MMC Homebuilding Limited Singular Living Pod V 2.0
Volumetric MMC (Modern Method of Construction), sometimes referred to as Modular Construction units produced within the factory, they will be fully fitted out before they are transported to site, where they will be placed upon the necessary foundations to ensure stability and safety.
Singular living pods are constructed from a combination of light gauge steel, cement board and a couple of different types of high-performance insulators as well as MMC Homebuilding’s own polymer concrete (GRC: Glass Reinforced Concrete). Constructed off-site and delivered via Arctic lorry, no escort required.
The living pod is a single storey entity only but has the structural capabilities to be able to be lifted and relocated.
The pods are aimed to be used under ‘Meanwhile’ Planning Legislation so, with that, it has created a broad scope of users including ex-convicts, homeless people, police academy students, NHS nurses and people working for MOD. The current singular living pod design allows for a maximum of 2 people, with the bedroom being able to fit a double bed.
