Franklin rental situations, from onsite construction to emergencies
Subcontractors on a Franklin construction site rarely agree on a lunch spot, which is why an onsite construction kitchen that serves every trade is easier to schedule around.
Onsite construction near Franklin
A road, utility or building crew working near Franklin, 40 straight-line miles from Nashville, TN, may find no restaurant open at the right hour. A mobile commercial kitchen trailer on the construction site feeds the whole crew, and a restroom trailer covers sanitation.
Where a Franklin crew stays and eats
With Portland about 10 miles south, a Franklin project has nearby lodging but a long lunch break. Renting a kitchen, cold storage and restrooms for the onsite construction crew keeps people on the job.
