10 Top Tips for Procuring Bathroom Pods
We have manufactured over 100,000 bathroom pods to date so thought we would share our 10 top tips for specifying bathroom or utility pods:
- Engage with the offsite manufacturer in the very first stages of a construction project
- Visit the factory
- Consider access for pod installation in the structural design
- Assess how pods will integrate with your building services
- Make sure the floor slab is flat and level and to our precise specification
- Ensure lifting frames are project-specific and certified for the type of pod
- Look closely at the pod construction details to ensure longevity – not all suppliers manufacture to the same standards
- Assess what testing is carried out in the factory before delivery to site
- Check guarantees and accreditations
- Be aware when comparing tenders that not all manufacturers are like for like.
For more advice on procuring or specifying bathroom or utility pods, we offer an independently-accredited CPD workshop for contractors and architects, available both online and in person – see www.offsitesolutions.com/cpd for more details.
