Key Project Data
- Location: Greenwich Peninsula, London
- Sector: Private residential
- Development type: Urban regeneration / hybrid construction
- Total apartments: 431
- Bathroom pods supplied: 562 prefabricated units
- Sterchele scope: Design coordination, off-site manufacture, sequenced delivery, and on-site technical integration support through installation and commissioning
The Challenge
Plot 19.05 forms part of the wider Greenwich Peninsula regeneration, a large-scale residential programme delivered using a hybrid construction methodology.
The project required alignment between structural systems, off-site manufactured elements, and on-site assembly processes. Within this framework, bathroom installation needed to support dimensional control, sequencing discipline, and coordination with prefabricated structural and MEP components.
A conventional in-situ bathroom approach would have introduced additional trade interfaces and variability within an otherwise production-led build strategy.
Our Solution
Sterchele designed, manufactured, and delivered 562 fully prefabricated bathroom pods, integrated within the project’s hybrid construction system.
Our structured involvement included:
- Early-stage design coordination to align pod geometry with structural and façade tolerances
- Interface alignment with risers, drainage, ventilation, and containment strategies
- Factory-controlled manufacture with defined inspection and dimensional verification stages
- Sequenced delivery aligned to the project’s assembly-led installation programme
- On-site technical presence during installation and commissioning to support integration and verification
The bathroom package was incorporated as a coordinated modular component within the wider off-site strategy, maintaining consistency with the project’s production-led methodology.
Why Prefabricated Pods Were Effective
Within a hybrid construction environment, prefabricated pods provided clear operational advantages:
- Consolidation of multi-trade bathroom works into a single controlled unit
- High dimensional consistency aligned with prefabricated structural elements
- Reduced labour intensity within vertical cores
- Repeatable installation methodology across multiple levels
- Installation sequencing aligned with overall assembly progression
The bathroom scope was delivered as a coordinated modular system rather than a series of independent trade activities.
Outcome
The use of prefabricated pods supported the transition from variable, multi-trade bathroom construction to a controlled and repeatable modular delivery process.
This contributed to:
- Programme predictability aligned with the hybrid construction sequence
- Reduced vertical trade congestion during peak installation phases
- Consistent dimensional and finish standards across 562 units
- Clear interface coordination between pod connections and the building’s services infrastructure
By integrating design coordination, manufacture, delivery, and on-site technical support within a single structured scope, the bathroom package aligned with the wider production-led objectives of the development.
