Bathroom pods are commonly used in the construction of most hotels and apartment buildings these days and becoming more so in residential housing. All the appliances and electrics are able to be fitted in the factory removing the need for work on site. Kitchen pods are ideal for renovating older and industrial buildings as all the electrical services for the building can be integrated into the pod. Once the bathroom specification has been finalised and the design completed. The frames are rolled out of the machine ready for assembly. The panels are then fitted with the internal boarding and finishes usually tiles or a waterproof lining. The walls, floor and roof are joined to create the room structure and the joints sealed. The plumbing and electrical components are connected. The pods are then subjected to a electrical test and a pressure test to ensure there are no leaks. The pods are then sealed to prevent access on site readied for transport. Once on site the pods are slid into position and connected to the power and water services. This process greatly reduces the build time as there are no requirements for trades on the site. As the pods are sealed until the building is complete there is reduced chances of them being damaged during the building construction phase.
