IDEA #9L0FE3 Self-contained bathroom unit construction method

The construction method, primarily for constructing bathroom units for installation in multi-storey buildings, involves constructing the units at a site remote from the installation site with each unit consisting of a slab unit 2, four wall units and a roof unit, all of which are constructed using reinforcement 3 and concrete. The bathroom may be disposed with conduits and with openings and spaces within the wall units in accordance with the building design and the slab unit may be provided with recesses in its bottom surface. The slab unit is preferably cast first, after which the walls and then the roof are subsequently cast, using a removable formwork 4 at each stage and then the roof unit. Also disclosed is a method for installing a prefabricated bathroom in a multi-storey unit, where the unit is seated on suitable levelled pads disposed at various points on the floor surface where the unit will be installed and where a layer of cement sand slurry has been applied to the floor surface.
