But, for the developers tasked with building these new homes, this wave of housebuilding will be an opportunity that comes with significant pressure to work quickly and efficiently. Time is already a precious commodity in the sector, with projects running to tight deadlines and budgets. When it comes to large-scale developments in particular, even the smallest uptick inefficiency can be worth its weight in gold. The bathroom might not be the first place that housebuilders see an opportunity to drive up efficiency, but making the right specifying decisions in these spaces can have a huge impact overall.

Choosing products that are designed from step one to work together is an easy win for developers looking to grease the wheels on newbuild or large-scale retrofitting projects. Ideal Standard’s Singular™ philosophy allows them to do just that, by ensuring complete compatibility across almost every product and range in its portfolio. In essence, Singular™ helps give developers the freedom to build the bathroom that’s right for their project, on time and on budget.
The big issues
Delays to projects are a big cause of stress for both developers and buyers, leaving everyone in limbo, and piling the emphasis on working quickly. These delays, whether at the planning or construction stage, can come with serious costs for housebuilders. As bathrooms installations are one of the last stages of the build, delays often can’t be made up further down the line. Developers should have all of this in mind when specifying for residential bathrooms, and know that they can significantly decrease the likelihood of delays by picking the right products and making sure these pieces are built to work together.
A Singularâ„¢ solution
The Singularâ„¢ philosophy is how Ideal Standard is making product specification easier for developers with brochures full of design inspiration and visual aids, as well as our configurator tool. It gives developers and designers the freedom to unleash their creativity, choosing from different collections to build spectacular bathrooms while reducing delays with products that are built to work together.
Covering products from across its portfolio, Singular™ gives developers the opportunity to mix and match flagship products from one range, with supporting pieces from Ideal Standard’s wider offering. The same is true for functionality – if there’s a certain feature that a developer wants to include, such as a touch-free flush plate, they can do so with the knowledge that it’ll slot in perfectly. This one-stop-shop for residential bathrooms provides developers, designers, and installers with everything they need to create spectacular spaces on time and budget, while helping the housebuilding sector meet its targets.
