Yes, subject to structural and façade alignment.
- Window openings are pre-formed during manufacture.
- Subframe alignment must match combined pod wall and external wall build-up.
- Full-height and sliding door systems can be integrated at factory stage.
All penetrations and structural modifications are coordinated prior to production to maintain dimensional control and compliance.
Other FAQs
How are late-stage design changes managed?
Late-stage changes are managed through a formal variation control process. Each change is assessed for structural impact, service coordination, compliance requirements, and programme implications. When required, updated drawings and documentation are issued before manufacture or installation to ensure alignment with approved design information.
Can pods be integrated into refurbishment or retrofit schemes?
Bathroom pods can be used in retrofit projects, subject to structural and access validation. Key checks include existing floor load capacity, crane or lifting feasibility, route width and manoeuvring clearance, and integration with existing risers and service routes. Early-stage surveys are required to confirm dimensional compatibility and define installation sequencing.
What are typical wall and base thicknesses?
The pod construction is finalized during the design coordination phase. Available base options include a standard concrete base (approximately 2400 kg/m³), a lightweight concrete base (approximately 1800 kg/m³), and steel/tubular structural alternatives for projects with weight restrictions. Typical floor build-ups are around 90 mm for the standard configuration and 110 mm for walk-in shower or embedded drainage configurations. These dimensions include 10 mm neoprene support pads and a minimum 5 mm leveling tolerance. Final dimensions are provided in approved-for-construction drawings before manufacturing begins.
