FAQ's:
Do we do custom builds?
Yes we do. Whatever your requirements are we can create something to suit your specific needs.
How long will it take to build and deliver?
If you purchase one of our standard ModPods we can have it delivered in roughly 3 weeks.
Do I have to pay for delivery?
There is a delivery and placement charge but this all depends on your location. This would be discussed when placing your order and included in the initial quotation.
What is the ModPod made of?
Insulated panels, which are made up from a Chromadek outer skin and Styrofoam, with an insulation thickness of 40mm.
Can I move it?
Yes, as it is a temporary structure it can be relocated.
Is it waterproof?
Absolutely 100%
What are my options for exterior cladding?
Wood, IBR, corrugated sheets or Neutek paneling with an option of wood grain or smooth, painted gloss or matt.
Can these building units be used as permanent structure?
Yes you can but you would require planning permission from council and depending on zoning in particular areas.
Can these units be used within 100 m from sea as permanent / temporary structure?
As the panels are made up from Cromadeck steel sheeting there is a risk of corrosion over time, aluminum exterior panels would be an option or a additional well coated barrier ( High quality paint coating)
Are these units fireproof / rated according to SANS codes?
Our insulated panels are fire retardant, and have a SABS code 5 rating
How good is the insulation of compete wall / roof / unit against standard brick & cement?
A 40mm thick panel is equivalent to a 250mm brick and mortar wall thickness
What is the maximum size of biggest unit that can be transported?
2.6m wide and up to 12m long, wider options are available but fall under abnormal loads.
How does the cost to build & maintain relate to standard building practices?
The cost of building with our system will be substantially lower due to the following facts: Lower cost per square meter, minimal waste of materials, quick construction time with lower holding costs. With regards to finishes and design, that would obviously have an influence. Maintenance is inevitable and I would say on par with standard building practices but that then depends on the exterior cladding, wood is obviously high maintenance compared to IBR
