Why a HouseMe Transportable Home is the Smartest Move for Workers’ Accommodation (And why your staff will thank you for it.)

Hiring good people is hard. Keeping them? Even harder.
That’s why more smart employers around New Zealand are investing in HouseMe transportable homes to house their teams — whether it’s seasonal workers, tradies, or long-term staff in remote locations.

Here’s why our units are quickly becoming the go-to solution for workers’ accommodation — and how they can make your life easier too.

1. Easier to Recruit and Retain Good Staff

Offer decent accommodation, and suddenly, your hiring process gets a whole lot smoother.
Decent housing means you attract better people and keep them longer. No one wants to work hard all day, then go home to a cold, leaky hut.

With a HouseMe home, your staff get warm, dry, modern living, and you get happier, more loyal workers. It’s a win-win.

2. Long-Term Stability, Less Turnover

People stick around when they feel looked after.
When you provide a quality living space, it sends a clear message: you value your team. Staff satisfaction goes up, and turnover goes down.

Our customers often report improved productivity and longer staff tenure, all just from upgrading the digs.

3. An Affordable Upgrade from That Old Farmhouse or Dingy Flat

Let’s be honest: some of the old accommodation stock out there is a bit rough.
Replacing it doesn’t need to break the bank.

HouseMe units are a fixed-price solution, and they’re easy to insure. You know the cost upfront, no curveballs.
Plus, they’re built tough with robust materials that stand up to NZ’s wind, rain, and rowdy weekends.

4. Built by Kiwis, for Kiwis

We’re not importing knock-off flatpacks or building with cheap gear.
Every HouseMe unit is designed and constructed right here in NZ, by locals who know what it takes to handle our conditions.
Whether it's Taranaki wind or Canterbury frost, our homes don’t flinch.

5. Delivered Direct, Fast, and Future-Proof

Our homes are hand-delivered to your site, ready to go.
No endless construction delays. No dealing with half a dozen tradies.

• 6–8 week lead time
• Built to code with CCC (Code Compliance Certificate) on all homes
• And if things change? You can uplift it and relocate it. Seriously. Pick it up and move it.

That flexibility is gold. Whether you expand, downsize, or just want to shift your team to a new location, your investment moves with you.

6. It Boosts Your Reputation

Providing clean, modern accommodation reflects well on your brand or business.
Word gets out. Workers talk. So do competitors.

Companies using HouseMe homes often find they get an edge, not just with staff, but with stakeholders, partners, and even regulators.

So, Why HouseMe?

• Fast turnaround
