Bathrooms the easy way…..Innovative bathroom construction, now in the UAE
Al Rajhi Investment Group has formed a company located at Ras Al Khaimah in the UAE to create pre-engineered bathrooms. ‘UNIPODS LLC’ offers highly versatile solutions for the construction industry. UNIPODS have entered the market with intension of supplying pre-fabricated bathroom units for both commercial and residential building market though out the MENA region.
The bathroom pods actually are prefabricated utilizing innovative, sustainable construction techniques, built at the UNIPODS factory, they are delivered as completed units - with showers, sinks, toilets and even mirrors in place - to the construction site, and simply installed as the building is erected. The off-site construction reduces time, site traffic and environmental impact on the project site. It also eliminates construction waste, which is produced by site contractors using traditional techniques, giving a saving of up to 20%.
The pods are built to developer's specs at UNIPODS’ factory and then delivered complete to the project site. The pods are available for both new build and renovation projects and can be installed by either the developer’s contractor or UNIPODS contractors.
This innovative concept has proven highly successful in Europe where it has been used for over 40 years and is utilized by up to 90% of new hotel construction. It is already proving a success in the Middle East having already made its way into the Middle East’s hospitality construction market.
According Henrik Christiansen, CEO of UNIPODS, the company is able to design bathroom pods across all hospitality and construction segments. "We create customized bathroom pods to any shape or size with any interior finishes that a developer specifies," he said, adding: "We have our own architects and engineers that can help you design any pod that you would like."
UNIPODS is 100% owned by Al Rajhi Investment Group, one of the largest and most successful diversified business groups in the region.
UNIPODS has exhibited its ‘turnkey’ bathroom solutions at the ‘BIG 5’ event, which took place in UAE during the period between 23 and 27 November 2008.
