How does the MJ3 Relocations accommodation process work?

There are six stages: you tell us what you need, we work through the accommodation requirement with you, we source suitable options, you review and select the option you prefer, we coordinate the booking and move-in, and a point of contact remains available during the stay where applicable.

What information do you need to start?

For a project requirement: the site location, number of people, bedrooms, move-in date, expected duration, parking needs and the invoicing reference. For insurance alternative accommodation: the claim location, household size, bedrooms, preferred area, move-in date, expected duration, and anything specific such as pets, parking or accessibility.

What happens after I make an enquiry?

We come back to confirm the practical detail of the requirement, then source options that fit it. You receive the property detail, cost and booking terms for each option, and nothing is committed until you confirm which one you want to proceed with.

How far in advance should accommodation be requested?

The earlier the better, because it widens the choice of suitable property. Shorter-notice requirements are still worth sending, as availability varies by location and by when you ask; we will tell you what is realistic in that area rather than hold a request open.

Can you arrange accommodation for project teams?

Yes. A team can be housed as a whole property for a crew, or across several properties in the same area where numbers are too high for one house or people need their own space. Tell us how many people are staying and whether sharing is acceptable.

How does insurance alternative accommodation work?

The accommodation requirement is received from the insurer, loss adjuster or relocation provider arranging the placement, the household's needs are established, suitable options are sourced, the preferred option is confirmed, and move-in and the stay are coordinated. MJ3 Relocations sources and manages the accommodation only; we do not assess, approve or determine insurance claims or policy coverage.

How do I request a quote?

Send the requirement through the contact page, by email or by phone. Include the location, dates, number of people and any practical requirements, and we will come back with options and clear terms.

Our process

How MJ3 Relocations arranges accommodation

One straightforward process covers contractor accommodation, workforce and project accommodation, and insurance alternative accommodation across the UK. You share the requirement, we source options that fit it, you choose, and we coordinate the booking and the stay. This page sets out each stage, the information we need and what happens once accommodation is confirmed.

The process

Six stages, from requirement to end of stay.

The same sequence applies whether we are housing a crew mobilising to site or a household displaced by insured property damage. What changes is the detail we work through with you at stage two.

Step 1
Tell us what you need
Send the requirement by phone, email or the enquiry form. The location, how many people are staying, the intended start date and the likely length of stay are enough to begin.
Step 2
We understand the accommodation requirement
We come back with questions before we come back with property: travel time to site or to the household's normal area, bedrooms and sharing, parking, pets, access needs, and who the stay is invoiced to.
Step 3
We source suitable accommodation options
We look at our own managed properties and our partner network, then put forward what genuinely fits the brief. If something in the requirement is not realistic in that area, we say so rather than send unsuitable options.
Step 4
You review and select the preferred option
You see the practical detail for each option: property type, sleeping arrangements, parking, what is included, the cost and the booking terms. Nothing is committed until you confirm which option you want.
Step 5
Booking and move-in are coordinated
We confirm the property, dates, rate and terms in writing, prepare the property for arrival, and arrange access and check-in details for whoever is staying.
Step 6
Support continues during the stay
A point of contact remains available through the stay for questions, maintenance issues, changes of occupant, extensions and invoicing queries, where applicable to the booking.

Two pathways

The same process, two different briefs.

Contractor, workforce and project accommodation

Used by construction, engineering and infrastructure companies housing contractors, employees, subcontractors, workforces and project teams away from home. At stage two we work through the practical points that decide the choice of property: the project or site location and realistic travel time to it, how many people are staying, the dates and expected duration, bedrooms and whether sharing is acceptable, parking for cars and work vans, and anything else that matters, such as shift patterns or somewhere to store tools.

Options are presented with the cost and booking terms, and invoicing is set up to the company, purchase order or project reference you tell us to use.

Insurance alternative accommodation

When a household cannot live at home after fire, flood, escape of water or similar insured damage, the accommodation requirement usually reaches us from an insurer, loss adjuster, claims handler or relocation provider. We establish what the household actually needs — bedrooms, area, schools, pets, parking, accessibility — source suitable options, confirm the preferred option, coordinate move-in, and stay available through the placement where applicable.

MJ3 Relocations provides accommodation support only. We do not assess, approve or determine insurance claims, and we do not decide policy coverage; those remain with the insurer and the appointed adjuster.

What information we need.

Nothing here is compulsory to make an enquiry. The more of it we have at the start, the closer the first set of options will be to what you actually need.

Contractor and workforce requirements

Project or site location
Number of people staying
Bedrooms required, and whether sharing is acceptable
Required move-in date
Expected duration of the stay
Parking requirements, including vans or fleet vehicles
Any other practical requirements, such as shift patterns or storage
The billing entity, purchase order or project reference for invoicing

Insurance alternative accommodation requirements

The current property or claim location
Number of occupants in the household
Bedrooms required
Preferred area, for schools, work or family
Required move-in date
Expected duration, based on the reinstatement programme
Pets
Parking
Accessibility or mobility requirements
Any other household requirements relevant to the placement

After booking

What happens once accommodation is confirmed.

Move-in arrangements

Arrival details, access arrangements and check-in information are confirmed ahead of the start date, and the property is prepared before the first night.

Accommodation information

Whoever is staying receives the practical detail for the property, along with how to reach us if something needs attention.

Communication during the stay

A point of contact remains available for questions, issues and day-to-day coordination, where applicable to the booking.

Changes and extensions

Extensions, changes of occupant and adjustments to the requirement can be considered, subject to suitable accommodation, availability and the agreed terms.

When things change

Requirements rarely stay exactly as first described.

Both pathways move once they are underway, so the process assumes change rather than treating it as an exception.

Project requirements

Programme dates move, so the start or end of a stay moves with them
Workforce numbers go up or down as the job progresses
Stays need extending beyond the original booking period

Insurance requirements

Reinstatement timelines change once works are underway
The household's requirements change during the placement
The overall length of the accommodation period changes

Changes are considered on their merits: extensions, changes of occupant, different numbers or a different property are all possible subject to suitable accommodation being available and the terms agreed for the booking. Telling your contact early gives more room to work with.

Types of requirement

The process suits a range of requirements.

Availability varies by location and by when you ask, so not every type is possible everywhere at any time. These are the requirements the process is regularly used for.

Individual workers: A single engineer, supervisor or surveyor working away for a defined period.
Small teams: Two to six people, sharing a property or in separate rooms depending on the job.
Larger workforces: Numbers that will not fit one house, coordinated across more than one property in the same area.
Project teams: Mixed groups of staff and contractors working to the same programme dates.
Families and displaced households: A household that cannot live at home while insured damage is repaired.
Longer temporary stays: Stays measured in months rather than nights, under the agreed booking terms.
Multi-property requirements: Several properties in one area, handled through a single point of contact.

Our role

What MJ3 Relocations does.

MJ3 Relocations sources and coordinates suitable accommodation for business and project requirements and for insurance-related temporary accommodation needs. We are an accommodation provider and service: we find the property, present the options, arrange the booking and support the stay. We do not assess insurance claims, determine policy coverage or approve claims.

MJ3 Relocations is the accommodation brand of MJ3 Management Solutions Ltd, a UK company. You can read more about the two pathways on the accommodation solutions page, or send a requirement through the contact page.

Where we operate

We source accommodation across the UK. Availability differs from place to place, so we will tell you what is realistic in an area rather than promise stock everywhere. These are the cities we work in most regularly, each with local detail on areas, access and demand.
