Abstract
This diploma thesis deals with the industrial construction of prefabricated bathroom and manufactured bathroom.
During 1961-1975 were in Sweden built, in total, about 920 000 apartments. In multi-family buildings 850 000 of these apartments exist today. About 20% of the apartments have been renovated, much less than needed to meet today’s requirements. The apartments were built under time pressure and new types of materials and constructions were used. Therefore many of the apartments are in need of renovation. Major investments are needed in both engineering and effective solutions.
This study was based on contacts with relevant actors and interviews were booked. We have made a deeper research on the topic in parallel with the interviews by studying literature, articles and other media. Following, the interviews were compiled and compared with the purpose of the study.
The future looks bright for the prefabricated bathroom industry as housing and construction companies intend to continue to select this method rather than place-built bathrooms. The future success is just a matter of time and price.
