Corporate housing for engineering and manufacturing
Plant launch, supplier and commissioning teams housed near the site rather than downtown.
What the work needs from the housing
- Near the plant
- Minutes from the gate, not forty-five from downtown. The commute is the first filter on every option.
- Parking for trucks
- Space for work trucks and trailers confirmed per building before the option is sent.
- Shift-friendly buildings
- Buildings that don’t fight a 5am departure or a day sleeper on nights.
- Shared units by choice
- Two- and three-bedroom units for crews that want to share; separate doors for those that don’t.
- Per-diem compliant rates
- Monthly rates documented to sit inside travel policy without exception approvals.
Why apartments, not hotels.
Living space
One room. Bed, desk, bathroom.
A whole apartment: separate bedroom, living room, kitchen, usually a washer and dryer.
Cost over a month or more
A nightly rate on every night, plus lodging tax, parking and meals out.
A monthly rate, usually lower per night, with utilities and Wi-Fi in and occupancy tax reduced or exempt in many jurisdictions.
Keeping the team together
Rooms spread across whichever floors are free that night.
The crew housed together near the site, sharing rides to the gate, with shared units where the crew wants them.
Privacy
Sleeping, working and taking calls in the same room.
After a twelve-hour shift, a front door of your own — not a room next to the elevator on whatever floor was free.
Length of stay
By the night, re-booked as the project runs on.
From a couple of weeks to a year or longer, with extension and early-exit terms agreed up front.
Paperwork
A folio per room per stay for finance to reconcile.
One contract and one monthly invoice for the whole requirement, itemised by unit.
Typical stay lengths and unit mix
- Stay
- 3 weeks to a year
- Unit mix
- 2BR and 3BR shared, some 1BRs
- Where
- Around the plants: Dearborn, Warren, Troy and Southfield in metro Detroit, and the industrial corridors of the other metros we source.
- Extensions
- Open-ended where the commissioning schedule is. Rotation name-changes handled mid-stay without touching the contract.
