Advanté Ltd

Advanté and Oasis welfare units for construction sites

Advanté Ltd is a British company based in Basildon (Essex) that designs and supplies Oasis welfare units, presented as a self-contained, portable instant-start system for construction sites. The company claims to have invented the concept of the static, self-contained, instant-start welfare unit in 1998, and since then has presented itself as a pioneer in this type of equipment.

The Oasis units are designed for sites where it is not possible to connect to the mains electricity or other services: they allow work to begin immediately and avoid connection delays. The company markets them throughout the UK and notes that they are used by major construction companies on projects of various sizes.

Composition and equipment of the Oasis units

Each Oasis unit integrates a configurable canteen and/or office layout, a 24-hour drying room (silent overnight) and toilets. Shower options are also available. The company offers a range of solar and hybrid welfare units, including the EcoLogic, EcoLogic Solar, EcoMax and EcoMax Solar series, as well as Vision self-contained toilet blocks and the PowerStation equipment.

• Solar and hybrid welfare units with instant start.
• Vision self-contained toilet blocks, including the Solar Vision and SolarGo variants.
• PowerStation to power battery or electric tools and equipment on site.
• Specialist lifting and transport services.
• Modular and AV buildings for purchase.

Solar and hybrid technology and emissions control

The company states that all Oasis welfare units run on solar and hybrid LPG power, with the aim of improving air quality and staff wellbeing and reducing impact on the community. The units incorporate smart telemetry to optimise their efficiency and limit generator operation. The EcoLogic Solar units have a large solar array to maximise solar gain throughout the year. According to the company, this technology allows sites to reduce carbon, noise and fuel costs.

Applications and sectors served

Advanté directs its solutions to projects that require flexibility and productivity in any location. The company cites among its areas of use housebuilding, general construction, highways, infrastructure, utilities and industry. The static instant-start units aim to reduce logistical constraints on where to place welfare accommodation and prevent sites from waiting for connections to start work.

The company is headquartered in Basildon, Essex, and in 2026 announced the opening of a service centre in Coatbridge (Scotland). In addition to supplying units, it offers lifting and transport services, modular and AV buildings for purchase, and publishes buyer's guides and case studies. The company also shares content on sustainability and has been shortlisted for two national sustainability awards, according to its own announcement.
