It’s worth checking availability as soon as you know the provisional number of people, the duration of the stay and the location of the site.

It’s worth booking project accommodation in Vaala and Utajärvi well in advance

In less densely populated project locations, there is a more limited supply of suitable accommodation than in the centre of a large city. Contacting us at an early stage gives us a better chance of finding a suitable solution for your team and coordinating the accommodation with the project schedule. We accommodate work groups for stays ranging from a single night to several months, offering accommodation in flats with 1–4 bedrooms and detached houses.

To start with, please send us the dates of your stay, the number of staff, their shifts and the address of the site. Please also let us know whether the whole group needs to stay at the same accommodation. You can find out more our project accommodation and examine accommodation options before requesting a quote. Final availability is always confirmed following contact.

Effective project accommodation combines suitable accommodation, a manageable commute and everyday services agreed in advance.

Spreading out accommodation options can shorten commutes

Looking for a single large accommodation site is not in the project’s best interests if staff are working at different sites or on different shifts. It may make sense to split accommodation between two sites, depending on the work teams’ tasks, vehicles and working hours. For example, an eight-person team could be split into two groups of four in the plan, provided that the availability of accommodation and the location of the site support this arrangement.

Decentralisation requires a clear division of responsibilities. Appoint a contact person for each accommodation venue, agree on key management and specify which car each group will use. This ensures that staff changes, late arrivals and changing work shifts do not disrupt the whole team’s daily routine. Our customer support is available on WhatsApp round the clock to answer any questions regarding accommodation.

Project accommodation in Vaala and Utajärvi requires a transport plan

Long distances are reflected in the total length of the working day. According to information from the municipality of Vaala According to the information provided, the municipal centre is approximately 90 kilometres from both Oulu and Kajaani. Utajärvi Municipality It states that the distance to Oulu is approximately 58 kilometres and to Kajaani approximately 120 kilometres. Transport to the site should therefore be planned in accordance with work shifts, rather than only on the first day of work.

Even a small deviation adds up. If the chosen route adds 20 minutes to the journey in each direction, one car will accumulate 3 hours and 20 minutes of extra driving time over five working days. With two cars, the total is 6 hours and 40 minutes. We organise transfers from Oulu Airport and the railway station to accommodation venues. Car hire is also available for guests, which makes it easier to organise daily commutes.

Catering and cleaning services help keep a long shift under control

Meal arrangements should be tailored to the work rota and the facilities available at your chosen accommodation. Before you arrive, check the cooking facilities, cold storage and the nearest shops. Agree on shared shopping days for the team or divide the responsibility for shopping between different work groups. Being prepared reduces unnecessary journeys and makes evening and weekend work easier.

For longer stays, cleanliness affects both the comfort of the accommodation and teamwork within the group. We provide cleaning services for your accommodation, as well as express deliveries of supplies and small items, for example. If you agree on a service schedule before the work period begins, staff won’t have to sort out day-to-day arrangements in the middle of the project. Send us the details via the contact form, and we’ll put together a proposal tailored to your needs.
