Efficiency at scale: Applying prefabrication and modular construction principles to commercial bathroom installation

While building and infrastructure demand continues to rise, supply chain constraints are placing pressure on property prices as well as the cost of materials and labour. Even in a specific field like bathroom installation, there is significant pressure on the industry to find new innovations in systems and processes to help meet the growing backlog of new building developments. While cost-effective products are available, real game-changing savings can be found in the adoption of highly-efficient prefabrication and modular construction methods, particularly for large-scale commercial projects with consistent product specifications.

Efficiency at scale: Applying prefabrication and modular construction principles to commercial bathroom installation, we examine these issues and how off-site manufacturing can increase construction quality, efficiency and productivity. First, we discuss the cost and resource challenges faced by today’s commercial bathroom projects and highlight the critical rough-in stage. We then explore how prefabrication and modulation construction methods fit into the picture and explain the advantages of off-site manufacturing. Finally, we look at how these methods underpin a new solution designed for bathroom fixture installation.

Australian-owned and operated, leading bathroom product provider Caroma has now joined the “prefab revolution” by developing a suite of prefabricated in-wall framing systems called CAMFIS (Caroma Modular Frame Installation Solution), which allows for plumbers to run their own prefabricated production lines and help solve their labour crisis and drive growth.
