What our clients Say about us
“…the team absolutely fantastic. The workmanship is first-class and the finishes are looking so good. I found it easy as I didn’t have to chase trades myself, and be disappointed when they didn’t turn up like I’ve had with other projects.”
“We love our 2 bedroom 1 bathroom Pod. There is so much natural light, and the simplicity together with the usability of the design makes living here a joy.”
“We built a Pod to move into while our home was being renovated, turns out, our agent said The Pod made our property value increase for double what we paid for the Pod. We were really happy when we sold the property, we got the highest price on the street”
