Design criteria for optimising the manufacture, transport, assembly and maintenance of prefabricated bathroom pods
Most prefabricated bathrooms that arrive on site with problems do not fail at the factory: they fail because of decisions taken months earlier, during the design phase. A poorly planned toilet outlet, an unchecked structural height or a layout that does not allow for manoeuvring with a pallet truck are errors that are detected too late and corrected at unnecessary cost.
This guide sets out the criteria that Modulacción recommends to architects, engineering firms, property developers and construction companies to ensure that bathroom designs are compatible with an industrialised process right from the first sketch, without the need to finalise a rigid design from the outset.
Designed for teams that need to make project decisions prior to the execution phase: architects and technical architects, MEP engineering firms, technical departments within property developers and construction companies, and BIM managers who coordinate the integration of the bathroom with the rest of the building.
Modulacción manufactures prefabricated bathrooms at its plant in Dueñas (Palencia) and works with property developers, construction companies and architectural practices across the Iberian market.
This guide is updated based on real-world project experience; if your team has a unique case, you can discuss it directly with us before finalising the design.
