Near the big data centre projects

Working on data centre projects

Data centre building is one of the busiest kinds of construction work right now. Slough, West London and the Docklands already hold some of Europe’s biggest data centre clusters, and new campuses are going up from Waltham Cross to Newport. Five AI Growth Zones were named between January 2025 and January 2026: Culham in Oxfordshire, the North East around Blyth and Cobalt Park, North Wales on Anglesey and at Trawsfynydd, South Wales along the M4, and Lanarkshire. Big campuses such as QTS at Cambois, Elsham Tech Park and Equinix’s Hertfordshire Campus are planned to be built in phases over several years.

A campus is usually built in stages. Enabling works and piling come first, then the shell and core of each building. Mechanical and electrical fit-out follows, with power, cooling, cabling, fire protection and controls, and it is often the busiest stage on site. Commissioning tests every system before handover, and then the next data hall starts. Once a site is running, it still needs maintenance crews, upgrades and expansions, so the work around a campus rarely stops.

On site you’ll find groundworkers, steel erectors, electricians, mechanical fitters and pipefitters, cablers, controls and fire engineers, commissioning engineers and project teams. Many travel from job to job, working long shifts and rotations, and the headcount rises and falls as each phase peaks and ends. QTS, for example, expects about 1,200 construction jobs at Cambois.

Finding somewhere to stay is often the hard part. Campuses sit on business parks, by motorways or on old power station and airfield sites, where hotels are few, busy or a long drive away. Crews need beds for weeks or months, room to stay together, a kitchen to cook in after a long shift, and space for vans and tools, with the option to add homes when the fit-out peaks.

How Nezt helps

  • Hotels near the site are full or far away

    Send a free request with the site, dates and headcount. Hosts with a home within 15 miles send offers, typically within 8 minutes.

  • The crew grows at the fit-out peak

    Book several homes close together, and send another request whenever more people join the job.

  • Programmes run for months

    Stay from a night to several months. Stays of 60 nights or more can be paid monthly, and many hosts offer weekly or monthly discounts.

  • Hotel bills add up for a whole crew

    Homes on Nezt are on average 25% cheaper than Airbnb and other booking sites, and a whole house splits the cost across the crew.

  • The company needs proper paperwork

    Companies get an invoice in the company’s name, so bookings are easy to put through the books.

  • Vans, kit and questions before you book

    Each listing shows its parking and cancellation policy, and you can message the host first. Our team can help by phone, WhatsApp or email.

Questions people ask

How do I book accommodation for a data centre crew?

Search by location and number of guests and book a listed place straight away, or send a free request with your dates, headcount and where the site is. Hosts with a home within 15 miles send you offers, often within minutes. For bigger crews, book several places close together.

Can the whole crew stay in one house?

Many places on Nezt are whole houses that sleep 6 or more. Set the number of guests when you search to see places with room for everyone, or book several homes close together for a bigger crew.

Can we add or release homes as the headcount or programme changes?

You can send another request or book more homes whenever the crew grows, for example at the peak of fit-out. Each place has its own cancellation policy, shown before you book, and you can message the host through Nezt at any time to ask about changing your dates.

Can you house a crew for a build that runs for months?

Yes. Stays run from a single night to several months, and many hosts offer weekly or monthly discounts. Stays of 60 nights or more can be paid monthly, so a long programme doesn’t mean paying for it all up front.

Can the company pay and get an invoice?

Yes. Companies get an invoice in the company’s name for their bookings, and stays of 60 nights or more can be paid monthly.

How fast will we get offers?

Hosts typically send offers within 8 minutes. A request is free, needs no payment details and stays open for 7 days, and each offer lasts 48 hours. It’s worth sending one even if nothing is listed near your site yet.

Is there accommodation near the big data centre projects?

Yes. There are places in Slough, Hayes and London for the West London clusters, Waltham Cross and Enfield for Google’s data centre, Newport and Cardiff for Vantage, Microsoft and the South Wales AI Growth Zone, Blyth and Newcastle for QTS at Cambois, Airdrie and Glasgow for Lanarkshire, Abingdon and Didcot for Culham, Bedford for Quest Park, Scunthorpe and Hull for Elsham Tech Park, and Holyhead for Prosperity Parc on Anglesey.

Do you have data center accommodation in the US and the Middle East?

Yes. There are places in Las Vegas, Reno, Atlanta, Northern Virginia, New Jersey and Abu Dhabi, and in cities around the world. If nothing is listed near your site yet, send a request and local hosts can send you offers.

Can you help with security-cleared sites?

The homes on Nezt are private homes from local hosts, and your company handles its own clearance for the site. If the crew needs anything particular from a place, message the host through Nezt before you book.

Is there parking for vans?

Each listing shows its parking, so you can check before you book. If you need space for several vans, message the host through Nezt to ask.
