About Pods


Pod Projects are builders of bespoke home offices, granny flats and houses using the light steel frame building method.
The home offices can be used as a sound studio, therapy room, home gym, games room, play room, pool room, an entertainment room, man cave or retail shop. These are just a few ways of how our pods can be utilized. By adding a bathroom and kitchenette the pod can be transformed into a teen pad, guest room, a rentable living space or an Airbnb unit. These spaces are a faster and neater way of building, stylish and great solution for any extra space need on your property.
With Pods from 10m2, we can build your very own space to suit your requirements.
And the best part is the time, completion taking from as little as 10 days for office pods and 4 weeks for granny flats, depending on the size.

Our Office Pods start from 4mx2.5m (10m2) (includes 1x 1800 Palace Sliding door and 1x1200x600 window, vinyl flooring and internal electricals), We can customize the pod to suit your requirements.

The Build Process

  • Light Steel Frame

    The first step is to create a foundation of either concrete, gum poles or bricks. The galvanized light steel frame panels are erected and secured to the foundation. The internal floor base can be either a concrete slab or Plywood installed on a light steel frame panel.

  • Tyvek Wrap

    Tyvek wrap is a water vapour membrane which is then wrapped around the whole unit creating a waterproof barrier.

  • External Cladding

    Once the wrap is installed the unit can be cladded using cement fiber planks to create a shiplap look, or using flat cement fiber boards, painting the boards black and installing Timber cladding. The corrugated roof sheeting is also installed at this stage.

  • Thermulation

    The internal walls and ceiling panels are then insulated to create a comfortable work/living space and to make the unit energy efficient.

  • Internal Cladding

    The walls and ceiling internally are cladded using gypsum boards on the walls and/or polystyrene boards on the ceiling. Before installing the internal boards, the electricals, windows and door are installed.

  • Internal Finish

    Once all the boards are installed, the walls and ceiling are then primed and painted. The floor can be finished off with either Vinyl or Laminated boards and skirting or tiles. The electrical finishes are then installed.

  • The Finished Pod

    The finished pod can be used for multiple purposes: Home Office, Home Gym, Home Studio, Therapy Room, , Pool Lounge, Games Room, Coffee Shop, Teen Pad, Airbnb Rental, Granny Flat and so much more.
