious Net Zero targets and increasing public scrutiny all place pressure on teams to deliver projects efficiently, safely and to a high standard.
In this context, site accommodation is a critical operational component of any project. The cabins and welfare units you procure directly impact workforce wellbeing, site safety, programme continuity and public perception. Getting this right from the outset helps projects run smoothly and reduces the risk of disruption once work is underway.
At Wernick Hire, we work closely with Local Authorities and public sector contractors to provide reliable, high-quality cabins and welfare solutions that support project delivery while remaining practical, compliant and cost-effective.
Reducing risk through a modern, well-maintained fleet
Risk management is central to public sector delivery. Accommodation failures on site, whether due to poor condition, unreliable systems or unsuitable layouts, can lead to downtime, safety concerns and avoidable costs.
That’s why Wernick Hire invests heavily in a modern, well-maintained fleet of cabins and welfare units. Our approach prioritises reliability and performance, helping to reduce the likelihood of breakdowns or call-outs during a project.
A modern fleet offers clear benefits:
- Improved reliability, reducing disruption on site
- Lower maintenance requirements, freeing up project management time
- Better working conditions, supporting staff wellbeing and productivity
From office cabins and welfare units to toilets, drying rooms and secure storage, our accommodation is designed to meet the practical demands of Local Authority projects.
Nationwide coverage with local service
Local Authority projects often span varied locations, from urban centres to rural sites. Consistency of service and accommodation quality is essential, regardless of geography.
With 28 depots across the UK, Wernick Hire combines nationwide capacity with strong local support. Our local depot teams understand regional requirements and logistics, enabling:
- Faster delivery and installation
- Responsive support throughout the hire period
- Consistent accommodation standards across all sites
This structure allows Local Authorities to work with a single, trusted supplier while benefiting from local accountability and service.
Supporting sustainability and Net Zero commitments
Sustainability is now a core consideration in public sector procurement. Temporary accommodation plays a role in helping Local Authorities meet environmental objectives without compromising operational needs.
Wernick Hire offers a range of energy-efficient cabins and welfare units, including our GreenSpace eco-cabins, designed to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions on site. By selecting more efficient accommodation, councils can demonstrate measurable progress towards Net Zero targets from the early stages of a project.
Flexible solutions for different departments
Local Authorities support a wide range of services, each with distinct accommodation requirements. Flexibility is essential.
Our cabins and welfare units support projects across multiple departments, including:
Education
Housing & Regeneration
Welfare and office cabins for contractors working on housing upgrades
Environmental & Public Services
Welfare facilities for maintenance and operational teams
Emergency & Reactive Works
Rapid deployment cabins to support urgent community needs
Our hire fleet allows accommodation to be scaled, adapted or relocated as projects evolve.
Simplifying procurement with a single supplier
Managing multiple suppliers can add unnecessary complexity to public sector projects. Wernick Hire simplifies this by providing a complete cabins and welfare solution from one supplier.
In addition to accommodation units, we can supply:
- Furniture and internal fit-out
- Power, heating and lighting
- Connectivity and site accessories
Our flexible hire terms are designed to align with public sector funding cycles, helping Local Authorities manage costs effectively across both short-term and longer-term projects.
A practical partner for Public Sector projects
High-quality cabins and welfare units are an essential part of successful Local Authority projects. They support safe working environments, reduce operational risk and contribute to sustainability objectives.
With a modern fleet, nationwide depot network and experience working with the public sector, Wernick Hire is well placed to support your next project.
