He’ll be staying in a hotel for a few weeks while his house is being renovated.
Will you be commuting from a new location when you start the new job?
2. Future perfect
We use the future perfect simple (will/won't have + past participle) to describe something that will be completed before a specific time in the future.

Will you have completed your tasks by the time I return?
We often use phrases like by or by the time (meaning 'at some point before') and in or in a day's time/in two months' time/in five years' time (meaning 'at the end of this period') to indicate when the action will be completed.
I won’t have finished the project by next Tuesday.
