Offsite Solutions Lands £5M Contracts for Manchester Housing Scheme

Offsite Solutions, a bathroom pod manufacturer based in Highbridge, has secured two new contracts worth £5 million. The contracts involve the production of 1,487 bathroom pods for three housing complexes at Square Gardens, a £400 million residential scheme in Manchester.

This new project marks the first application of Offsite Solutions’ new large format tile-effect finish for its Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) bathroom pods. The company has recently developed an expanded range of finishes to broaden the scope of factory-finished GRP shower rooms and bathrooms, specifically for the build-to-rent sector.

Offsite Solutions will manufacture 1,487 GRP shower rooms and ensuite bathrooms for towers A, B, and block D up to the 17th storey. All the pods will be supplied floorless, a highly efficient solution to minimise floor build-up on high-rise apartment projects.

Andy Thomas, Operations Director at Downing, the company behind the Square Gardens project, praised the benefits of offsite manufacturing, highlighting the advantages in terms of programme, reduction of waste on site, and certainty in quality. He also commended the advancements in pod technology and the quality of finish achieved by Offsite Solutions.

James Stephens, Managing Director of Offsite Solutions, expressed his delight at working on Downing’s major co-living development in Manchester. He emphasised the cost-saving benefits of GRP pods over in-situ bathroom construction and the potential for standardised designs to increase the efficiency of construction and optimise the benefits of offsite manufacturing.

The Square Gardens project, due for completion in 2024, aims to enhance residents’ city centre living experience by providing an affordable, secure, and convenient place to live that fosters a vibrant new connected community.
