Prefabricated pods

Pods made from TRUECORE® steel are extremely cost-effective

Pods can be prefabricated and replicated in a controlled factory environment before being transported to site where they can be positioned and installed, saving time and labour.

Accuracy and precision adds speed at installation

With simple screwing together in pre-punched holes replacing any need for welding, pods made from TRUECORE® steel can be delivered to within tolerances down to 1mm. Due to the precision build of the pods, builders can install them with little or no adjustment on-site.

Reducing overall project times and costs

TRUECORE® steel has helped manufacturers reduce the time it takes to produce pods as well as increase the accuracy and precision in which they are built. For builders, prefabricated pods now offer greater product quality for a reduced cost, saving time and budget.

Save time, time and more time

Pod manufacturers are transitioning their pod construction from square hollow section frames to framing made from light gauge TRUECORE® steel with startling results. Since transitioning to TRUECORE® steel, Schiavello Manufacturing can produce a bathroom pod in as little as 60 minutes and deliver a fitted-out bathroom in as little as 13 hours. For builders, that spells significant savings in time, labour and cost.

Why builders are using pods made from TRUECORE® steel

“In Melbourne, we’re looking at some 10,000 new student rooms being built in the next four years and there’s a massive need for high quality, cost and labour-efficient construction. We can deliver a complete, fitted out bathroom pod in 13 hours.”
