Altersoft and its distributors are able to meet customer requirements from simply supplying the toilet facility directly to the site or depot or they can offer a full supply and installation service for the IPtoilet facilities. These services can include the following:
Site Plans:
Altersoft can provide site plans for the location of the toilet facility including the relationship to boundaries, roads and the position of services. This plan can be incorporated as part of the building consent information for the particular site.
Building Consent Details:
Altersoft will normally provide a set of building consent drawings which includes floor plans, elevations, sections, foundations and services plans along with engineering calculations and producer statements for the structure.
Site Works:
Once consent is approved, Altersoft will normally be able to undertake all the site works including securing the site with security fencing and arranging the site clearance and excavation of the surface.
Foundations:
Altersoft will excavate the foundations, place the formwork and reinforcing steel and pour the foundations prior to the delivery of the unit.
Service Installation:

Transport and Craneage:
Altersoft will normally arrange for the toilet unit to be transported to the site and for a suitable sized crane to be available to lift the toilet unit into its final position ensuring that it is plumb and level while the crane is on site.
Toilet Installation:
Once the toilet is down on the foundations, it can be secured to the foundations as required. Great care has to be taken to ensure that the foundations are at the correct level to allow the paving to fall away from the entrance eliminating ponding or flooding inside the cubicle. The gradient of any paving to the unit is of critical importance for disabled users.
Connection of Services:
Once the toilet unit is in position, Altersoft will trench back under the unit to connect the services from the service hole in the service area through to the services just outside the toilet unit. It is important that there are no stub ups of services in position prior to the unit's arrival because it is impossible to get these to align correctly with the facility. It is more important that the services are only connected to the toilet unit once the toilet is in position on its foundations.
Paving:
Altersoft will normally provide and install the paving around the toilet facility to match in with the surrounding environment as required by the designers.
