Eggrock: Factory-built Complete Bathrooms and Vanities

Case Study:
Holiday Inn Express

Customer Comments:

“Bathrooms are a critical part of hotel construction and are often a cause for delays. The process involves many trades that cannot all work at the same time and need to work in intricate order, should a one subcontractor delay a portion of the job or become out of sync there is a potential domino effect. The Eggrock solution allows us to compress our construction schedule, control cost, and ensure consistent quality. We were impressed with Eggrock’s ability to custom engineer a bathroom with an eye for detail, yet exceed our stringent design standards for quality.”

Property Description:

A new four-story business and tourist hotel located in the Nashville area with 95 traditional guest rooms.

Project Objective
The property owner was facing a fast-track construction schedule and wanted to do everything possible to meet the schedule – or improve on it. While at the same time insisting on the highest possible quality standards including custom tiled walls.

Construction Challenges:
The project was designed around the Infinity Structural System, consisting of an Epicore MSR Composite Floor System on pre-panelized load-bearing metal stud walls. Each bathroom featured a granite vanity, tub/shower combination, toilet, towel bars, and mirror and incorporated a wall vent with a fire damper. In addition, all demising walls inside the hotel were designed to be load-bearing.

The Eggrock Solution:

Eggrock developed a bathroom that incorporated the hallway wall, plumbing risers, and mechanical shaft to minimize as much site construction as possible. Eggrock’s super strong ThinFloor™ System allowed the bathroom to be placed directly on the concrete slab, while providing a seamless transition to the carpeted floor. A proprietary lifting system was used to quickly load bathrooms into position at the construction site by crane.
