Why is Construction Site Accommodation Important?
Construction site accommodation has a variety of functions, each as vital as the last for ensuring employee comfort and productivity.
With staff on-site for potentially extended periods of time during construction projects, access to facilities such as toilets, break rooms and other hygiene amenities is imperative, whilst administration staff also need comfortable office space to work effectively.
Without these site welfare cabin facilities, you could find yourself in breach of the Health and Safety Executive’s Welfare at Work guidelines.
Our process
Step 01 – Design phase
Initially, we’ll visit your site to determine any access restrictions and gather information on your preferences and specifications. Armed with all the relevant information, we’ll create your bespoke quote. With this agreed, we can then move to creating your designs, giving you a snapshot of what your site welfare units will look like.
Step 02 – Planning and compliance
The final roadblock before we can begin manufacturing your accommodation is to apply for the relevant planning permissions, which will take around 8-12 weeks. As part of our turnkey solution, we can handle this step for you, expediting your production process.
Step 03 – Groundworks and manufacturing
Once your local planning authority has granted permission, we’ll get to work piecing together your new modular buildings. While construction takes place at our facility, our groundwork team will visit your site to prepare it for installation, reducing your lead time.
Step 04 – Installation
With your structures complete and groundworks in place, our expert delivery team will then transport and install your accommodation at your specified location.
Step 05 – Snagging and Handover
This final stage of the process involves tackling any snagging tasks before we hand you the keys to your new accommodations. Once this is sorted, your cabins are all yours!

Why Choose MPB?
Since our founding in 2005, we have refined our modular building process, and now produce some of the best quality temporary accommodation available anywhere in the UK.
Built from premium materials including C24 grade timber, non-flammable steel and plastisol, Firestone Building Products’ roof blankets, thorough cavity insulation, LOT20-compliant heaters, low smoke and fume cabling and 10-point multi-locking steel doors, our modular buildings (including anti-vandal and portable cabins) are built to provide long-lasting, year-round comfort for your teams.
We refrain from cutting corners when it comes to construction and materials, holding your comfort, satisfaction and safety in the highest regard.
We have also developed a streamlined design and manufacturing process that drastically reduces lead times by conducting factory construction and groundworks simultaneously, meaning we can offer high quality accommodation in a fraction of the time.
4 Benefits of Construction Site Welfare Cabins
1. Greater Adaptability
Traditional brick and mortar buildings require long construction times and prolonged disruption at your site. Our modular building process alleviates all aspects of this, as your accommodation will be constructed at our facility whilst the groundworks are being laid at your site before we conduct a swift installation and preparation process. As a result, you’ll benefit from drastically reduced disruptions and shortened lead times.
2. A Cost-Effective Solution
When your project is complete, your modular construction site cabins can simply be disconnected from any attached utilities, lifted and transported to the next location, ready to be used again. These highly durable structures can see you through years of work, site after site.
Not only is this much better for the environment, but it also saves your project budget as you’ll only be paying for transportation and reinstallation, rather than a fresh set of cabins every time you relocate. You could also save further money by opting for used accommodation or, if you only need the site welfare units for a short while, you can simply hire your accommodation, reducing your long-term financial commitments.
3. Improved Safety
As an employer, it’s your responsibility to safeguard your staff while they’re on-site, including providing site welfare units ‘So far as is reasonably practicable’, even on temporary worksites. This means the provision of adequate toilet and breakroom facilities, and even showers for particularly dirty work environments.
Aside from providing these basics, you’ll also need to make sure facilities are of a standard that doesn’t promote health risks related to damp, cold or fire hazards.
4. Increased Productivity
Providing comfortable, well-equipped facilities for your employees is proven to boost morale and productivity across the board, but particularly in the case of your site managers and supervisors who need a quiet, comfortable environment and access to desk space to complete their work.
With the right facilities, you can noticeably improve the productivity of your whole workforce. MPB’s range of construction site cabins can help you provide safe, comprehensive and productivity boosting amenities and workspaces for your staff.
Site Welfare Cabins: FAQs
What is a construction site cabin?

What size do building site cabins come in?
Our cabins come in a range of size from 12’ x 10’ up to 40’ x 20’. The most popular sizes for construction sites are 20’ x 10’ and 32’ x 10’.
Are the cabins insulated and weatherproof?
Yes, our construction site cabins are fully insulated and designed to be weatherproof, making them suitable for year‑round use in the UK.
Most modern site cabins are built with insulated wall panels, roofs, and floors, which help regulate internal temperatures and maintain comfort in both hot and cold conditions. This insulation also improves energy efficiency when heating or cooling systems are in use.
Weatherproof features typically include:
- Steel external walls and roof panels designed to withstand wind, rain, and snow
- Insulated panels to reduce heat loss and prevent condensation
- Sealed windows and doors to keep out draughts and moisture
- Raised bases to protect against standing water and uneven ground
When fitted with heating, ventilation, or air conditioning, insulated site cabins provide a comfortable internal environment for offices, welfare facilities, meeting rooms, and storage—regardless of the weather.
In short, cabins are robust, insulated, and built to handle harsh site conditions, ensuring protection for both occupants and equipment throughout the year.
Do site cabins come furnished or unfurnished?
Site cabins can come furnished with chairs, tables, benches, lockers, coat pegs etc. for additional cost.
Do I need planning permission for a construction site cabin?
Construction site cabins are typically considered temporary structures, which means planning permission is often unnecessary if:
- The cabin is directly related to active construction work on the site
- It will be removed once the project is complete
- It is used for site offices, welfare facilities, storage, or meeting rooms
- The installation does not permanently alter the land
You may need planning permission if:
- The cabin remains on site after construction has finished
- It is intended for long-term or permanent use
- The site is within a conservation area, Green Belt, or near a listed building
- The cabin is used for purposes unrelated to the construction project
- Local council policies place specific restrictions on temporary buildings
How are site cabins delivered and installed?
Typically, site cabins are delivered via HIAB lorries and lifted into place. On occasion, they will be delivered via an articulated lorry and lifted into place via a mobile crane. This will depend on access to the desired site of the cabin.
In most cases, no permanent foundations are required.
- Cabins are placed on:
- Concrete pads
- Paving slabs
- Steel jacking legs
- Pre‑cast blocks
- The ground must be:
- Firm
- Level
- Capable of supporting the cabin’s weight
This keeps the installation temporary and avoids permanent alteration of the land.
