Author: Gareth Dobbs | Read Time: 6 min | Updated: August 2026 A lot of remote and rural land is genuinely off-grid — no utility power, no municipal water, no sewer connection, and no realistic near-term path to getting any of them without a serious investment. That doesn't have to rule the land out for a cabin. It just means the structure needs to be engineered for those conditions rather than retrofitted for them after the fact. Here's exactly what an off-grid container c

Author: Gareth Dobbs | Read Time: 6 min | Updated: August 2026 Anyone who's owned a wood-frame hunt camp for more than a few seasons knows the routine: open it up in the fall, find out what the mice, moisture, or a leaky roof got into over the summer, patch what you can, and hope it holds through winter. That maintenance cycle is exactly why a growing number of hunters and landowners are moving to a modern hunt camp cabin built from steel instead of wood. Remote Land Is W

Author: Boma Properties | Read Time: 7 min | Updated: August 2026 Adding a guest house through traditional construction can quickly become expensive and time-consuming, especially once permits, contractors, and design decisions start stacking up. A container home ADU cost works differently, because most of the unpredictability that drives up a traditional ADU budget — contractor coordination, weather delays, change orders — happens off-site in a controlled production enviro

Author: Boma Properties | Read Time: 5 min | Updated: August 2026 Nearly every container home company will show you a rendering, a floor plan, or a finished-project photo gallery. Almost none of them will let you actually sleep in the product before you commit to building one. Boma does — and if you decide to move forward, the cost of your stay gets credited toward your build. Here's how it works, and why it matters more than it might sound like at first. Two Real Propert

Author: Boma Properties | Read Time: 6 min | Updated: July 2026 Most companies pitching data center workforce housing have never spent a night in the product they're selling. Boma has a different starting point: before we ever built a workforce housing unit, we were already operating our own short-term rental properties — real guests, real bookings, real feedback on what breaks and what holds up. That operator experience is the single biggest thing that separates Base Camp

Author: Boma Properties | Read Time: 6 min | Updated: August 2026 Most people shopping for a rental property are still looking at the same standard playbook: buy a house, buy a cabin, buy a duplex. But the fastest-growing part of the short-term rental market isn't standard housing at all — it's unique stays. Travelers are actively choosing distinctive, experience-driven properties over conventional options, and a container home Airbnb investment is one of the more efficient

Author: Boma Properties | Read Time: 8 min | Updated: August 2026 Workforce housing has quietly become a critical-path procurement decision on nearly every rural data center build. But most GCs, developers, and housing operators are sourcing data center workforce housing for the first time, without a clear framework for how to evaluate options, size a campus, or time the decision against the broader project schedule. This guide walks through the practical basics: who's buyi

Author: Boma Properties | Read Time: 6 min | Updated: July 2026 A GC awarded a data center project doesn't have the luxury of a slow ramp. Mobilization windows are tight, crew counts scale into the thousands, and a housing provider who can't match that pace becomes the bottleneck on someone else's critical path. The question we get most from GCs and developers evaluating Base Camp by Boma isn't "can you build a nice unit" — the site and the concept package answer that. It's

Author: Boma Properties | Read Time: 7 min | Updated: July 2026 Every workforce housing provider will tell you their camp is fast, scalable, and worker-friendly. Most of them are describing the same dormitory-trailer product with different paint colors. So what actually makes Base Camp by Boma a genuine man camp alternative — beyond marketing language? We built Base Camp by Boma by asking a different starting question than most man camp providers ask. Instead of "how do we

Author: Boma Properties | Read Time: 6 min | Updated: July 2026 For decades, the man camp procurement conversation was almost entirely about cost per bed. Lowest bidder wins, crews get bunked two to a room in a dormitory trailer, and the housing line item disappears into the broader project budget. That conversation is changing. On today's data center builds, the question GCs and developers are increasingly asking isn't "what's the cheapest way to house 1,000 workers?" It'
