The onsite housing playbook that top mining, energy, and infrastructure projects already use. 9 pages, no fluff.

• Hotel and per-diem housing runs $120–$250 per worker per day. Modular onsite runs $40–$80.
• Turnover runs 35–50% without onsite housing, versus 15–25% with it.
• A West Texas operation housed 150 workers at $28,000 per worker and held 95% retention for the full project.
• 180 miles is the average distance from site to the nearest city on a major remote project.
• 60% of data center operators report difficulty hiring; AI infrastructure alone is expected to create 4.7 million temporary construction jobs.
• Modular housing is a depreciable, relocatable, resalable asset, not an expense-only line item like hotel nights.
