Programme changes are managed through structured variation and rescheduling procedures.
This includes:
- Review of revised installation sequence
- Adjustment of delivery batches
- Production reallocation where feasible
- Coordination with the main contractor’s updated programme
Early communication of sequencing changes allows manufacturing output to be realigned to minimise disruption.
Scope boundaries and variation impacts are formally documented to maintain programme clarity and cost control.
Other FAQs
What is your typical production capacity?
Sterchele operates controlled factory production lines dedicated to prefabricated bathroom pods, with capacity allocated based on confirmed project programmes. Production is planned during the pre-construction stage and aligned with project sequencing, tower-by-tower progression, and floor-by-floor installation strategies. Capacity supports high-rise residential, PRS schemes, student accommodation, and hospitality projects. For concurrent projects, delivery slots are formally scheduled to ensure continuous manufacturing and programme stability. The company has delivered over 80,000 bathroom pods across the UK and Europe, demonstrating scalable and repeatable production capability.
How is documentation managed to support the Golden Thread of information?
Documentation is managed across design, manufacture, and inspection stages, including drawings, QA records, testing results, material traceability, and as-built information. These records can be integrated into digital systems to support the Golden Thread of information.
Who is responsible for connections between the pod and building services?
Responsibility for pod-to-building service connections is defined by the project scope. Typically, Sterchele manufactures and tests the pod, while the appointed M&E contractor completes on-site connections. Interface roles are coordinated during design to ensure alignment, with Sterchele supporting inspections when included in the scope.
