Somerset manufacturing firm Offsite Solutions has won a £2.8m contract to supply a major residential tower block opposite Birmingham’s Curzon Street Station with ready assembled bathroom units.
The company, based in Highbridge, will make 567 steel-framed bathroom and shower pods for the 37-storey building on Exchange Square, which will provide 375 homes for rent.
The £68m scheme, which is being developed by Nikal for residential property business Grainger, is scheduled for completion by summer 2023.
Offsite Solutions will fully fit the bathrooms at its factory in Isleport Business Park before deliveries begin to the Midlands site later this year, continuing into summer of next year, as the building’s structure is constructed.
The contract is the second the business has been awarded by Grainger, after it clinched a £1.6m deal to make more than 300 pods for a development in the centre of Milton Keynes.
Offsite Solutions has accumulated a series of million-pound contract wins this year. It will provide nearly 1,000 pods for one of the 海角视频’s largest build-to-rent development schemes, The Cherry Park project, opposite London’s Westfield Stratford City shopping centre.
Earlier this year the company announced it had supplied more than 1,400 of the units in contracts worth over £3m for three student housing schemes.
The bathroom units for its latest project in Exchange Square will have a dark grey, large format porcelain wall and floor tiles with staggered ‘brick bond’ tile joints to the walls.

Ms Jansson said: ““Following our recent visit to Offsite Solutions’ factory, we were very impressed with the quality of the finishes, particularly the grouting and tiling.
“The quality was spot on and will result in a better quality product for our residents. Fitting out the bathrooms in a factory which has much more space and light than on site, definitely impacts positively on quality. It is also much easier for us to deal with a single supplier for the bathrooms.”
