The Bakken Workforce and Modular Housing

The Bakken Workforce and Modular Housing

The Bakken formation in North Dakota has led to a boom in jobs and people moving into the area. Oil field workers in western North Dakota and eastern Montana need places to live and the fastest solution to their needs is modular housing.

Housing Shortage

With its unprecedented growth, families and individuals are flocking to the region for job opportunities. Because of this influx, existing housing has not been able to meet the demand. Many workers are forced to stay in hotels, tents and campers. Some are even commuting hours a day. It is projected that this growth will continue as oil and gas production remains strong and vibrant.

A Solution

The addition of modular residences in the Bakken offers workers a comfortable, light and durable home solution. Often, modular homes come fully furnished and ready to move in. Single family homes as well as work force housing are part of the solution offered by modular home construction.

Modular construction offers superior building methods, where climate has no effect on the building process. Constructed in climate-controlled factories, delays due to weather are no longer a problem. This is the most reliable solution for the often harsh North Dakota winters. With the quick response of construction, projects such as Bakken housing prove effective. Other regions with rapid population growth due to oil drilling are also able to find effective solutions in modular housing.

Bakken Housing

Residential developments are currently underway and single family homes of modular design can be found in Alexander, Williston and Watford City, North Dakota. Brand new studio, one and two bedroom homes are available with full sized kitchens and fully furnished for convenience. Built with sturdy construction, these homes can withstand the strongest weather conditions. Modular duplex homes with two bedrooms have also been built to address the Bakken shortage of homes. Properties are well maintained and homes include cable with premium channels and internet.

Bakken homes are ready to meet the needs of Bakken workers and their families. Modular housing offers a high quality and comfortable solution to work force housing.
