1 The leader in factory-built bathrooms

2 What are Factory-Built Bathrooms? Technology is redefining the construction industry and prefabricated, outsourced components are becoming an important part of every new project delivering higher levels of quality, control and cost efficiency. Proven in Europe and Asia. Now built in the USA. In Europe and Asia, builders have incorporated prefabricated bathrooms into their residential projects for decades, improving quality, reducing construction time and containing costs. Now, Eggrock brings this building revolution to the United States, where some of America s best-known builders turn to Eggrock to save time and money while eliminating bathroom-related punch lists. Eggrock s factory-built bathrooms are delivered with the highest quality finishes. The construction industry faces a chronic multi-unit construction. Bathrooms are shortage of skilled labor, escalating raw notorious for causing schedule delays and material costs and growing customer demands that are forcing developers to adopt projects. Consider that every bathroom post-construction punch lists for building smarter ways to build. requires eight different specialty trades More than ever, builders are emulating all working within a small, confined space. the supply chain practices used in other One trade s work directly impacts the next, industries and other countries to gain a creating an environment where problems competitive advantage. Using prebuilt, are virtually guaranteed. outsourced building components, such as Eggrock builds bathrooms like a car prefabricated trusses, wall panels and precast concrete assemblies, are examples of tory setting where the production process company builds cars in a controlled fac- new standards within the industry. is monitored to ensure quality every time. Eggrock s factory-built bathrooms further this concept by allowing builders to site complete, tested and fully equipped Eggrock bathrooms are delivered to the outsource the most problematic room in 2

It takes only a few hours to connect each bathroom to the building s electrical and plumbing systems. And Eggrock ensures that all its bathrooms will meet your design and code standards, so there are no worries about passing inspections before opening day. What would it be worth to shorten your construction schedule by two months or more while maintaining the strictest design and workmanship standards? The Anatomy of an Eggrock Bathroom Eggrock bathroom units are sized, designed and accessorized precisely according to your architectural plans, then built under controlled factory conditions as individual modules. Everything is installed, even towel bars, mirrors and paper holders. Once the unit is complete and inspected, the door is locked and the unit is packaged for delivery. Steel framing engineered for superior strength and accuracy. Completely finished interior clean and ready to use. Steel blocking for showerheads, tub spouts and wallmounted accessories. Moisture-resistant, abuseresistant wallboard, glued and screwed to framing. Integrated, pretested plumbing and electric, codecompliant and ready for final hookup. Waterproof, thin-profile subfloor supports any floor finish while providing a seamless transition to the adjoining floor. 3

4 Why Use Factory-Built Bathrooms? Eggrock bathrooms cost about the same as site-built bathrooms, yet reduce construction time, exceed site-built workmanship quality and allow a more trouble-free opening. Exceptional Quality From Unit to Unit. Total Cost Control. It s difficult, if not impossible, to precisely duplicate several dozen or several hundred bathrooms in site-built construction. Different trades and varying site conditions contribute to the challenge of maintaining consistent quality. Factory-built bathrooms overcome those obstacles by taking a page from the high-tech playbook using the latest manufacturing technologies and a controlled production environment to build custom bathrooms according to precise specifications over and over again. The result is a level of workmanship that is superior to sitebuilt, completed in days instead of months, and for a fixed cost. Why build the past when the market is asking for the future? Factory-built bathrooms offer extraordinary benefits to owners and builders of hotels, military housing, dorms, apartment buildings, hospitals and independent living facilities. Superior Quality Consistently high workmanship quality - superior to site-built. No punch list. More durable than site-built construction. Easier to maintain. Faster Construction Built ahead of time and delivered when you need them, removing worker-hours from the construction site. Easy hookup to the service risers, much like an appliance. Seamless integration with the existing floor with no need for slab depressions for most applications. Traditional Eggrock Design Site Prep Construction Design Site Prep Bathrooms Construction Eggrock bathrooms can significantly reduce your construction time. Cost Control No change orders because all specifications are agreed to up front and provided for a fixed price. Less overhead expenses from trash removal, utilities and field supervision. No site theft or need for repair of damaged fixtures. Bathrooms are packaged, locked and secured. Time Saved Simplicity One point of contact instead of coordinating eight different trades. Improved accountability by having one supplier responsible for the entire bathroom, allowing field supervision to be more productive. Faster design because architects can depend on Eggrock for design-assist expertise. Eggrock s bathrooms are designed with exacting specifications. 4

6 Manufacturing Factory-Built Bathrooms At Eggrock, our business and our focus is building bathrooms. Our engineers research the latest methods and materials; our purchasing experts negotiate the best pricing; and our customers benefit from our complete attention. Built Like a Boeing Boeing can build a 777 that has more than one million parts in just over a month, yet a typical multi-unit building can take a year or more. A plane is an engineered product manufactured in a controlled factory. A building is treated as a one-time project and is stick-built on the construction site. By moving parts of buildings from the construction site to controlled factories, the construction process becomes faster, easier to manage and yields a much higher level of quality. Eggrock s precision manufacturing ensures quality. It s helpful to think of a bathroom as an oversized appliance, such as a dishwasher, that contains structural, electrical and plumbing components integrated to form a functional unit. Just as builders would never consider building a dishwasher on the construction site, Eggrock believes that some day builders will feel the same about bathrooms. Design Good manufacturing starts with good design. Eggrock uses sophisticated computer design software to make sure the hundreds of components that go into a bathroom are perfectly integrated and planned for. We can even determine the Sophisticated computer software is used to design each bathroom. 6

Manufacturing Once a solid design is developed and tested on the computer, it is transferred to manufacturing where bathrooms move down a precisely controlled assembly line. The work at each manufacturing station is According to the Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, a staggering 50% of money spent on construction labor is wasted on late deliveries and poor communication that Each bathroom receives a 120-point inspection that covers everything from paint quality to the width of caulk joints. leave workers idle. Eggrock s manufacturing associates follow specifications and assembly instructions. inspected before moving to the next station. Manufacturing associates have proper lighting, tools and materials. Work stations are organized to produce high quality in a safe environment. To eliminate the possibility of miscommunication, Eggrock produces a reference unit that the customer personally inspects prior to full-scale production. Inspection Every Eggrock bathroom must pass a comprehensive 120-point inspection that ranges from electrical tests and pressure testing of plumbing lines, to the proper width of caulk joints and the fit and finish of fixtures. Packaging & Shipping Each bathroom is packaged in a special waterproof wrap that protects the unit from the elements common to a construction site. Bathrooms are shipped by the best national carriers using air-rideequipped trucks. Eggrock framing is engineered to prevent shipping damage to drywall, tile and fixtures, and we guarantee all bathrooms will arrive in good condition. 7

8 Installing Eggrock Bathrooms Eggrock offers a turnkey solution that accelerates timelines and eliminates the bathroom punch list. As Easy to Install as an Oversized Dishwasher Installing an Eggrock bathroom is like installing an oversized dishwasher. The units are delivered to the site, slid into the building and eased into position for hookup. At Eggrock, we understand that bathrooms must be on-site, on time. The units are delivered based upon the construction type. For wood structures, they are delivered and dropped in as each floor is erected. For concrete structures, they arrive after the building is erected and are slid in from the side. Bathrooms are built ahead of time and delivered as needed. We use the best national freight carriers and air-ride equipped vehicles. Built to Travel Eggrock bathrooms are engineered to withstand the typical stress, strain and vibration of transport. The tiles won t crack and the drywall and fixtures won t be damaged. In addition, all bathrooms are shipped with special packaging to prevent moisture damage at the construction site. This protective layer does not need to be removed for craning and protects the unit until the roof is on the building. Trucks are scheduled by Eggrock and arrive on-site on schedule. Eggrock provides a loading platform. Bathrooms are hoisted, then slid in from the side in concrete buildings and dropped in from the top in timber framed buildings. The bathroom is placed a few feet from its final position while plumbing risers and sheetrocking are completed. The unit is slid into place using air casters. Packaging has been removed and the door is protected and locked. The bathroom is installed and will be sheetrocked with the rest of the room. Connections are made from the floor below. 8

9 Fast, Easy Installation Installing an Eggrock bathroom is simple and fast. A reusable lifting frame is provided on-site, with straps and shackles for craning the bathroom units into place. This lifting apparatus is certified by a qualified structural engineer and documentation will be provided. Bathrooms are placed in each room several feet from their final position. Once waste, water supply and electrical wires are roughed in, the bathroom is slid into location and connected. Bathrooms are installed from the top floor down so site plumbers can easily access pipes from below. Ground floor units are hooked from boxed-out plumbing terminations similar to site-built. Plumbing and electric hookups are greatly simplified because we design our terminations specific to each job. We provide a coiled electrical line that can be installed into a local junction box. Plumbing hookups consist of hot and cold lines terminated in a convenient location and waste lines that can be easily hooked LEED Friendly into the risers. We provide drawings of all Eggrock brings you to ground floor pipe locations and allow for the cutting edge of green tolerances to ensure proper fit. construction. We use many green materials No Surprises and virtually every scrap Eggrock guarantees that each bathroom of waste and packaging meets the standard set by the reference is recycled. Each Eggrock unit, which was initially approved by the bathroom reduces your customer. Nevertheless, we jointly inspect site trash removal by 10 the bathrooms with our customers at the cubic yards.
