Bathroom pod manufacturer Offsite Solutions has delivered its second project for developer Zeal Hotels.

The £700,000 contract for main contractor Midas Construction saw Offsite Solutions manufacture 136 steel-framed bathroom pods for the new £11.8m Ibis Plaza Hotel at Woodlands Court Business Park in Bridgwater, Somerset.

Due to open early 2021, the new hotel will provide quality accommodation for people working in and visiting the area.

This project follows Offsite Solutions’ completion of the bathroom contract for the Holiday Inn Express which was built by Midas for Zeal Hotels, also in Bridgwater.

The stylish shower rooms for the Ibis Plaza were fully fitted out offsite and craned into position to reduce the installation time to just a few hours.

The pods feature a large walk-in shower with a fixed glass panel and pivot glass door; a contemporary square hand basin mounted on a floating black granite-effect shelf with a black-finished metal towel rail below; wall-mounted toilet with brushed satin dual flush fitting, and Roca sanitaryware.

Tony Clark, Commercial Director of Zeal Hotels, said: “We decided with our construction partner Midas that bathroom pods for these two projects were the way forward.

“The use of offsite manufacturing for the shower rooms brought a level and consistency of quality that is extremely difficult to achieve with in-situ construction.

“The pods for both schemes were designed at the early stages so the bathrooms are manufactured before work started on site. This approach worked very well.”

Neil Lewis, Senior Project Manager at Midas, said, “Midas has used Offsite Solutions’ bathroom pods extensively and for 16 projects to date – from hotels to student accommodation.

“In addition to the quality benefits, pods reduce time on site, involve less subcontracted labour and less supervision of trades. These factors all contributed to improved efficiency on site.”
