H2A Agricultural

DOL-compliant H2A worker housing.

H2A-compliant agricultural worker housing for farms, ranches, dairies, and ag contractors. DOL-spec units, fast deployment, fully furnished, seasonal-ready..

01 · Overview

When harvest hits and the crew lands, housing is on the critical path.

H-2A agricultural worker housing is federally mandated, DOL-inspected, and operationally non-negotiable. BPK delivers compliant units ready for occupancy on day one.

The H-2A visa program lets U.S. growers bring temporary agricultural workers from abroad when there aren't enough domestic workers. Under 20 CFR § 655.122(d) and the federal MSPA, the employer must provide housing at no cost to workers — and that housing has to pass DOL inspection before workers can occupy it.

When you're scaling for harvest, calving, planting, packing, or shearing season, you don't have time to permit and build dormitory-style housing on your property. BPK delivers federally-compliant manufactured and modular units built to OSHA Temporary Labor Camps standards (29 CFR 1910.142) — fully furnished, with kitchens, baths, climate control, and the per-person square footage DOL requires.

Units arrive setup, skirted, and ready for inspection. We coordinate with your inspector, your TLO (Temporary Labor Order), and your seasonal schedule so housing is ready the week your crew is.

02 · Operations We House

Ag operations where BPK houses the crew.

01

Row Crop & Vegetable Farms

Lettuce, tomatoes, onions, peppers, melons, leafy greens — labor-intensive harvest windows requiring 50-500 H-2A workers across planting, weeding, and pick crews.

02

Tree Fruit & Orchards

Apples, citrus, peaches, pecans, cherries. Multi-week harvest windows where labor force is concentrated and housing must be on-site or within DOL-spec transport distance.

03

Dairy & Livestock

Year-round H-2A operations — dairies, cow-calf, feedlots, sheep, goat dairies. Permanent or semi-permanent housing for milk parlor crews, herd managers, and pasture rotation staff.

04

Packing Houses & Processing

Sorting, packing, and processing facilities running on H-2A labor in remote agricultural areas. Housing co-located with packing operations or staged nearby.

05

Specialty & Vineyards

Wine grapes, hops, blueberries, mushrooms, organic operations. Harvest crews requiring fast housing deployment matched to specific cultivar timing.

06

Range & Shearing

Sheep range operations, shearing crews, lambing seasons — remote-site housing including range trailers, mobile camps, and bunkhouse configurations meeting Range Sheep & Goat Herding rules.

03 · DOL Compliance Is The Job

H-2A worker housing is regulated, inspected, and non-negotiable.

If your housing fails DOL inspection, you don't get to bring workers in. BPK has built H-2A housing for operations across Texas, the Southwest, the Pacific Northwest, and California. We know what inspectors look for — and what gets cited.

Our units are configured to meet or exceed the federal minimums: 100 sq ft per occupant (50 sq ft in shared sleeping rooms), separate sleeping areas for unrelated occupants, code-compliant kitchen and dining, hot and cold potable water, screened windows, smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and the toilet/shower/laundry ratios specified in 29 CFR 1910.142 and 20 CFR 654.404.

We provide unit specs, occupancy plans, and compliance documentation for your Temporary Labor Order packet. If your State Workforce Agency or DOL inspector has questions, we're on the phone — not silent.

04 · Frequently Asked

What H-2A employers ask before signing.

Does BPK housing pass DOL/SWA inspection?
Yes. BPK units are configured to OSHA Temporary Labor Camp standards (29 CFR 1910.142) and the housing standards referenced in 20 CFR 654.404 / § 655.122(d). We provide compliance specs, floorplans, and occupancy documentation for your TLO packet. If your inspector has specific concerns, we adjust the configuration.
How fast can BPK deploy before harvest?
Standard deployment is 2-6 weeks from contract for typical H-2A camp sizes (10-100 workers), depending on site prep, utility hookups, and unit count. Plan backwards from your H-2A start date and contact BPK at least 8 weeks before. Larger camps and multi-state deployments need longer lead times.
Are the units furnished and ready for workers?
Yes. Units arrive fully furnished — beds, bedding optional, kitchen appliances, dishes if requested, bath fixtures, climate control, and code-compliant smoke detectors and fire extinguishers. Workers can occupy immediately after utility hookups and inspection sign-off.
What about kitchen and dining facilities?
BPK provides separate dining/kitchen units sized to crew count, or in-unit kitchenettes for smaller camps. Both options meet DOL minimums for food preparation, refrigeration, and sanitation. We also build complete dining halls (commissary-style) for crews of 50+ where shared meal service is more efficient.
Do you support range sheep / shepherd housing?
Yes. Range sheep and goat herder operations have specific housing variances (Range Sheep & Goat Herding regulations). BPK provides range trailers and mobile bunkhouse configurations engineered for remote pasture-based housing requirements.
What happens to the units after the season ends?
Three options: (1) BPK removes the units at season-end if you don't need them next year, (2) units stay in place for year-round H-2A operations like dairies, or (3) you purchase the units outright and own them for future seasons. We'll model the economics for your specific operation.

Tell us about your H-2A season.

10 workers or 500. Row crop or dairy. 8-week harvest window or year-round operation. Send us your TLO timeline and projected headcount — we'll spec a compliant camp, model the economics, and get you inspector-ready.
