What do Pre-Built Bathrooms Cost?
To better understand these concepts let’s take a look at an actual example. For the purposes of this example we are using data from a 125 room select service hotel located in the suburban Midwest. This bathroom is a typical 50 square-foot bathroom that includes a tile floor, tub, toilet, and granite vanity.

Conclusion
Eggrock bathrooms cost about the same as site built bathrooms on a direct cost basis but can result in 24% savings due to faster construction and reduced punch-list. How much is it really worth to have all your hotel bathrooms in perfect condition at the end of the construction project? How much of your time and delays are associated with the headaches of going back and fixing problems later. Finally, how do your guests really feel about one of the most important areas impacting their satisfaction? Peeling wall vinyl, large caulk joints, loose fixtures, sloppy tile work, and poor paint jobs don't make a good impression and we all see it in virtually every hotel in which we stay.
