Transcript of 160216 True Value of Bathroom Pods Brochure

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.
A CALCULATED CONSTRUCTION CHOICE
INTERPOD OFFSITE. IT ADDS UP.
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.
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
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.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT & OVERHEADS
DRIVING COSTS DOWNThe 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. Being crystal clear about the works the subcontractor is expected to do will ensure that standard estimating methods and optimistic project planning do not affect the updated programme.
Interpod believe our premium quality bathroom pods can mitigate the following programme costs…

REDUCE
Cost for detailed drawings and elevations of bathrooms.
Contingency for scope gaps.
Additional prelims contingency for programme delay.
Contingency for unplanned workforce to mitigate programme delays.
Factory controlled waterproofing and stronger structure

are any issues at all, there is no risk of the blame game.
Crane, tools & plant, electricity & services, scaffolding, site
offices, worker amenities, storage yards, insurances, staff
salaries, other holding costs.
Reduction of total worker amenities required.
Waste is generally calculated at $250 - $350 per bathroom.
Be sure to include the labour used to clean up and sort
waste as well as the waste removal costs.
Reduction in trade coordination and defect management.
Savings of up to 5 hours per pod.
Due to reduction in loose materials. Bathrooms are
secured on arrival to site.
