From Frustration to Real Change: How H³ Wellness Pods Are Transforming Jobsite Sanitation

Maria, a foreman on a high-rise construction project, had grown used to a frustrating reality: every few hours, workers would leave their stations to ride down ten floors just to use a porta-potty.

“It wasn’t just the time lost,” she said. “It was the experience—plastic walls, no running water, no privacy. For the women on our team, it was even worse.”

For years, this has been the standard across job sites: uncomfortable, unsanitary, and inefficient restroom solutions. But B&T Manufacturing, in collaboration with Lendlease, saw an opportunity to raise the bar. Their answer? The H³ Wellness Pod—a modular, clean, and human-centered bathroom solution designed specifically for job sites like Maria’s.

A Smarter Way to Support the Crew

When B&T Manufacturing began placing H³ Pods on high-rise projects, the change was immediate. Workers could access restrooms right near their work areas instead of wasting time going up and down floors.

It saved countless crew-hours,” said one site manager. More importantly, it showed our crews that we value their time.”

And those minutes add up—directly impacting productivity on large-scale projects. But the pods did more than just save time. They also changed how people felt at work.

One worker shared, It was the first time I didnt dread using the bathroom. Its clean, warm, quiet—like something youd find in an office, not on a job site.”

The H³ Pod includes hot running water, enclosed private stalls, porcelain fixtures, and even climate control. It feels less like a temporary restroom and more like a wellness space.

With optional features like UV sterilization and easy-to-clean surfaces, hygiene and safety are no longer afterthoughts. Especially in a post-COVID world, this level of cleanliness matters—not just for health, but for peace of mind.

More Than Just Construction

While the H³ Pod was designed for the job site, its already finding uses beyond construction. Manufacturing plants, entertainment venues, and even emergency response teams are exploring how modular wellness spaces can support their people, too.

These pods arent just solving a sanitation issue. Theyre changing the way organizations think about employee care. Because when people feel respected in the basics—like where they use the restroom—theyre more likely to stay engaged, take pride in their work, and show up ready to contribute.

As one site manager put it, We didnt realize how big of an impact this would make. Its not just about bathrooms—its about showing our crews that we see them, and we care.”

Takeaways:

  1. Productivity starts with access.
    H³ Pods reduce time lost to long bathroom breaks and help keep projects moving on schedule.
  2. Comfort builds morale.
    Private, clean, climate-controlled restrooms create a better work environment—and that makes teams stronger.
  3. Built to scale.
    With consistent factory-built quality and quick deployment, these pods can serve any project or industry that values its people.
