The xPod Blueprint

Everything you need to know about building with xPod — all in one place. Whether you’re just getting started or looking for detailed specs, this guide covers the essentials: from structure and customization to services, sustainability, and pricing. Clear answers. 100% designed to help you build smarter.

Structure & Construction

All xPod Structures are predominantly manufactured from Concrete, Steel & Traditional materials such as Timber; etc. All materials utilized have varying durability attrubutes but for all intents and purposes have the same durability coefficient as a traditional ‘Brick & Mortar’ Structure.

The Main Structure predominantly comprises of Steel & Insulated Concrete Panels, depending on the requirements & Design detailing, the balance of Materials may be comprised of Aluminium, Timber, Dry Partitioning, Tile; etc……essentially the same as utilized in a traditional / Rational Structure.

All structures are available in two Options, a suspended Floor or concrete Raft Foundation

4 Storeys utilizing our engineered System, however we are able to ‘Plug’ our methodology into traditional Structures creating a hybrid of sorts, should it be required.

No……Unlike a Shipping Container, xPod was designed as a Habitable Space, therefore requires no retro-fitment or amendments to turn it into one.

Yes, The Main Structure has been design & is signed off by an accredited Structural Engineer, our Concrete Wall Panels carry a South African Agrèment Certification, which is an accredited Testing body that has carried out stringent Structural; Fire; Thermal & Acoustic Testing. All additional Materials used have their own respective attributes & are used accordingly.

No, due to the design & Construction Methodology we are able to address different terrains easier than traditional building methods.

Customization & Design

Yes, all our structures are fully customizable within certain parameters of the engineered Design. Having said this, there isn’t much that is unachievable.

Yes, although our standard offering is a Metal Roof Sheeting / Chromadek , we are able to accommodate other roofing matrials such as: Aluminium and Steel Façade solutions.

Most Lightweight Roofing Materials can be used

Most Types of Surface Mounted Cladding can be fixed to the Structure

Yes. It’s preferable to integrate as much as possible in the design Stages

We are able to accommodate bespoke design however there is a charge for generating & Manufacturing a custom / Bespoke Design

We are able to adapt your design intent to suit the xPod technology within reason, for an additional fee.

Outside Architectural Practises are more than welcome to specify xPod however due to the Design, Manufacture & Installation process it is preferable for xPod to be the custodians of the entire process.

Performance & Sustainability

Our structures are fully insulated, the Concrete Panels have a South African Agrèment Certification and have the same ‘R’ Values to that of a Double Skin Brick Wall. The insulation in the Roof can be adapted to suit the requirements of the occupant & Environment. All Structures are available with Single & Double Glazing. The Floor can also be easily insulated if required.
Yes, both single & double Glazing with either Aluminium or UPVC Frames
Yes, all our structures have been designed with both on Grid & Off Grid Electrical and Water Solutions in mind.

Systems & Services

 We are able to supply our structures as a basic shell without any plumbing and electrical or tailor the electrical & plumbing to suit our customers requirements.

Expandability

Due to the engineering of our structures it is challenging to extend or manipulate them however we are able to look at ones requirements & present available solutions
Although it isn’t advisable, We can look at one’s existing structure and advise.

Mobility & Placement

 The short answer is Yes. Due to the construction methodology, there may be some slight residual damage to some of the components during the dismantling process, however, it can be easily repaired. It’s notable that although our structures have the many attributes of a ‘Temporary’ structure they perform like permanent ones.

Pricing & Value

1. Drastically reduced Construction Time Period
2. Consistency of Build Quality
3. Saving in Material Costs due to reduced Waste & economy of Scale
4. No Professional Fees
5. Drastic Reduction of Project Management Time
6. Integrated Green Technology
7. Reduced Carbon Footprint

In the instance of using our standard systems the following is included:

1. Architectural / Design Fees of Structure
2. Engineering Fees
3. Installation

Process & Usage

After contact has been made the following step process is followed:

1. A Brief is formulates by the Client
2. Once a design direction has been agreed upon a basic Plan is submitted for approval
3. Design Detailing
4. Submission of Quotation
5. Approval Of Quotation
6. Manufacture of Components
7. Installation
