    Why Aberdeen?

    With direct proximity to Aberdeen International Airport, the heliport and the harbour, our properties minimise travel time for rotational offshore crews and project engineers.

    What corporate accommodation in Aberdeen actually costs

    Aberdeen pricing moves with the drilling and turnaround calendar rather than the tourist season. A one-bedroom serviced apartment in the West End or city centre typically runs £75–£110 per night on a monthly booking, while a three or four-bedroom contractor house in Bridge of Don, Bucksburn or Westhill usually lands between £38 and £55 per head per night for a full crew — bills, broadband and cleaning included.

    Because we book whole properties rather than rooms, cost per head falls sharply as crew size rises. Operators mobilising 20+ people for a shutdown routinely halve their per-night spend against hotel rack rates, and hold the same beds across successive rotations instead of re-booking every crew change.

    Choosing the right area for your Aberdeen project team

    Where your team stays should be decided by the site gate, not the postcode. Crews working Altens and Tullos are best housed south of the Bridge of Dee — Kincorth, Cove and Portlethen keep the commute under 15 minutes even in morning traffic. Subsea and engineering staff based in Westhill or Kingswells do better in Milltimber, Peterculter or Westhill itself.

    For offshore rotations flying from Dyce or the heliport, we place teams in Dyce, Bucksburn and Bridge of Don so an early check-in doesn't mean a 04:00 alarm. Long-rotation engineers and secondees usually prefer the West End and Rosemount, where they can walk to shops and food after a shift.

    Rotational and shutdown accommodation in Aberdeen

    14/14, 21/21 and three-week shutdown patterns need accommodation that flexes without penalty. We hold properties across a full rotation cycle so the same house serves back-to-back crews, with cleaning and linen scheduled into the changeover day and no charge for the empty hours between departures and arrivals.

    Every Aberdeen property is strictly exclusive use — no shared houses and no HMOs — so a night-shift crew is never sharing a kitchen with a day-shift team. Where a mobilisation outgrows a single property we cluster adjacent houses in one street or estate to keep transport and supervision simple.

    Local knowledge · Aberdeen

    Inside the Aberdeen project economy

    Aberdeen's economy is anchored by the North Sea energy cluster, with the world's largest heliport at Dyce moving offshore crews to fields from the Central North Sea to West of Shetland. Since 2020 the mix has shifted sharply toward offshore wind, decommissioning and hydrogen — meaning crew rotations now span oil majors, tier-one EPC contractors and renewables developers, often on the same programme. Our Granite City accommodation reflects that mix: heliport-adjacent flats for rotational crews, longer-term houses in Kingswells and Milltimber for project engineers, and city-centre serviced apartments for auditors and inspection teams passing through.

    Why clients choose us for Aberdeen

    Because we place teams here week-in, week-out, we know which properties absorb rotational patterns (14/14, 21/21, 3-on-3-off) without complaint, and which landlords accept short-notice extensions when weather delays helicopter movements. That local knowledge is why energy contractors keep coming back to us instead of hotel blocks.
