A Smarter Housing Model for Fast-Moving Consulting Teams
See how a global consulting firm improved cost control and consistency with a housing program designed for rapid deployments and longer stays.
The Need: When Project Velocity Outpaces Housing Strategy
Our client is a global management consulting firm with teams deploying to client sites across 150+ countries, often with little notice and for stays that stretch from 30 days to several months.
But their housing approach hadn’t kept pace with their project velocity. Extended hotel stays were driving up costs, while consultants needed more space, privacy, and a true place to work and recharge. The firm set out to standardize a global, cost-effective option for 30-, 60-, and 90+ day assignments, without sacrificing quality or speed to place.
They needed a partner that could deliver consistent standards across countries, respond quickly when a new engagement landed, and keep spending visible and controlled—while elevating the day-to-day experience for the people doing the work.
Here’s how Weichert Corporate Housing helped them do both: reduce extended-stay spend and give consultants a place that truly felt like home.
The Solution: Corporate Housing Built for Consulting at Scale
Weichert Corporate Housing designed a furnished-apartment program aligned to the firm’s mobility and procurement goals, combining global reach, fast turnarounds, and predictable costs.
- Global coverage in major business hubs across North America, EMEA, and APAC—close to client offices and financial districts.
- Flexible terms with month-to-month options that scale with shifting project timelines.
- Move-in ready apartments with full kitchens, dedicated workspaces, high-speed internet, in-unit laundry, and utilities—bundled into one simplified invoice.
- Cost control and reporting through transparent pricing and centralized billing for stronger spend visibility.
- 24/7 guest support to resolve issues quickly, especially during international assignments.
The Outcome: A More Resilient Global Mobility Strategy
With the program in place, the firm strengthened its mobility strategy, and both consultants and program administrators reported a smoother experience. Impact highlights included:
Lower lodging costs: Reduced extended-stay expenses by an estimated 20–35% versus comparable hotels in major metro markets.
Higher day-to-day productivity: More space, full kitchens, and dedicated work areas helped consultants stay focused and avoid burnout on longer engagements.
Faster deployments: Streamlined booking enabled placements in 24–72 hours to support urgent project starts.
Better consultant experience: Residential-style living improved privacy and work-life balance compared to standard hotel rooms.
Simplified global management: One housing partner reduced vendor complexity while maintaining consistent standards worldwide.
The Bottom Line: Housing That Supports Performance and Scale
By partnering with Weichert Corporate Housing, the firm built a scalable furnished-apartment program that balances speed, cost control, and consultant comfort. The result: a consistent global housing experience that supports project delivery, so consultants can arrive ready to perform, and end each day in a space that feels like home.
