The Modular Building Institute (MBI) recently published "Saving Time with Modular Bathroom Pods," a whitepaper that provides an overview of bathroom pods.
The document provides insight into when modular bathroom pods should be used on a project, their costs, and installation considerations. It also includes case studies across various markets that successfully integrated bathroom pods.
“Choosing to use bathroom pods can lead to real benefits realized in purchasing, design, production, quality control, and shortened completion times,” according to an MBI news release. “The use of bathroom pods greatly reduces the amount of work on-site. It also reduces the amount of on-site coordination typically required for multiple trades to work in one area.”
The whitepaper was compiled by MBI staff with information contributed by MBI members Intelligent Offsite, PIVOTek, Easy Building Solutions, PUDA Industrial Co., and non-member BLOX Modular.
