Jobsite facilities for construction projects in Canada
Plan jobsite facilities around your workforce and daily tasks. Arrange toilets, proper washing, drinking water and rest facilities before the team starts. Add changing, drying and showers where the work requires them, then get the complete installation and servicing quoted.
Which facilities does your team need?
Jobsite facilities bring together the spaces used by teams to change, eat, wash and, depending on the project, work in an office. Start with the uses and the number of people present at the same time.
Mobile team
A portable jobsite unit
For a towable mobile unit or a building moved by truck, specify movement frequency and available services. Check the transport method and what is self-contained: toilets, water storage, electricity or heating.
Existing installation
An additional module
Add an office, change rooms or toilets to the available facilities. Describe what already exists to avoid duplicating equipment.
In the quote, ask for furniture, heating, ventilation, hot water and kitchen equipment to be itemized. The term 'equipped module' alone does not tell you the exact contents.
What should a jobsite facilities quote include?
No verified Canadian jobsite facility rental or purchase price sample is published here. Ask for the configuration and services your site actually needs; a dry shipping-container price is not a jobsite facility price.
Equipment
Specify the exact units, usable facilities, fittings and capacity for the proposed workforce and working hours.
Ready for use
Include delivery, offloading, supports, assembly, water and drainage arrangements, electricity and commissioning before work starts.
Throughout the project
Price cleaning, consumables, tank emptying and water replenishment, maintenance, emergency replacement and final pickup.
Ask for the charge period, applicable sales taxes, minimum rental, extension and notice terms, and every delivery or pickup charge. Commercial rental terms do not change the requirement to provide suitable site facilities from the start and throughout the work.
The facilities to have ready from day one
Choose the rules for the province or territory and the type of work; federally regulated workplaces have their own regime. Confirm facilities before work starts and maintain them throughout the project.
Accessible, sanitary toilets
Determine toilet type, numbers, privacy and accessibility under the applicable worksite rules. Requirements can depend on workforce and activity.
Specify: State peak headcount, shifts, location, safe access, cleaning, servicing, waste removal and winter operation.
Handwashing and task-specific hygiene
Provide the washing arrangements required for the site and tasks, including suitable water, soap and hygienic drying. Check local running-water and warm-water rules and any exceptions.
Specify: Identify water supply, heating, drainage and freeze protection. Assess showers or specialist decontamination for hazardous work.
Safe drinking water
Arrange potable water appropriate to the work and conditions. Protect drinking supplies from contamination.
Specify: Assign supply, storage, replenishment and cleaning. Plan for remote sites, summer heat and freezing conditions.
Changing and clothing storage
Assess changing, storage and drying for the workforce and hazards under the applicable occupational health and safety rules.
Specify: Allow for winter clothing, wet gear and contaminated protective equipment, with suitable privacy and separate clean storage.
Meals, breaks and shelter
Plan clean areas for meals and breaks with shelter and suitable temperature control. Confirm any specific local requirements.
Specify: State simultaneous users, furniture, safe heating, ventilation and cleaning. Keep food separate from contaminated work materials.
Provincial examples apply only in their jurisdiction.

Enter the workforce and project details. Your choices will be saved in the quote form.
Guidelines for your project
Enter the workforce and duration to display the checklist.
Confirm the sanitation requirements for the site’s province or territory and industry. Provide and maintain the facilities required for the workforce throughout the project; this checklist does not certify compliance.
The checklist will appear here after entering at least one person and a valid duration.
Free, no-obligation request.
Your choices will be included in the quote. You will be able to specify the modules, connections and delivery. These guidelines do not replace validation of the site configuration.
The 4 points to clarify before delivery
A few details about your site will help prepare installation and avoid a quote that is missing items.
Access and lifting
Gate width, bends, overhead obstacles and distance between the truck and the module location. Include photos.
Ground conditions and siting
Location, level and supports to be approved, passages between modules, doors and team access.
Service connections
Available electricity, drinking water and drainage, distance to services and remaining work to plan. For off-grid use, specify filling and emptying.
Commissioning and maintenance
Who assembles, connects, checks and cleans? Also ask for clarification on toilet cleaning and removal at the end of the project.
Installation plan: information to requestExternal dimensions, rooms, openings and connection points.ExpandCollapse
Ask the supplier for a dimensioned drawing of the proposed configuration, in PDF or DWG if your team uses that format. Check the footprint of the modules, doors, access routes, connections and handling areas. Have the layout approved for the ground conditions and site organisation.
Prepare the site layout planRent or buy your site facilities?
Compare both options with the same rooms and equipment, over the intended period of use.
Rental for the site
Cost the rental rates, delivery and pickup, and included services. Ask about the minimum charge, extension terms and the notice period to arrange pickup.
Compare rental offersNew or used purchase
If you reuse the modules, factor in transport, storage and maintenance. For used units, check weathertightness, insulation, internal condition and electrical and plumbing installations.
Compare purchase offersThere is no universal duration after which purchase becomes more advantageous. Do the calculation for one project, then for the reuses you actually plan.
Prepare the rental period, contract and pickupWho is responsible for site facilities?
Identify the employer, constructor or prime contractor duties in the legislation governing the site. Ontario assigns construction hygiene duties to the constructor; British Columbia also assigns its specified-site washroom duties to the prime contractor at a workplace with multiple employers. These are jurisdiction-specific roles, not a single Canadian chain of responsibility.
Before work starts
Prepare functioning toilets, washing, drinking water and suitable break facilities, with safe access and cold-weather protection.
During the project
Assign checks, cleaning records where required, supplies, tank servicing and fault response. Reassess changing occupancy and shifts.
When moving or removing units
Maintain suitable facilities and plan safe disconnection, transport and waste disposal.
A short duration, small workforce or mobile work does not provide a general exemption. Existing facilities can be used only when the arrangement is suitable, agreed and available whenever workers need it. Renting equipment does not transfer all occupational health and safety responsibilities to the rental company.

Your questions about jobsite facilities
How much do jobsite facilities cost?
Request a quote for the selected facilities, duration, delivery, installation and servicing. This page does not publish a verified Canadian jobsite facility price sample. Compare identical equipment and the total charge through pickup, including applicable sales taxes.
How many modules should I plan for my team?
Enter the maximum number of people present at the same time, meals taken on site, change rooms, toilets and offices required. The number of modules depends on their layout and equipment. Use the calculator to prepare your request, then have the configuration confirmed for your site.
Can a mobile jobsite unit work without connections?
It depends on the model and equipment. A self-contained toilet does not mean the whole unit is self-contained. Ask for clarification on water and energy supply, drainage, stated autonomy and frequency of filling and emptying.
Does the price include delivery and connections?
Check the quote: transport, offloading, ground preparation, assembly and connections may be priced separately. For rental, also ask about pickup costs and cleaning and return conditions.
Can I buy used jobsite buildings?
Yes. Ask for the list of equipment and its condition, recent photos and the possibility of inspecting the modules. Compare the delivered and installed cost by adding any repairs or adaptations needed for your use.
