Energy sector projects rarely run on short timelines. Whether supporting renewables, grid upgrades, oil and gas infrastructure, or power generation, teams are often deployed for months at a time. Yet many organisations still default to hotels for workforce accommodation.
Corporate housing is built specifically for this type of long-duration, project-led demand.
For energy companies operating across the UK and Europe, corporate housing delivers cost control, operational simplicity, and a genuine home-from-home environment for engineers and technical teams. Here is why it works.
Corporate Housing Controls Long-Term Accommodation Costs
Energy projects can span 8, 12, or even 24 weeks. Booking hotels for that duration significantly increases spend.
Hotels typically involve:
• Fluctuating nightly rates
• Additional charges for parking and laundry
• Increased meal expenses due to limited cooking facilities
• Separate billing for each room
Corporate housing replaces daily pricing with structured weekly or monthly rates. With Red Steps, every property is all-inclusive, covering utilities, WiFi, and council tax in one transparent invoice.
For extended deployments, this can reduce accommodation costs by up to 50% compared to hotels.

Designed for Rotational and Multi-Phase Projects
Energy sector projects often operate in phases. Teams rotate in and out. Deadlines shift. Extensions are common.
Corporate housing offers flexibility aligned with operational realities:
• Medium and long-term stays
• Adjustable booking extensions
• Properties located near project sites
• Dedicated accommodation not shared with strangers
Instead of relocating teams between hotels due to availability changes, companies secure stable housing that supports continuity.

One Point of Contact Across Regions
Energy companies frequently operate across multiple locations simultaneously.
Managing hotels in different cities or countries can lead to:
• Fragmented communication
• Multiple invoices
• Inconsistent service standards
• Delays resolving issues
Corporate housing centralises accommodation under one provider.
With Red Steps, clients benefit from:
• A dedicated account manager
• One agreement covering multiple properties
• One invoice
• One escalation route
Whether your team is mobilising in Aberdeen, Manchester, Birmingham, or across mainland Europe, accommodation is coordinated through a single, accountable contact.
Supporting Workforce Well-Being and Performance
Energy sector roles can involve long shifts and demanding environments. Accommodation plays a direct role in morale and productivity.
Corporate housing provides:
• Spacious living areas
• Fully equipped kitchens
• Private bedrooms
• Laundry facilities
• Reliable high-speed WiFi
Instead of isolated hotel rooms, teams share comfortable spaces where they can unwind, prepare meals, and recharge.
This home-from-home environment supports retention, reduces fatigue, and contributes to stronger project performance.
Scalable Across the UK and Europe
Energy projects are not confined to one region. From offshore wind developments to grid upgrades and infrastructure modernisation, deployment is geographically diverse.
Red Steps provides:
• UK-wide corporate housing coverage
• European workforce accommodation solutions
• Access to 1,000s of fully furnished properties
• End-to-end management from booking to check-out
This scalability allows energy companies to mobilise quickly without restarting the sourcing process in each location.
