Why do tradies love working in Melbourne?

Melbourne is one of Australia’s fastest growing cities with constant demand for construction, infrastructure, and trade services. From big projects to local jobs around the suburbs, tradies are always in demand. With work spread across the city and surrounding areas, having a place to stay makes all the difference in getting jobs done on time and reducing long commutes.

What do tradies need in short or long-term accommodation?

When it comes to work stays, tradies need more than just a bed. Affordable pricing, flexible booking, secure parking for work vehicles, and easy access to main roads are all must haves. Comfort after a long day on site is key, with quiet cabins, self-contained facilities, and Wi-Fi available to make life easier on the job.

Hotels may give you a bed for the night, but tradies need more than that. ATVM’s cabins give you space to spread out, cook meals, and unwind after long shifts – a home away from home.

It’s comfort, practicality, and affordability all in one – that’s why cabin accommodation is the clear winner for tradies in Melbourne.
