Employee Housing, How To Keep It Affordable Five Easy Tips

You have a school district or clinic 50 miles from the next closest town, and all the surrounding land is federal or tribal so the question arises- Where will our employees live?

How can we keep our employees local and give them good living facilities - the answer is easy!
Build modular housing.

The oil and gas & railroad industries have been building remote housing and recreational facilities for their employees for years. The difference between those industries and education or medical housing is that a large majority of educational and medical staff are married with children. The old "bunkhouse" mentality does not work for this type of employee housing. A general study has proven that absenteeism and job hopping has been lowered by having affordable and attractive housing available on site for the employees.

FIVE EASY TIPS:
1. Keep the housing near the clinic or school. By using existing infrastructure you can keep the costs lower and employees will be minutes from work.
2. Design multiple plans. By accommodating 1,2,&3 br footprints you are able to save space when a smaller family is hired and have ample room for larger families. Some of our clients even choose single family homes so if a really large family moves in they can have sufficient space.
3. Don't be afraid to "GO-UP". Multistory facilities can save land use if you are in an area where available space is tight.
4. Keep it simple. When you choose prefabricated, try to find "existing" plans to work with. Sometimes creating custom or special order plans are fun, but can cost more money than choosing designs that have worked for other employee housing locations.
5. Build housing that is sustainable, green and that has extended life cycle. An employee looks at the total cost to stay, and high utility bills are a contributing factor. By designing smart and helping the environment you will build a community that will last and be attractive for many generations to come.

This is a highly specialized type of construction and has many unique qualities that have to be included in the construction & design of a new modular dialysis clinic.

Five tips for building a better modular clinic

Planning a clinic? Modular buildings are fast becoming the method of choice for this type of facility. Finding a modular company with medical construction experience is critical to the success of your project. Here are five easy tips to ensure your clinic will be a success, and open on time.

1. Make sure there are a set of construction standards that incorporate the health department requirements into the construction process and physical elements of design. Most agencies are building to the 2009 IBC or newer, look for this information in your specification details.
2. Ask for references in the modular medical field. A highly specialized field like medical clinics need a modular building factory and contractor that has experience building and designing medical facilities.
3. Know what you want. Come to a preconstruction meeting prepared with a list of items you want included in your new modular clinic facility, and see if the builder knows the products and brands.

4. Ask about what options are available. When you are building custom design-build you should have unlimited options and choices. By choosing a modular building company that can show you various elevations in BIM or share preliminary floor plans you will develop a relationship and trust with your contractor. Don't be willing to "settle"
5. Ask for a schedule. A huge part of getting your ROI is having the clinic open and ready for clients. By having a schedule in place you are able to work with your CEO and team to evaluate how quickly a modular clinic will start turning revenue.
