IApproach
What we solve
Hyperscale data center construction creates workforce housing demands that overwhelm rural communities and strain project timelines.
Land and site readiness
Remote sites have to be found, diligenced and entitled before a bed goes in. That can stall a project for months.
We source the land, run diligence and secure site control. The site arrives ready to build.
Schedule risk
Thousands of tradespeople cycle through a multi-year build. Without managed housing, the timeline slips.
Full camp operations stand up in months, with beds ready when crews arrive.
Remote site bottleneck
A 3,000-worker influx into an 11,000-person town overwhelms local infrastructure overnight.
Large-scale camps that flex as construction phases ramp and demobilize.
Labor retention
Skilled electricians, welders and fiber installers are scarce. Poor accommodations drive them to competing projects.
Amenities and recreation that keep skilled trades on your site, a proven retention driver.
Vendor fragmentation
Separate contracts for housing, catering, construction and logistics add cost and execution risk.
One agreement covers the full vendor stack. You sign once and we manage everyone behind it.
IIOne prime contract
You sign one agreement. We carry the risk.
1836 holds every contract behind the prime and carries delivery and schedule risk. Each discipline is run by a top-tier specialist we contract and manage. Clients include EPCs, data center developers and hyperscalers.
