∫Reduction in waste costs: no waste is generated from
within the bathroom when pods are incorporated into the
project. Traditional construction of bathrooms will cost up
to $300 per bathroom in waste costs, plus the many hours
of labour required for removal and placement of the waste.
∫Reduced site management costs: with fewer trades on
site, management is simplified, and the requirement for
‘finishes foremen’ is greatly reduced.
∫Minimised warranty maintenance: manufactured to
exacting standards, Interpod bathrooms provide a level of
finish that is second to none. Call backs for: blocked floor
wastes; waterproofing failures; defective workmanship,
etc. are minimised or eliminated due to the structural
integrity of our systems.
b. For the trades, at practical completion of the project,
defect rectification required by bathroom trades is greatly
reduced. This allows the trades to move on to other
projects, and the overall project to be more profitable for
each trade.
c. For the developer, the use of prefab bathrooms often
assists with getting the project to market quickly,
providing a better return on investment (ROI).
d. For the owner, ongoing maintenance is significantly
reduced. Because the manufacture of the bathrooms
takes place in a controlled factory environment, quality
is inherent. QA checks are carried out at set points in
production, ensuring that the risk of potential failure or
defect down the track is minimised.
The aim of the WaterMark Certification Scheme is to
ensure products meet AS/NZS specific specifications
and standards, and to assist Australian consumers to
identify quality products. In order to achieve WaterMark
certification, Interpod underwent extensive onsite testing
and auditing. This included working prototypes being tested
in-situ to insure all installation, operation and functional
standards are met.
“The use of Interpod’s WaterMark certified bathrooms
provides assurance of a product that meets or exceeds
every relevant Australian Standard. All pipe work, fittings
and fixtures within the bathroom are installed and certified
by our licensed plumbers, and covered under QA and
WaterMark test procedures. The site plumber can rely on
this certification ensuring that they don’t take on the risk of
works inside the bathroom pod,” says Stuart.
