Challenges:

The client required housing for a team of 26 people in the small community of Vermio, Greece, for a renewable energy project. Several key challenges made finding suitable accommodation difficult:
  1. Limited Housing Options: Vermio offered very few housing options that met the client’s requirements for quality, comfort, and proximity to the worksite.
  2. Language Barriers: Many local landlords spoke little or no English, making it challenging to negotiate and finalize deals.
  3. Client's Preference for Houses: The client specifically requested houses rather than hotels, adding complexity to the search.
  4. Budget Constraints: The client had previously received offers from hotels but needed a more cost-effective solution without compromising on quality.
