You arrive before the site exists
Groundworks is the trade that turns up when there is nothing there: no compound, no hardstanding, no power, no water, and frequently no gate worth the name. Everyone else inherits a site. You make one.
Which is why welfare that depends on a connection is useless to you. A self-contained towable unit is dragged in behind a pickup on day one, levelled on whatever standing you have made, and it works. No temporary supply application, no standpipe, no drainage.
The one thing to sort before we arrive is ground that will take the unit and the delivery vehicle without either sinking. Hardcore or plates, level and firm. Our guide on preparing your site for delivery covers what good looks like.
Jobs that move
Civils work rarely stays still. A drainage run, a bridge repair, a section of culvert, an S278 junction: the work face moves along the job and the welfare should move with it rather than leaving the gang with a ten minute walk each way.
Every unit in our fleet tows on its own axles, so relocating it is a visit, not a crane booking and a lift plan. Tell us at quote stage if you expect to move it and we will price that in rather than surprise you with it.
Gang of six
The BOXD-12: canteen, separate WC, drying room. Light enough to tow behind a 4x4 or a Transit.
Gang of ten
The BOXD-16: canteen plus a separate office for drawings, permits and inductions.
Twelve at peak
The BOXD-20: full canteen and office, still towable rather than lifted.
Winter work
Diesel heating and a drying room, which on a January drainage job is the difference between a crew that comes back after dinner and one that does not.
The paperwork side
Principal contractors on civils work tend to ask for welfare arrangements in the pre-start pack, not after the fact. Units are supplied with risk assessment information at handover, servicing is logged against the unit, and our insurances, policies and assessments are published on our compliance page so a supply chain team can check before a first hire.
Units are designed and equipped to support Schedule 2 of CDM 2015. What your site needs, and providing it, stays with the employer or principal contractor.
