But what are prefab ablution blocks and facilities?
Prefab ablution blocks and facilities are purpose-built amenity units, constructed in a factory and delivered to site ready to connect. This approach means essential facilities like toilets, showers, kitchens and laundries can be installed quickly – with less disruption than traditional builds.
Advance Build’s offsite approach gives you:
-Faster installation
-High-quality, durable builds
-Less ongoing maintenance
-Minimal disruption to guests and day-to-day operations.
Depending on the size, layout and needs of your site, you can choose from a range of options, including:
-Combined ablution blocks (toilets + showers)
-Standalone prefab toilet blocks
-Kitchen facilities
-Laundries.
Advance Build designs all of these for high-traffic, heavy-use environments. In other words, they are built to last.
Why is prefab better for holiday park owners, operators and developers?
The tourism sector is seasonal. So when it arrives, you want your park or campground ready to welcome guests. Building facilities using the prefab approach will:
-Reduce your holiday park’s downtime
-Minimise disruption to guests (offsite construction).
Prefab also helps you:
-Provide your visitors with high-quality amenities
-Choose from flexible designs and optionsBuild to compliance standards (including for accessibility)
-Scale your facilities to suit the size and needs of your park.
-In short, prefab keeps your park guest-ready – without the stress.
