Transportable Prefab Homes

We put the Architecture in New Zealand's Transportable Homes

What do we mean by an architectural transportable home? Well, it’s transportable because we make it at our factory and transport it to your site of choice. There it can remain transportable, on the trailer that delivered it, or you can put it down, plumb it in and firmly attach it to the ground.

As for the architecture aspect, that means this is a considerable improvement on portable homes that have gone before. It’s been thought through and designed by professionals with experience building conventional houses. That is our background; in fact, we spent years in the construction business before coming up with this idea and now transportable homes in NZ are what we do best. We are in the business of providing people with portable homes, so if you are looking for portable homes in NZ and found yourself here, you are in exactly the right place.

Architectural Prefab Homes in New Zealand

Sometimes a new idea needs a little time to establish itself in the vocabulary of the general public, particularly if it is a vast improvement on a previous idea. Such is the case with architectural prefab homes. Everybody knows what prefab means: it tells you it was made somewhere and taken in multiple parts to the site it is to call home.

Prefab houses have been around for a long time, but the way we at Ecopod Concepts build them takes them to a whole new level. Ours are made mainly from timber and all the fittings and services are installed by professionals from the appropriate trade. In other words, our prebuilt homes in NZ are of superior quality. They are substantial, properly built, and something our customers are proud to call home.

The New Vocabulary of Prefab Homes in New Zealand

People search for modular homes in NZ. They look for prefab homes in NZ. But they’re all looking for versions of the same thing.

Eco? Short for ecological, as everyone knows. And, our transportable homes are not just mainly made of wood, but for every unit we build, we plant 10 native trees in a regenerating forest in the Auckland area.

Modular? Comes from the word Module is another way of saying unit or component. It suggests something self-contained, and that’s exactly what our modular home units represent.

Prebuilt = Prefabricated. This is not rocket science; it’s just terminology, but it’s the terminology of an important trend in modern accommodation. We take pride in our architectural prefab homes. Ah, there’s another word: Architectural. That crops up here because it indicates the thought, care and expertise that goes into our designs.

Portable Homes: What sizes are possible?

We have over 30 different floor plans ranging from a single 12 sq. m. self-contained cabin to a 100 sq. m. three-bedroom home, so that covers everything from a cost-effective starter home to house you can live in with comfort until you’re ready to take a step up the ladder, to a sizeable unit that you can call your long-term home.

What can a Transportable Home be Used for?

Our customers have chosen our units for any number of uses, from an inexpensive starter home that gets them on the property ladder through granny flats to bring an aging or vulnerable relative into a secure environment to home offices for a fledgling business or extra office space for an existing operation.

Transportable Houses in NZ: What about quality of construction?

Let’s talk about the main material that we use: Timber. Wooden houses have been putting a roof over people’s heads for thousands of year, and with modern methods of construction, timber still makes a lot of sense. We choose local NZ-sourced timber where possible and we minimise and recycle wasted materials.

We use professionals to install floor coverings, electrics, plumbing etc and all our eco-friendly pods are built and signed off by a Licensed Building Practitioner to NZS:3604 with options to upgrade to Sea Spray Zone, Very/Extra High Wind Zone, and Universal Design Standards.

These measures ensure that planning permissions come through with no problem and we can spare our customers the hassle of dealing with the authorities by doing it ourselves. We at Ecopod Concepts know the processes and requirements, so we are well-placed to get the formalities done on your behalf.

What Makes Our Prefab Houses Environmentally Friendly?

From each nail to each floorboard, our prefabricated homes are carefully built. Using our engineering and architectural expertise, we've sourced the most sustainable materials and work to get the homes installed quickly, lowering costs and driving innovation at every turn.
