Trade Coordination

Scope Responsibility

• Early on in the design process work with all of the trades involved in the POD integration to clearly define the scope of each contractor.
• Special focus on plumbing and framing integration
• Results in a continuously updated Responsibility Matrix for all trades

Coordinated Model Development

• Design a model that can be integrated into the project model (Navisworks/Autocad) in order to identify any clashes and confirm the agreed upon connection locations for all trades.
• Results in the Model that will serve as the basis for our production.

Mockup / Prototype Units and Production Requirements

• Produce non-conforming mockups of the PODs as required and ship these to the project site (or another agreed upon location) for evaluation by all trades prior to beginning production.
• This also will allow an opportunity to evaluate finishes and make any final changes before production begins.
• Results in a Formal Approval of the mockup by all trades and benchmark for production

POD Penetration Templates

• Provide a template of each POD type with the connection locations clearly identified.
• This template will serve as an aid to check the sleeve locations (or can mark locations if core drilling after the concrete has cured).
• Drawings indicating each penetration location relative to grid lines or any other reference point as required by the site plumbing contractor.

POD Placement and Connection Simulation

• Neopod has a platform in our facility that can be used to simulate the final POD placement and to evaluate the connection locations on the prototype.
• We recommend shipping and setting two conforming PODs prior to the bulk delivery to evaluate this on site as well.

Neopod Assistance and Equipment

• Neopod representatives will be present at the first POD delivery and installation to train those involved on how best to move and set the PODs.
• Custom moving equipment will be provided by Neopod for the most efficient movement and placement of PODS onsite.
