Managing a project-based business comes with a unique set of challenges. Deadlines can change overnight, team sizes fluctuate, and you often find yourself juggling multiple moving pieces at once. When your team is spread out, your timeline is fluid, and your resources are stretched, staying agile is essential.
At CORT, we understand the demands of project-based work—where quick thinking, adaptability, and efficiency are paramount. That’s why we provide flexible solutions for both workspace and temporary housing, so you and your team can stay focused on the task at hand, without the added stress of managing logistics.
In this episode of CORT Workplace Talks, we dive into real-world scenarios where CORT’s services provide the kind of flexibility that project-based teams need. We’ll hear from Scott Teich, National Director of Nationwide Furniture Programs, and Isabel Trask, Guest Experience Manager, who share their expertise on how CORT supports businesses working across a variety of sectors.
The Need for Flexibility in Project-Based Work
Project-based work thrives on innovation, but it also requires teams to be flexible in the face of constant change. Timelines shift, team members come and go, and deadlines often feel like moving targets. This dynamic environment demands that businesses remain adaptable to maintain progress.
In the conversation, Scott explained, “When something is project-based, it usually means there is a defined scope, timeframe, and budget. But things are never static. A project manager must be able to scale and adjust resources quickly to meet new demands.”
The nature of project-based work means that flexibility is not just a nice-to-have—it’s a necessity. When resources or timelines shift, having the right support systems in place can make all the difference.
How CORT Supports Project-Based Teams with Flexibility and Reliability
When running a project-based business, you don’t have time to waste on logistics. You need solutions that can adapt quickly and scale to meet evolving needs.
Whether it’s furnishing temporary office spaces, securing housing for your team, or both, CORT ensures that your business can continue without disruption.
Scott highlights the importance of speed and adaptability:
“When a team is faced with changes, the key is being able to adjust quickly. If a project requires additional space or needs to expand, the ability to get furniture and workspaces set up quickly is crucial.”
This rapid response capability means that when timelines change or project scopes increase, your team has everything they need—without the long waiting times associated with traditional furniture purchasing or office setups.
Why Project-Based Teams Are Choosing CORT Over Traditional Extended-Stay Hotels
While extended-stay hotels are a popular choice, they often fail to meet the high standards needed by project teams. A significant number of guests report maintenance problems, such as poor cleanliness, broken fixtures, and unresponsive management (Yelp, Reddit). For example, many guests have experienced frustrations with hotel staff’s unresponsiveness to complaints, which further adds to the stress of staying in a temporary space.
Isabel shares, “In project-based work with so many things changing, your cancellation policy might work well for extended stay or Airbnb, but not for projects. Most Airbnb and extended stay offerings don’t give you that option.”
These issues can disrupt the productivity and morale of project teams who are already under pressure to meet deadlines. That’s why CORT offers professional housing solutions for businesses looking for dependable, fully managed accommodations. Our 24/7 support ensures that your team’s housing is always ready and maintained to the highest standards, providing peace of mind throughout their stay.
Tailored Solutions for Project-Based Work
CORT provides fully managed, flexible housing and workspace solutions designed specifically for the needs of project-based teams. Whether you’re moving teams into a temporary office for a few months or setting up accommodations for extended stays, we offer a tailored solution that aligns with the scale of your project.
Isabel shares, “We know how important it is for teams to feel comfortable and settled quickly. That’s why we ensure that everything is ready for them—whether it’s furniture, housewares, or the flexibility to move as your project changes.”
At CORT, we focus on the details—ensuring your team has the comfortable, functional space they need to work productively and efficiently.
