Prefabricated plumbing systems can deliver immense labour efficiencies and cost savings to construction sites. These benefits are valued during the current building material and labour shortage crisis that Australia is facing at the moment.

In the plumbing industry, prefabricated bathroom pods have emerged as a growing force in construction projects and a significant contributor to improved productivity. European countries have championed this construction method for a number of years, and Australia is catching up quickly.

By joining the prefab revolution, Caroma is letting plumbers run their own prefabricated production lines, driving growth and helping to solve the labour crisis. By simplifying the process down to pre-roughed in-wall units that support and connect Caroma bathroom products, plumbers can install and fit-off bathrooms in commercial applications with reduced time on site.

Caroma has a suite of frames available that support a range of basins, tapware, showers and toilet suites, including the renowned Invisi II in-wall cistern with adjustable flush pipe. The frames are designed to click perfectly into the structural steel framing, providing high stability for bathroom components without impacting the wall stability.

With ever-growing pressures on plumbing contractors to complete projects on time and on budget with limited resources, Caroma’s Modular Framework systems offer an innovative and sustainable solution to install bathrooms quickly and consistently with minimal on-site labour.
