From empty to occupied by crews in Newtownabbey.
Project teams working across Northern Ireland need homes with parking and separate beds. An owner in Newtownabbey with the right property can host them.
The guests
Guests on a job in Antrim
Working guests are people away from home for the job: crews on a construction programme, engineers on a maintenance contract, fit-out teams and project staff on secondment. They stay for the length of the work and they need somewhere practical to come back to each evening.
The people who stay are the ones delivering projects: new buildings, road and rail upgrades, factory refits and maintenance contracts. The work moves around the country and so do they.
What suits
The Newtownabbey property checklist for crews
Good broadband is not optional. Site managers and engineers report in every evening. A crew will notice a weak connection before anything else.
Beds come first: singles or twins for crews who would rather not share, with enough of them for the whole team. A sofa bed does not count as a bed on a working booking.
Durable, easy-clean furnishing suits working guests. Workwear, boots and early starts are part of the stay, so the house needs to take it in its stride.

Consents and certificates in Newtownabbey
A house that sleeps more people needs more thought about fire safety. Detection, escape routes and fire doors should suit the number of guests the house takes.
Consents come first. If there is a mortgage, the lender needs to agree to the use in writing. The insurance has to cover short and mid-length stays.
