About | Reflect for a moment on an innovative building technology that truly reduces onsite construction time by up to 82%. How about breath taking designs that slash the structural carbon footprints by 95% over the life of a dwelling. Wherever you are in the world, a Podular design will save you a guaranteed 16-21% per M2 or per square foot! Podular burst into worldwide recognition by demonstrating that wise planning, detailed engineering and common sense technology could diminish the need for multiple and expensive onsite trades on job- sites. The Podular range includes Residential Pods, Commercial Pods, Bathroom Pods, Ensuite Pods, Powder Room Pods and Kitchen Pods that are increasingly specified in the construction of high-rise, hotels, student accommodation, nursing homes, hospitals, & affordable housing. Fully pre engineered prior to onsite delivery by world renown Consulting and Hydraulic Engineers, Podular is equipped for operational use and produced according to all the relevant building codes. The strength of our compliance guarantee is this: Distributors are licensed Master Builders authorized to provide compliance in your location anywhere in the world, mitigating risks for developer & builder alike. Pre-engineered for completeness and dependability, Podular Products are wholly tested and qualifies principally to British & Australian standards, therefore will qualify to the standards in your state or even global location. Saving time through offsite automation means higher project yields, especially for construction such as bathrooms, wet areas and kitchens. At first glance the capital cost of Podular can appear on par when compared to a traditional site build solution, however when factors such as cost savings on prelims, reduced site staffing and reduced health and safety issues are factored in, the true comparison data below shows the Podular is the only answer in todays competitive market. Indeed independent construct industry data indicates the time spent building wet areas using traditional methods are significantly increased by time lost by the trades and the site management time they absorb. Traditional Construction 120 days On Site time (Approximate) Factory built Pod 12 days On Site time (Approximate) Hours Saved 108 days On Site time (Approximate) Management/prelims time has not been included in the data. Trying to co-ordinate trades and maintaining the , programme lost time when one trade has finished but another is not ready to start, the problems with getting each trade to complete their work in a single visit all add up to higher costs and construction delays. Most importantly, the reduction in bank interest therefore plays a significant role in saving money for the developer. The worst place to maintain quality is on a construction site: The added reassurance that each Podular has been through a stringent documented quality control procedure is most beneficial. Benefits There are many benefits of offsite Podular construction including: Greater speed of construction period Quality control Guaranteed Greater predictability by maintaining and reducing programme and costs Reduced environmental impact Minimal disruption to existing operations Reduction of onsite wet trades Improved health and safety Essential and functional design Pre-Engineered certified structure Effortless positioning and installation (crane friendly lift fittings) All services are completely integrated and concealed Optional alarm system with sound or flashing light (Disabled) Bathroom Floor with a backup polyester containment tray in case of any kind of leakage or spillage Optional fixtures, fittings and accessories may be chosen by the purchaser Fixed costs no hidden cost blow outs Single supplier [greater control] Optional insulated |
