INTRODUCTION
The advantages are many, among others: fixed price and equally
high quality on all bathrooms thanks to an industrialized production
giving you increased control of the costs, reduced labour work on site
and just-on-time deliveries that allow you to reduce building site lead
times, simplified coordination thanks to one single contractor instead
of numerous trade teams as well as less material waste on site.
Enjoy!
MATERIALS
what is a prefabricated bathroom pod made of?
• Fire resistance
• Sound insulation
The prefabricated
bathroom pods in
reinforced, light-weight
concrete are adapted to
projects using traditional
construction techniques
The maximum
expression
of dry
construction
• Fixed costs from the start without surprises along the way
• Deliveries just-on-time according to agreed delivery schedule in
line with the progress of the building site
The door and door frame are more exposed and difficult to protect
ARE DOORS AND during the transportation and installation of the bathroom pods
DOOR FRAME on site and up until the completion of the building structure.
INCLUDED? Therefore, they are generally installed on site to avoid possible
damages, even aesthetic ones. Upon request the door frame and
door can however be part of the supply and installed in the factory.
TAILOR-MADE....INDUSTRIALLY
PRODUCED PREFABRICATED PODS
Project-based, bespoke design and production
A. The structure
The design of each prefabricated bathroom pod, both
architectural and in terms of the technical installations, is
developed by the technical department in collaboration with the
client and consultants involved in the project to align fully with
the project’s requests and in accordance with current norms and
standards.
B. Personalized finishes
Focus on the design: off-site manufacturing at an industrial price
but with handcrafted quality, particularly adapted to luxury
hospitality or residential developments. The wall and floor
finishes, sanitary ware and bathroom furniture are all chosen by
the client to create a bespoke and unique product in line with the
investor and the architect’s requests.
PREFABRICATED
COMBINATIONS:
BATHROOM - KITCHEN
If you are considering modular bathrooms, why not also
consider modular kitchens? The prefabricated kitchen module
is suitable for all residential and hospitality developments such
as resorts, apartment hotels, student accommodations and
senior housings.
When both the bathroom and the kitchen are required, it is possible
to opt for the Combi solution, which consists of a hybrid module
where the kitchen plumbing and electrical installations are installed
onto one of the bathroom walls together with finishes, kitchen
furniture and domestic appliances and become an integrated part of
the bathroom pod.
In this case the time saved on site multiplies since the need for
coordination of on-site teams is reduced even further.

How to choose between the two different types of
prefabricated pods: Monolite Smart or Monolite Concrete?
The difference between the Monolite Concrete pod and the Monolite
Smart pod is the kind of shell structure used.
In projects where resistance, solidity and durability are of great
importance and where the floor screeds can tolerate an elevated
weight load, the Monolite Concrete module is definitely the ideal
choice.
The weight difference per square meter between the Concrete and
the Smart module is significant. The Monolite Concrete pod weighs
approximately 800 kg/m2 while the Monolite Smart pod weighs
approximately 450 kg/m2. Upon request it is possible to reduce the
weight of both pod types by for example reducing the concrete density.

How thick is the floor of the prefabricated bathroom?

Is there a price difference between the two types of
prefabricated modules?
06
Does the prefabricated bathroom have the same internal
finishes and functionalities as a site-built bathroom?
07
What is the external finish of the modular bathroom?
Are the door and the door frame included in the price?
09 Normally the door and door frame are not part of the modular
bathroom supply because of the elevated risk of damage during
transportation or installation on site. Therefore, the door and
frame are usually mounted on site once the bathroom pod has been
positioned inside the building structure. Upon request, it is in any case
possible to add these elements to the supply and have them mounted
already in the factory.
Usually, the freight cost DAP building site (Incoterms 2020) is already
included in the unit price of the prefabricated bathroom and is
calculated in the offer phase.
