Starting early is key; the earlier the better but no later than Design Development (DD) Have a correct scope Approach your contractor early By doing the above, you can maximize the value of any prefab or modular solution by:​​​​ Accelerate your schedule – open earlier provides following benefits: Reduce your general conditions Generate revenue faster Reduce your financing costs Lower insurance costs on site by eliminating labor and de-risking job – lower worker’s comp, lower overall CCIP/OCIP and builder’s risk Lower staffing costs by eliminating punch list management Potentially direct materials and labor savings by using the most experienced, best buying power POD provider in North America

Roughly about 100-150 hours depending on the complexity of the pod.

No.

SurePods continues to pioneer the use of ultra-thin floor substrates. Reduced pod floor thickness can have significant cost benefits by reducing and often eliminating the need for added buildup of the floor outside the pod. Acceptable door thresholds can be achieved using a special beveled threshold with a 2:1 slope as shown below, in combination with smart choices of flooring materials inside and outside the modular units. Selection of non-brittle flooring materials such as LVT, engineered flooring and fluid applied finishes can allow for an overall reduction in the required pod subfloor. This will ultimately benefit the floor transition. Project conditions will vary, and the exact threshold detail will be determined in the pre-construction planning phase.

Either way, we do both.

While the building façade is still open.

A leading advantage of using SurePods is that they are built in a strict, quality-controlled factory setting, with protection from the elements. But how exactly is their superior quality preserved during transport? Once the pods are manufactured, they are wrapped in waterproof and weatherproof packaging and delivered to the jobsite when the building is being erected. From manufacturing to delivery, we stand behind our surety of quality, providing a 5-year structural warranty, a 1-year workmanship warranty and a 5-year no crack ceiling.

30+ pods can be delivered and installed in a shift.

We eliminate it.

Depends on the job, between 5-10 business days once we are into production.

For the majority of Hospitality and Residential projects, the answer is no. Healthcare: Yes, to accommodate sloped floor.

Higher Cost Construction Markets: Very cost effective across the board. Lower Cost Construction Markets: May have to evaluate additional value adds for pods, such as, time-savings, de-risking the jobsite and job simplification. Either way, do the math, early to determine if pods will work for you, make pods the basis of your design and don't chase credits with subcontractors. We have many cost models that can help with the process.

Step 1: Pods are loaded into the center of each room fully wrapped and elevated until the building is dry Step 2: 3D Revit models and full-size templates are used to coordinate the floor penetrations Step 3: Fire-rated walls and waste stacks are pre-installed before pods are set into position Step 4: Thin set is troweled on the whole area of where the pod will sit Step 5: Pod is unwrapped and inspected before being pushed into final position Step 6: Pod water supply manifolds and electrical whips are connected Step 7: Toilet, shower and lavatory drainage connections are completed and tested Step 8: Pod is framed in and drywall is hung on exposed pod walls to finish guestroom corner Step 9: Specially beveled pod entry door threshold is fit and installed

Pods are an open system. They can be inpected on-site or in our plant.

SurePods are wrapped, sealed with weatherproofing and elevated on a pallet to withstand the elements that surround them before dry in.
