About this listen

What if you could prefabricate the most labor-intensive room in any building? That's exactly what bathroom pods deliver.

This episode explores bathroom pods as a sub-assembly strategy—complete units with fixtures, tile, plumbing, and electrical that drop into modules at the factory.

Topics covered:

Why bathrooms are the biggest labor sink in residential construction
How pod production improves waterproofing quality and reduces warranty claims
Schedule compression: from two weeks of trades to a single drop-in
The economics of scale—why pods work at 200 units but not 20
Build vs. buy: in-house pods versus specialized manufacturers

Bathroom pods represent nested prefabrication that pushes modular economics further than modules alone. Learn when they make sense for your project.

Built Different is brought to you by Spring Street Management Group. New episodes drop weekdays at 6 AM Pacific.
