Bathroom pod

General Description of Bathroom Pod Construction

EcoReadyBath bathroom pods are based on a steel floor frame system and developed as project-specific prefabricated bathroom units.

• The floor structure is formed on a steel frame.
• Wall structures are made from cold-formed steel profiles mechanically connected with screws and bolts.
• Wall cladding is selected to provide the required structural performance and suitability for lightweight steel-frame construction.
• The ceiling construction consists of layered composite panels with a total thickness of approximately 24 mm.
• Pod geometry is developed in accordance with project-specific requirements, applicable regulations and required clearances. Where relevant, accessibility requirements such as DIN 18040-1 and DIN 18040-2 can be taken into account.
• Final pod weight depends on dimensions, structural build-up, finishes and sanitary equipment.

For initial structural and BIM coordination, the following indicative planning loads may be assumed:

• Bathroom pods up to 4 m²: approx. 330–350 kg/m²
• Bathroom pods from 4 to 6 m²: approx. 250–300 kg/m²
• Bathroom pods above 7 m²: approx. 180–250 kg/m²

These values are intended for early-stage coordination only. Final module weight is confirmed during project-specific design development.

Configurable BIM Model Parameters

The EcoReadyBath BIM object allows selected geometric and equipment parameters to be adjusted for early planning and coordination.

• Shower tray width: 800–1,500 mm, adjustable in 100 mm increments
• WC drainage position: adjustable within a defined 200 mm range to the left or right
• Pod length: standard 2,400 mm; maximum 3,500 mm
• Service shaft: horizontal dimension adjustable
• Door position: controlled in relation to required clearances around the shower and WC zone
• Optional accessories: shower mixer, basin mixer, shower caddy, toilet paper holder, toilet brush and mirror can be switched on or off in the model
• Pod floor build-up: approximately 90–150 mm
• Internal clear height: minimum approximately 2,250 mm
• Maximum transport height: approximately 2,840 mm

The BIM model is intended as a configurable planning and coordination tool. Final bathroom pod dimensions, construction, interfaces and equipment are developed specifically for each project.
