1 THE TRUE VALUE OF BATHROOM PODS 1

2 INTERPOD OFFSITE. IT ADDS UP. A CALCULATED CONSTRUCTION CHOICE Interpod is all about engineering innovative, sustainable alternatives to traditional bathroom building methods. Over the years we ve seen firsthand how traditional bathrooms too often become the most problematic area of construction, with countless defects causing costly delays. There is a more reliable and cost effective solution. Bathrooms account for approximately 5-10% of the capital cost of a hotel, student accommodation or residential development construction budget, but account for up to 80% of defects. Interpod s bathrooms can change this equation for the better. By consolidating the entire bathroom build to a single supplier, Interpod Offsite offers a level of quoting accuracy, cost certainty, quality control and project management efficiency that cannot be achieved onsite in a traditional bathroom build with multiple trades and suppliers. Ideal for student accommodation, residential, hospitality, health, aged care, and military projects, Interpod have the expertise and experience to make your next project the most profitable and efficient project yet. IN THE TIME IT TOOK US TO BUILD (OFFSITE) 76 BATHROOMS AND INSTALL THEM WE WERE STILL BUILDING 20 CONVENTIONAL BATHROOMS. THAT IN ITSELF TOOK ABOUT THREE TO FOUR MONTHS OFF THE PROGRAMME. - GARY CORY, CROWN INTERNATIONAL 2

6 DRIVING COSTS DOWN PROJECT MANAGEMENT & OVERHEADS REMOVE Cost for detailed drawings and elevations of bathrooms. Contingency for scope gaps. The positive impacts Interpod can add to a project s equation go far beyond the tangible costs. A project will benefit from the tender or retender of bathroom pods in a multitude of areas, including project efficiency, removal of contingencies and reduction of labour. Interpod have a proven track record of turning optimistic programmes into realistic ones. Understanding where these costs are in the tender process is paramount when calculating the overall project estimation.
