Offsite-built bathrooms cut building time, costs
Interpod Offsite has helped the builder of Australia’s first Tune Hotel to speed up the construction process and cut project costs, according to Infolink.
Bathroom pods from Interpod Offsite helped the builder, Arrow International to cut many weeks out of the construction schedule, helping them adhere to the very tight timeframe given to complete the hotel.
Built offsite, the premium custom bathroom pods were completed in a fraction of time compared to traditional build methods. This significant reduction in construction time also meant substantial cost savings for Arrow International.
Arrow’s project manager Matt Hall confirms that the company was able to shave months off the overall project program. With 256 hotel rooms and 17 apartments, the hotel project has almost 300 bathrooms over eight floors.
Each bathroom was delivered to the site as a completed and cleaned unit, craned onto loading decks and wheeled into place on each floor.
The factory finished bathroom pods offered a more efficient and faster alternative, according to Infolink. The bathroom pods also included several disabled bathrooms, all built to Tune Hotel’s unique specifications and design, and finished to an exceptionally high standard.
