In-house wall framing fabrication removes onsite inconsistencies

Construction sites are under constant pressure to manage material shortages, structural compliance and quality control.
To solve this recurring challenge, Interpod manufacture all structural bathroom pod elements in house, providing superb design control and minimising material shortages. 

Recent fast-tracked developments have put added strain on developers and builders to complete projects faster, whilst high quality deliverable expectations still remain.

The problem with onsite inconsistencies:

At Interpod, we have evidenced the increasing need for onsite consistency, and in response have taken difficult works offsite and incorporated them into our stringent manufacturing process.

Common onsite structural inconsistencies include: 

• Incorrectly positioned service hole locations (that can be easily avoided with our offsite engineering processes)
• Wall and frame alignment
• Floor falls in wet areas (often signed off and not flood tested)

In-house designers at Interpod ensure bathroom wall frames have service locations marked prior to the wall frames being fabricated in-house. Interpod bathrooms are flood tested prior to leaving our manufacturing facility. 

The below video explains how our wall framing process works:

Why manufacture rather than import?

Manufacturing our wall-frames in-house removes the onsite headaches of service location error and ensures bathroom and onsite services can be coordinated into a single wall frame location.

The service coordination occurs between architects, the builder and our in-house technical team to ensure engineering precision is achieved before wall frames are manufactured in-house.

The difference with in-house fabrication:

Offsite bathroom pod precision can be achieved with dedicated focus that focuses on quality in:

• the bathroom design
• the engineering concepts
• the physical production elements

Interpod’s forward thinking mentality towards construction provides developers and builders with access to manufacturing concepts that assist their development years into the future.

A forward thinking alternative to onsite headaches:

We’ve created the bathroom pod solution that has evolved to meet the demands of a changing industry. With sustainable and innovative materials applied through the right creative know how, our pods represent the peak of modular bathroom craftsmanship.

Focusing on the design and delivery of innovative and integrated bathroom pod experiences, we continually strive to look forward, helping our clients realise and embrace the potential of modular construction.
