Combo Restroom & Shower: Construction, Coppell TX
A national commercial general contractor needed a clean shower/restroom combo trailer for a multi-month construction project in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro. Stahla won the job remotely against a local restroom-rental competitor, coordinated the trailer and weekly service, responded quickly to a field issue, and completed the extended deployment with customer-confirmed pickup.
The Project
A national commercial general contractor needed temporary restroom and shower access for workers on a commercial construction project in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro. The job called for one accountable provider to handle the trailer, delivery, weekly waste service, and removal across a multi-month schedule.
The unit was placed in late December 2025 and stayed on site until the customer-confirmed pickup on 6/1/2026.
The Challenge
The job was not in Stahla's home market, and the customer already had a local restroom-rental competitor quoting the same site. The practical challenge was to make a remote Dallas-area deployment feel local: source the right combo unit, arrange service without handing the GC a vendor-management problem, and stay responsive if the trailer had an issue.
The schedule also moved. The original rental window ran into mid-May, then the customer extended the unit into June.
What Stahla Delivered
Stahla delivered one 3-station shower/restroom combo trailer with mobilization, demobilization, and weekly waste tank pump-outs. The combo format gave the GC a single clean facility for both restroom and washing needs instead of separate temporary units.
Because the site was outside Stahla's usual operating footprint, Stahla coordinated the equipment and local service chain itself. The GC still had one point of contact for the full rental.
Execution
The first constraint was distance from Stahla's shops, so Stahla sourced the combo trailer through a partner and coordinated pickup, delivery, and setup into the Coppell market. That let the job move forward without asking the GC to choose between a local competitor and a fragmented vendor plan.
The second constraint was ongoing service. Stahla set the unit up with weekly waste pump-outs and kept the service responsibility tied back to one accountable provider.
The third constraint came late in the rental. When the GC reported flooding on 5/1/2026, Stahla had a pumper dispatched in about 20 minutes and had a technician troubleshoot the next day. The issue traced to a continuously running toilet, which was corrected while the rental continued.
The final step was closeout. After the rental extended past the original end date, the customer confirmed the trailer had been picked up on 6/1/2026.
The Result
The contractor received one combined restroom and shower facility for the full job window, then chose to extend it beyond the original schedule. When a field issue surfaced, the response was measured in minutes, not days, and the trailer stayed through the extended rental.
The closeout was also clean. The customer confirmed pickup on 6/1/2026, tying the deployment from delivery through weekly service, extension, and removal.
Why Stahla
This job was a risk-transfer problem more than a trailer rental. Stahla won a remote Dallas-area construction site, coordinated a partner-sourced combo unit and weekly service, stayed accountable when the unit had an issue, and closed the job only after customer-confirmed pickup. The GC did not have to manage the local sourcing chain; Stahla did.
Planning Considerations for Your Project
- ✓If your site is outside a vendor's home market, ask who owns the equipment, delivery, service, and repair chain. One point of contact matters most when something goes wrong.
- ✓Combo trailers are useful when crews need both restroom and washing access without managing separate units.
- ✓Build room in the rental plan for extensions. This job moved past its original mid-May end date and stayed active into June.
- ✓For construction jobsites, plan sanitation and washing access against OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51, then match the service cadence to the actual crew use.
