A jobsite restroom is a regulatory line item before it's a comfort item. OSHA requires sanitation facilities for crews above specific size thresholds, with cleaning intervals tied to use frequency. The general contractor carries the compliance risk if those requirements aren't met during an inspection.
Austino's runs construction work in Nissequogue, NY as scheduled service contracts, not one-off drops. The unit shows up, gets serviced on a fixed weekly interval, and gets pulled when the project closes out. Invoicing is consistent, documentation is available, and the unit count scales with the crew as the project ramps up or down.
You call with project address, expected crew size, project duration, and any special access constraints. We quote unit count based on OSHA ratios and quote service frequency based on crew size.
Delivery is scheduled to align with site mobilization. Units are placed in coordination with your superintendent — typically near the gang box, away from the operating crane radius, with clear access for our service truck.
Servicing happens on a recurring weekly schedule unless the crew size or use pattern requires twice-weekly. Each service includes pumping, cleaning, restocking (paper, sanitizer), and condition check.
Project changes — crew expansion, phase changes, layout shifts — get handled by phone. We add units, swap locations, or change service frequency without paperwork delays.
Project closeout. Pull is scheduled with your super. We confirm 48 hours out, pull on the day, and invoice the final partial period.
The standard construction unit. Heavy-duty polyethylene construction, vented, lockable, designed for daily field use. Capacity sized to crew. Ratios follow OSHA 1926.51 — generally one toilet per 20 workers for projects without on-site permanent facilities, adjusted for crew gender mix and project duration.
OSHA requires handwashing capability for crews using restroom facilities. We add handwashing stations to construction rentals as a separate unit or as a side-mounted attachment. Foot-pump operation, fresh water reservoir, soap, paper towels. Restocked at each service interval.
If you're running multiple active sites across Nissequogue, NY, we consolidate billing and scheduling under one master service agreement. One invoice. One point of contact. Service intervals coordinated across all sites. Adds and removes happen by phone or email.
For jobsites running second shift or weekend work, standard service intervals don't cut it. We offer increased service frequency — twice weekly or more — based on actual use. Pricing adjusts to frequency, not unit count.
Site mobilization moved up. Original supplier dropped the ball. Crew showing up Monday and you need units there by Sunday night. Call. We carry buffer inventory specifically for fast-turnaround construction starts in Nissequogue, NY and can hit short windows.
Multi-month projects with consistent crew sizes get scheduled service that runs without supervision. We invoice monthly, deliver service reports, and adjust on request. The unit becomes a fixed asset on the site for the duration.
Our construction units are spec'd for the environment. UV-stabilized polyethylene shell that handles direct sun exposure over project durations. Recessed handles for tight site placement. Skid-mounted base for forklift relocation when site layout changes. Vented top to manage interior conditions. Lockable door with anti-tamper features for sites in unsecured areas.
Handwashing units run on foot pump, eliminating the dependency on site power. Fresh water reservoir typically holds enough for a week of crew use between services. Grey water tank sealed.
ADA units are available for jobsites where compliance applies — federally funded projects, sites with accessibility requirements in the prime contract.
Standard service is weekly. That holds for most Nissequogue jobsites with crews under 20 workers running standard hours.
We move to twice-weekly when: crew size exceeds 25 per unit, project runs second shift, weather conditions accelerate use (extreme heat), or your super flags a use pattern that's faster than expected.
We move to three times weekly or more on large concentrated jobs — high-rise builds with 40+ crew, infrastructure jobs with mobile crews using a single staging area, demolition projects with dust and debris driving fast turnover.
The frequency goes in writing in the service agreement. Changes happen by phone.
Pricing structure is straightforward. Monthly rate per unit, includes weekly servicing. Add handwashing units as a separate line item. Higher service frequency adjusts the monthly rate. Delivery and pickup are billed separately, usually as flat fees.
What changes the rate: distance from our yard to site, service frequency above standard, unit type (standard vs ADA vs flushable), and contract duration (longer commitments get better unit pricing).
We invoice on net-30 terms for established contractors and on prepayment for first-time clients with no credit history with us. Volume contracts with multiple units across multiple sites get custom pricing.
Three operational differences that matter on a jobsite.
"We run residential subdivisions across Nissequogue, NY, usually three to five active at any given time. Austino's took over our restroom contract two years ago after the previous company started missing service days. We haven't had a missed service since. That's the whole pitch — they show up when they say they will."
"Asked Austino's to mobilize four units on a Friday for a Monday morning start. They had them on site Saturday afternoon. The unit count was right for the crew size — they actually asked the right questions when I called instead of just upselling. Solid operation."
"Had one billing issue early on where a service week was double-invoiced. Called the office, got it corrected the same afternoon, credit applied to the next invoice. That's how it should work. Been with them eighteen months now."
The most common compliance gap on small-to-mid jobsites is unit ratio.
OSHA 1926.51 sets the floor: for crews of 20 or fewer, at least one toilet facility. For 20 to 200 workers, one toilet seat plus one urinal per 40 workers. Over 200, the math shifts further. This is the floor — the minimum legal requirement, not the optimal setup.
The practical reality on most Nissequogue, NY jobsites is that crews undercount their effective size. You have 18 direct employees on payroll, but you have 3 subs running 8 workers between them, and the inspector counts everyone on site. Now you're at 26 and you have one unit. That's an open finding waiting to happen.
The other gap is handwashing. OSHA requires it. Most contractors think the porta potty's hand sanitizer covers it. It doesn't, not under the regulation, not when the inspector reads it carefully. A separate handwashing station with running water and soap is the safer interpretation, and on most sites we're already adding one because crews appreciate it after concrete or rebar work.
Service frequency is the third quiet issue. Weekly service is the industry default but isn't tied to crew size. A 30-worker crew running a single unit on weekly service ends up with a unit in poor condition by Thursday. We adjust frequency to match the load, and the pricing adjustment is usually smaller than contractors expect.
The fix on all three: oversize slightly, add handwashing, and match service intervals to crew size, not to the calendar. Total cost increase is modest. Cost of an OSHA finding or a crew morale problem is larger.
OSHA 1926.51 specifies minimums based on crew size — generally one toilet per 20 workers for smaller crews, shifting at higher headcounts. The regulation also requires handwashing capability. We size your unit count and service intervals to comply with current OSHA standards for Nissequogue, NY projects.
Yes. Service logs showing date, unit ID, and service performed are available on request for any active or recent contract. Useful for OSHA documentation, prime contract audits, and project closeout records.
Common scenario. Call us with the change and we adjust unit count and service frequency. Most additions get delivered inside 48 hours.
Monthly billing is standard for construction contracts. Service is included in the monthly rate. Delivery and pickup are separate flat fees. Custom billing arrangements are available for larger multi-site contractors in Nissequogue.
Depends on the restriction. We've placed units inside fenced staging yards, behind gated entries, on multi-story sites with limited ground access. Send site access details when you call and we'll confirm what's possible.
Pull is scheduled with your superintendent. We confirm 48 hours out and pull on the agreed day. Final partial period is invoiced after pickup.
