Bathroom Pod

Off–site construction specialist Terrapin has extended its service by offering bathroom pods to bespoke specifications on both commercial and residential projects. Managing Director of Terrapin, explains: “Bathroom pods are a natural extension to our product range. All our products are bespoke and we are increasingly being asked to design and produce bathroom pods for a wide range of projects. It’s all part of offering a complete service, which includes delivering a building that is fit for purpose, produced quickly and efficiently to meet project requirements, whilst minimising the carbon footprint.”

As one of the UK’s leading providers of off–site solutions, Terrapin has developed an innovative bathroom pod concept that incorporates the very best Methods of Modern Construction (MMC) technologies to deliver flexibility and excellence in building design. The company understands and can advise on meeting specific market sector requirements, for example HTM (Health Technical Memoranda), Hotel, RSL (Registered Social Landlords), Nursery, MOD, as well as with building regulations and DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) requirements.

Managing Director of Terrapin adds: “It is now widely accepted in the industry that by using bathroom pods, contractors and developers can reduce costs over traditional construction methods. It also means there is less need for skilled labour on–site and co-ordinating of site services, which can add significantly to the build time. Manufacturing the pods in a quality assessed factory environment also ensures much more consistent quality standards on-site.”

As part of the bathroom pod concept, Terrapin offers its unique design service, which includes determining an outline concept proposal for the bathroom pod which, once approved by the client, forms the basis of the layout and construction detail. Terrapin’s experienced team then works closely with the client, project teams and architects, where necessary, to ensure the project is developed quickly and efficiently and that it meets the full requirements.

On a recent project Terrapin have successfully designed and prototyped a lightweight concrete floor specifically to address the needs of a particular project.

Terrapin’s bathroom pods reflect the highest quality, UK-based manufacturing service for which the company is renowned. This includes producing a fully tiled, painted and serviced bathroom pod, which is finished to a very high standard and incorporates the latest, most innovative materials to create bathroom solutions, which cannot be replicated by traditional on-site manufacture.

The environmental benefits of bathroom pods are undeniable, with Terrapin’s off–site manufacturing method leading to a lower carbon footprint, lower levels of waste and reduced deliveries, which minimizes fuel consumption and disruption to residents. Use of bathroom pods also helps to reduce construction times, due to the number of trades involved, which makes it easier to meet client deadlines.
