A sanitaryware schedule can also help with budgeting by outlining the cost of each washroom product, giving you a good idea of the expenses and helping to keep the washroom project within budget.

A sanitaryware schedule, which provides a general overview of all specified products, helps ensure consistency in the washroom products used and that they meet the required standards.

The inconvenience caused without a washroom schedule

Identifying and selecting the appropriate washroom products for your needs can be challenging without a sanitaryware schedule. You may have to rely on guesswork, research individual products one by one, or engage in back-and-forth conversations to communicate product details, which can be time-consuming and may lead to errors or incorrect product selections.

Save yourself time and avoid the hassle

A sanitaryware schedule is an essential tool for architects and contractors when starting to design and build a commercial washroom. It provides accurate information about washroom products, includes information on which standards each washroom product meets, helps with budgeting, ensures consistency, saves time, and offers a visual guide to product codes and features.

Without a sanitaryware schedule, selecting appropriate washroom products can be challenging and time-consuming, and can also lead to errors and misunderstandings.

When you next request washroom products from your supplier, consider asking if they can recommend suitable products for your washroom by reviewing your CGI, pictures, or drawings. Alternatively, you can suggest specific products from their range, and they can create a washroom specification based on your selection.
