# Why Architects Need A Floor Plan Bathroom Layout For Shower Pods
Posted by [Mark Peers](https://blog.advanced-showers.com/author/mark-peers)
Planning is something all architects know is a key part of their job. Proper planning helps you not only include key elements that each space should have but also look at QS costs, what materials might be best to use, and how any design fits together in a practical sense. Getting the [floor plan bathroom layout](https://blog.advanced-showers.com/shower-pods) right early on matters more than most other rooms, because once walls, drainage, and services are fixed in place, changes later in the project become far more expensive.

Although every project you work on involves this, designing flats can require very careful organisation. This is because flats can often come with restrictions on space which limit what can be done or how you can do it. Student rooms/flats, in particular, can bring these issues - certainly when it comes to planning out the bathroom space.
## **Shower Pods Are An Ideal Solution**
Showers are a key part of any [modern bathroom](https://blog.advanced-showers.com/modern-shower-cubicles) and it is crucial to include them in a way that works. This is not always easy with traditional tile and tray shower units though. Putting this kind of shower into your design might involve having to rip out existing walls, alongside the cost of the tiles themselves and the labour involved in fitting them.
A much better solution to think about using are modern shower pods. These robust units typically arrive in two or three lightweight, pre-formed sections and are very simple to fit together on site. Because they can be placed almost anywhere in the room, shower pods give you real flexibility if your floor plan changes later in the design process.
The simple, straightforward fitting of shower pods means your overall spec will be a lot simpler for contractors to grasp. Due to their design, they are also very quick to install, which cuts back on the amount of time contractors have to spend on it.
## **What Are The Benefits Of Shower Pods?**
Any architect will always have an eye on the practical side of what goes into a bathroom. [Shower pods](https://blog.advanced-showers.com/why-shower-pods-are-an-architects-dream) score well here because they create a water-tight seal when fitted. This means leaks will not be an issue and any water coming from the shower when used stays inside the pod.
Beyond the watertight seal, shower pods also use no grout or mastic, so there’s far less ongoing maintenance and cleaning for whoever manages the building once it’s occupied. Because pods don’t need to be delivered to site until late in the build programme, they also reduce the risk of damage to finished work, which is handy when the [floor plan bathroom layout](https://blog.advanced-showers.com/shower-pods) is still being finalised alongside the rest of the project.
These units also offer a cost-effective solution that does not compromise on quality. When you also take into account the stylish aesthetic they bring to any bathroom, their appeal is clear.
