Why the UK’s smartest house builders cut costs, not corners

Every house builder knows the pressure. Tighter margins, faster timelines, and a site that needs to run safely from day one. The last thing you need is equipment that lets you down, or a supplier who disappears once the order’s placed.

Garic are with you for the whole life of your project. From the first spade in the ground to the last unit off site.

Plan your site better, from the start

Before a single piece of equipment arrives, our site planning team can work with you to design the most efficient layout possible. We’ll help you make the most of every inch of your site, positioning welfare units, power generation and environmental solutions to keep your team safe, your workflow smooth, and your costs under control.

Good planning at the start can save real money throughout.  Find out more about our Expert Site Planning service here

 

Mobile welfare that moves with your build

House building sites don’t stand still, and neither should your welfare provision. Our mobile welfare units are built to relocate as your project progresses, so your team always has clean, comfortable, compliant facilities close to where they’re working.

From self-contained mobile welfare cabins with toilets, changing areas and drying rooms, to mobile offices and meeting rooms, we’ll make sure your workforce has everything they need, wherever they need it on site.

Static welfare for long-term site presence

For larger or longer-running developments, our static welfare units give you a more permanent, established base on site. Built to full welfare compliance standards, our static units offer spacious canteens, toilets, showers, drying rooms and office space. Everything your team needs to stay comfortable, compliant and focused on the job.

Whether you’re running a single phase development or a multi-phase housing scheme, we’ll specify the right static welfare solution to match your site’s needs and your programme’s timeline.

Welfare and energy working together

When you combine our welfare units with our integrated energy solutions, you don’t just get a comfortable site. You get a smarter, cheaper to run one.

Our accommodation  welfare units work alongside our energy generation systems to dramatically cut your reliance on diesel. Less fuel. Lower emissions. Smaller bills. We’ve helped sites cut their carbon footprint and their running costs at the same time, and we can do the same for you.

It’s not just good for your bottom line. With sustainability reporting becoming increasingly important across the construction sector, being able to demonstrate lower emissions on your housing developments matters more than ever.

One partner for every phase

From groundworks to handover, we’ll be there. Our dedicated site planners and account managers work with you throughout your project, not just at the start. As your site evolves, we’ll adapt your welfare and energy setup to match, making sure you’ve always got the right kit in the right place at the right cost.

We’re not just a supplier. We’re a partner who understands house building, the pressures, the timelines, and what it takes to keep a development moving.
