Dispatch & delivery
Stage by stage
Eight stages.
Twenty weeks. One standard.
Every GRP pod follows the same rigorous, repeatable path — because a predictable process is what makes a predictable programme.
01 · Week 0
Duration: 1 week
Order & project kick-off
Contract award, project team introduced, programme aligned to your construction sequence and floor-by-floor delivery plan.
02 · Weeks 1–2
Duration: 2 weeks
Specification & design freeze
Layouts, M&E, finishes and sanitaryware locked. Full CAD technical drawings issued and signed off before a single mould opens.
03 · Weeks 3–5
Duration: 3 weeks
Procurement
All sanitaryware, brassware, doors and fit-out components ordered against approved schedules. Long-lead items released first.
04 · Weeks 6–7
Duration: 2 weeks
Prototype pod & sign-off
A fully finished sample pod built, inspected and formally signed off by client, architect and M&E consultant before production release.
05 · Weeks 8–15
Duration: 8 weeks
Manufacture
GRP shells laid up in-house, first-fix M&E installed, sanitaryware, doors and joinery fitted in a controlled factory environment.
06 · Weeks 16–17
Duration: 2 weeks
Quality assurance
Every pod water-tested, electrically tested and photographed against a documented digital QA checklist. Traceable, pod-by-pod.
07 · Week 18
Duration: 1 week
Dispatch
Pods wrapped, protected and loaded onto our own fleet. Delivery scheduled to your crane availability, not the other way round.
08 · Weeks 19–20
Duration: 1–2 weeks
Delivery to site
Our trained drivers deliver just-in-time to the tower. Craned into position ready for follow-on trades — on time, in full, every time.
Why 20 weeks
Faster because it's
moulded, not built.
A one-piece GRP shell removes the layered wet-trade sequence that dominates a tiled bathroom. No render, no screed cure, no tile-set-and-grout cycle — the pod comes out of the mould already watertight.
That compressed manufacturing window is what gets you to site in twenty weeks without cutting a corner on QA or specification.

Steel framed pod?
28-week programme.
Fully tiled steel framed pods carry a longer procurement and fit-out window — see the full programme mapped stage by stage.
