Question 1

What does installation actually include?

Accepted Answer

Our comprehensive installation service ensures your Living Pod is perfectly placed and fully connected. This includes expert positioning on your site, utility hook-ups (where applicable), and final connections - so your Pod is genuinely ready to use, not just delivered and left on-site.

Question 2

Do you help with consent and planning requirements?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Early in the process, we prepare and submit a Project Information Memorandum (PIM) application to your local council to confirm exactly what your District Plan allows for your specific site - for example, in some tourist-designated zones, council rules can dictate how many guest accommodation units are permitted per given land area, or whether Resource Consent is required in addition to Building Consent. From there, we manage the full Building Consent process on your behalf, liaising directly with council so you have complete clarity before committing to your project.

Question 3

How long does the whole process take, from enquiry to move-in?

Accepted Answer

Timelines vary depending on your site, council processing times, and consenting requirements 0 but our Steps to Ownership Guide walks through every stage, from your first site visit through to final handover, so you know exactly what to expect along the way.

Question 4

What do I need to prepare on my site before delivery?

Accepted Answer

We'll confirm exact requirements during your site assessment, but generally this includes ensuring clear access for transport and delivery, and any foundation or service connection work being completed in readiness. Our team manages this process closely with you so nothing is left to guesswork.

Question 5

What happens if Resource Consent is required for my site?

Accepted Answer

If your District Plan requires Resource Consent in addition to Building Consent, we'll identify this early through the PIM process and guide you through what's needed. While this can add time to the overall process, we help manage the documentation and liaison with council so you're never navigating it alone.

Question 6

Who manages the geotechnical report and site-specific engineering?

Accepted Answer

We coordinate the geotechnical investigation and ensure your Living Pod's engineering and foundation design are tailored specifically to your site conditions - an essential step before Building Consent can be finalised.
