Project-site housing

Workforce RV Housing: On-Site Crew Housing for Construction and Infrastructure Projects

Agile RV Housing deploys fully equipped RV housing directly on construction and infrastructure project sites across the lower 48 states. Units arrive delivered, leveled, and utility-connected, with month-to-month terms from a 30-day minimum through multi-year project durations. We currently support project-site deployments including multi-unit configurations for crews of 10 or more.

Which floorplans work for long-term workforce housing

Layout selection is the single biggest driver of whether crew housing works over a multi-month deployment. Short stays tolerate almost any configuration. Stays measured in months do not. The categories below cover nearly every project we place, and we match units to the crew structure rather than the other way around.

Private-bedroom floorplans for supervisors and long-rotation staff

Superintendents, site supervisors, and staff on long rotations need a sleeping quarter that closes off from the living area. A private-bedroom floorplan provides a separated bedroom with a door and a full residential bathroom rather than a wet bath. Over a stay of several months, that separation is what makes the unit function as housing instead of lodging — someone coming off a night shift can sleep while the rest of the unit is in use.

Bunkhouse layouts for crews

Bunkhouse layouts maximize sleeping capacity per unit. They dedicate a section of the floorplan to stacked sleeping positions while retaining a full kitchen and a full bathroom, so a crew sharing one unit still cooks, showers, and does laundry on site. Bunkhouse configurations bring down the per-person housing cost on larger crews and reduce the number of utility connections a site has to support.

Two-bedroom, two-bath units for shared occupancy

Two-bedroom, two-bath units are the most requested configuration for multi-month deployments. Two workers share one unit with their own bedroom and their own bathroom, which removes the friction that causes crew housing complaints on long jobs. It is a practical middle point between the cost efficiency of a bunkhouse and the privacy of a dedicated unit, and it scales cleanly: five units house ten people without anyone sharing a bathroom.

Selection criteria for long-term livability

Beyond the layout itself, four features decide whether a unit holds up over months of occupancy. A residential refrigerator means crews buy groceries weekly instead of daily. On-site washer and dryer availability keeps work clothing manageable without a laundromat run at the end of a shift. A dedicated workspace area — a desk, a dinette that functions as one, or a converted bunk space — gives supervisors somewhere to handle plans, submittals, and daily reports. And four-season insulation with enclosed underbellies and heated tanks is required for any deployment that runs through cold weather; see winter RV housing for how cold-weather units are prepared.

We describe layout categories rather than steering every project to one model. The right mix on a 20-person job is usually a blend: private units for site leadership, two-bedroom units for paired staff, and bunkhouses for the crew.

Site logistics: how multi-unit deployments work

Delivery and leveling

Each unit is towed in, positioned, leveled, and stabilized. On a multi-unit deployment, delivery is sequenced so units arrive in the order the site can accept them rather than all at once. Our drivers assess ground conditions, turning radius, overhead lines, and access gates before placement, and we coordinate with the site contractor on any grading or pad work required ahead of arrival.

Utility coordination

Power, water, and sewer are coordinated across the full group of units rather than one at a time. That means confirming amperage capacity for the whole deployment, planning water distribution, and selecting a sewer approach — direct connection where available, or scheduled holding tank service where it is not. The mechanics are the same as a single-unit placement, just planned at group scale; see RV utility setup for the detail on each connection type.

Spacing and access planning

Unit spacing is planned with the site contractor so housing does not conflict with laydown areas, equipment traffic, or the active work zone. We look at emergency access lanes, parking for personal vehicles, walking routes between housing and the site, and separation between units for utility runs and basic livability. This planning happens before the first unit is dispatched.

Scheduled service during the deployment

Units are serviced on a schedule for the length of the deployment. That includes routine maintenance, any holding tank pumping, and response to issues raised by the site. A long deployment will produce maintenance needs — the point of scheduled service is that they are handled by us rather than becoming a project manager's problem.

Contract structures

Terms are month-to-month from a 30-day minimum. Projects rarely finish on the date the schedule says they will, so the term extends month by month for as long as the site needs housing — through multi-month durations and multi-year project terms.

Pricing is all-inclusive on a monthly basis. One monthly figure per unit covers the unit itself, delivery, setup, and pickup at the end of the deployment. There is no separate mobilization line, no setup fee invoiced after the fact, and no demobilization charge at closeout. On multi-unit deployments, the per-unit rate is quoted for the specific configuration mix the project needs.

Invoicing is structured for prime contractors and project billing. We issue consolidated monthly invoices that can be coded to a project or cost code, itemized by unit where the project requires it, and formatted to move through a general contractor's accounts payable process without rework. Purchase order references and project numbers are carried on every invoice.

Insurance and government work

Alongside project-site crew housing, Agile RV Housing serves insurance-displaced homeowners whose homes are under repair after a covered loss. Those placements are billed directly to the carrier under Additional Living Expense or Loss of Use coverage. The fleet, delivery network, and service operation are the same ones that support workforce deployments — see insurance-paid RV housing for how that side of the business works.

We also support government-adjacent project housing requirements, where crews working on publicly funded infrastructure need on-site accommodation for the duration of the work. Requirements on that work tend to center on documentation, invoicing format, and predictable service during the deployment, all of which are standard parts of how we operate.
