Planning a commercial upgrade or new facility in Perth? If your project includes shower cubicles, getting your budget right from the outset is critical. Whether you’re managing a school, aquatic centre, gym, or workplace amenity, there are several key cost factors to consider — and a few smart ways to get the best value without compromising quality.
In this post, we break down the essentials of budgeting for commercial shower cubicles, including cost drivers, timelines, and how to choose the right supplier for long-term savings.
1. What Influences the Cost of Shower Cubicles?
Several elements impact the cost of commercial shower cubicles. Here’s what to consider when developing your budget:
Materials
Material choice affects both price and performance. For example, Cubispec offers a range of moisture-resistant, durable materials such as Compact Laminate and Polymer, ideal for high-humidity environments like showers. These materials are engineered to resist water damage, mould, and swelling — ensuring a longer lifespan and better return on investment.
Size and Layout
More cubicles mean more material and labour costs. Layouts that require custom angles, integrated privacy features, or special access considerations (e.g. accessible cubicles) may add to the overall spend.
Customisation and Features
Options like anti-slip flooring, integrated hooks, benches, or ventilation systems can enhance the user experience but should be accounted for early in the budgeting process.
Installation Complexity
Sites with limited access, plumbing requirements, or demolition needs may increase labour costs. Partnering with a supplier like Cubispec who understands local conditions in WA can help reduce unexpected challenges.
2. Timelines: How Long Should You Allow?
Planning your project timeline is just as important as cost.
- Design Consultation & Quoting – 1 to 2 weeks
- Manufacturing / Procurement – 3 to 5 weeks depending on customisation
- Installation – Typically 2 to 5 days depending on the scale
Working with an experienced team like Cubispec ensures accurate timelines and efficient project delivery, keeping your facility’s operations on track.
3. Getting the Best Value for Your Investment
Cost is important — but value is about durability, functionality, and service. Here’s how to make sure your investment pays off:
Choose Long-Lasting Materials
Cheaper alternatives may seem attractive upfront, but inferior products can swell, delaminate or warp in wet conditions. Cubispec’s materials are engineered to last in commercial environments — reducing replacement costs over time.
