Simple onsite assembly that you can do yourself

    Where level entry to the bathroom is required, rebate the floor by 70mm.

  • Step 2: Install site services to perimeter

    Step 2: Install site services to perimeter

    Site plumbing and electrical are installed in the standard way, with services accurately located to the perimeter of the pod according to the services plan.  Council pre-line inspections for services can be completed as normally scheduled.

  • Step 3. Install floor tray

    Step 3. Install floor tray

    The single piece floor tray is installed, ensuring that it is square and level and aligned with the pre-installed wastes.  PU foam is used to adhere the floor tray to the floor substrate.

  • Step 4. Install corner panels

    Step 4. Install corner panels

    Starting from the corner, the wall panel and corner post are clipped into the upstand of the floor tray.  Additional panels are clipped into place with a tongue and groove join to create a permanent watertight join

  • Step 5: Service penetrations cut

    Step 5: Service penetrations cut

    As the panels are being installed, the position of services behind the panel are identified.  These are marked on to the new panel and penetrations cut onto the panel to allow access to the service connection behind.

  • Step 6: Panel spacing set

    Step 6: Panel spacing set

    A gapping tool is provided to create a uniform space between wall panels for grouting at step 10.

    Step 9: Ceiling cap installed

    The ceiling panel is assembled and installed as a single piece.  Any service penetrations (such as downlights and ducts) are cut into the ceiling panel and the electrical and ventilation duct work connected. Hatches in the ceiling allow service access above the pod.

  • Step 10: Grouting (optional)

    Step 10: Grouting (optional)

  • Step 11: Interior fitout

    Step 11: Interior fitout

    The bathroom furniture and shower glass is fitted in the normal way according to the fit out plan.  The vanity, mirror cabinets, shower glass etc can be screw fixed direct to the Pod walls without requiring further wall support.

  • Step 12: Plumber fits & connects the tapware and toilet

    Step 12: Plumber fits the tapware and toilet

  • Step 14: Finishing

    Step 14: Finishing

    A floorer installs the entrance transition between the pod and surrounding flooring.  In non-level installations, this will include building a step. Silicone beads are applied in the normal way around the toilet base, vanity and other surfaces as required.

  • Step 15: Inspection & Sign off

    Step 15: Inspection & Sign off

    Council inspections of the bathroom pods can be completed at the same time as inspections scheduled for the rest of the site. NZ trades provide their own Producer Statements for the works they complete. MULTIPOD will issue documentation for all materials supplied by us

Offsite assembly for high volume projects

For larger, repeatable projects, fully assembled MULTIPOD Bathroom Pods can take a significant part of the bathroom build away from the construction site.

 Bathrooms can be completed in a controlled offsite environment while site works continue in parallel. Once ready, each pod is delivered to site as a finished unit for placement, connection and final commissioning.

  • Reduce onsite trade congestion

    More bathroom work is completed before delivery, reducing the number of trades needed onsite.

  • Improve consistency across repeated rooms

    Built to an agreed specification for a more consistent finish across every unit.

  • Create more programme certainty

    Earlier bathroom completion helps teams plan follow-on trades and handover with confidence.

  • Reduce onsite wet-area risk

    Controlled offsite construction reduces weather exposure, site damage and sequencing issues.

  • Support earlier quality checks

    Quality checks and selected inspections can be completed before delivery.

  • Minimise site handling and waste

    Major bathroom components arrive integrated, reducing deliveries, storage and site waste
