The Future of Bathroom Construction: Digital Component Construction

The bathroom no longer needs to be the bottleneck of your construction project, with Falkbuilt's Digital Component Construction. Our innovative solutions for bathrooms provide a faster, cleaner, and more efficient process, saving you time, frustration, and money.

The Challenges of Conventional Bathroom Construction

Conventional bathroom construction is often complicated by challenges that can slow down projects, drive up costs, and compromise quality. These spaces require the coordination of multiple trades within a small footprint, and delays can often create a domino effect, pushing back schedules and increasing labor costs. And because bathrooms are often completed near the end of a project, they can suffer from rushed timelines which often lead to spaces that don’t necessarily maximize efficiency or design potential.

Skilled Labor One of the most significant challenges in bathroom construction is the reliance on skilled labor. Skilled craftspeople like tile setters are in high demand and short supply. There are often long wait times for skilled labor, which can cause project delays.

Conventional Materials Conventional tiles come with challenges such as multiple grout lines and tile porosity, which make it not only difficult to clean (particularly important in the healthcare or hospitality environments), but can also create potential weak spots for water damage and staining. With conventional walls, mounting fixtures like sinks, handrails, and mirrors requires added blocking by other trades, adding labor and cost. Conventional drywall is porous and creates large amounts of dust and waste onsite, and fails to stand up to rigorous cleaning and sanitization protocols required in a high use area like a bathroom.

Slow + Costly with Conventional Methods Contractors and developers increasingly seek solutions that address these pain points without compromising quality, design flexibility, or the structural integrity of the project. What if there was a way to simplify coordination, speed up the process, and provide durable, beautiful spaces that don’t look like an afterthought? Enter Falkbuilt’s offsite solution - an innovation for better bathroom construction.

Falkbuilt’s Digital Component Construction cuts project timelines by 40% compared to conventional construction.

Falkbuilt’s Solutions for Bathrooms: A Better Way Forward

Our solutions for better bathrooms address these challenges head-on, offering a straightforward, efficient, and effective approach to bathroom construction.

Ease of Installation Falkbuilt’s digital components are precision cut offsite and designed for quick, clean installation, significantly reducing the time spent on-site compared to conventional methods. Familiar stick-built methodology, combined with click-in components and finished pre-cut cladding accelerate completion while allowing full accessibility throughout for plumbing and electrical trades.

Fast Lead Times Unlike conventional construction materials that can have long lead times, once designs are finalized, Falkbuilt’s digital components can be delivered to your job site in just 4 weeks, keeping projects on schedule and within budget.

Next-Level Materials Robust cladding, whether covered in DuraFalk or hermetically sealed in Falkskin, provides amazing durability and cleanability. Inside the wall, Falkbuilt’s Superstuds offer super-flexibility, allowing plumbing to run horizontally or vertically without conflict. Digital horizontals feature a universal profile, and by simply removing a panel or two, full access is easily gained to repair or replace in-wall elements and walls can even be pre-wired with critical power. Fixtures like sinks, handrails, mirrors, and dispensers can be mounted directly onto our solid walls without the need for additional backing, up to 400 lbs.

Conventional tiles can be combined with Falkbuilt’s digital components to create a beautiful, custom result while shortening the project timeline. A hybrid approach of integrating traditional tiles with advanced prefab construction can achieve a balance of classic aesthetics and modern efficiency.

Falkton, a tile alternative for walls,showers, and bathing areas, is a sustainable porcelain surface inspired by natural stone, offering beauty and performance, and can be installed by your Falkbuilt Install Team. Falkton tile installed with waterproof backer and silicone seal provides high resistance to stains and water damage, while fewer grout lines ensure longer life and easy cleanability.

Unlike pre-assembled, rigid modular bathroom pods,with their conventional material limitations, which present challenges like shrinking and cracking, limited design flexibility, and condensation issues in poorly ventilated models, our bathroom solutions create a better alternative. Our durable Falkton shower with prefabricated pan base is an ideal application for showers, for a fast, seamless installation that minimizes dust and disruption.
