The advantages in constructing bathrooms in an off-site situation are significant when compared with the traditional method of building numerous bathrooms within a multi level building of apartments or hotel. These advantages could be summarised as follows;
- Significant time saving in the completion of any multi level building of up to 15-20%.
- Financial saving of approx. 3% - 3.5% of the total development costs.
- Greater control and the ability to achieve better quality of finish in a factory environment.
- Less exposure to damage of finished work by other trades, for example, the replacement of a percentage of baths that become damaged as a result of months of exposure whilst a building is under construction.
- Often on-site construction defects take months to correct after completion of a multi level building. This is substantially eliminated in an off-site manufacturing environment.
- Off-site manufacturing method eliminates the need to lift fittings, faucets, tiles, building materials etc. and store and secure these in many separate lifts to various floors.
- Reduces unnecessary and unproductive activities such as tradesmen accessing their work place by lift every day on multiple occasions - all these trips and activities add significant time and cost to the end product. The off-site manufacturing method eliminates much of these excesses.
- Eliminate the risk of theft of high priced fittings such as light fittings, faucets, tiles etc
- Estimated time saving on the construction of a building of a multi level Apartment Building with 150 bathrooms and a construction cost of say $40 million would be in the order of 3.6 months*
- The estimated cost saving on the development would be in the order of $1.4 million*
* Confirmation of these savings can be verified by consultants and builders with reference to specific projects.
