Thanks for your interest in a YardPod. The total cost of this custom YardPod was about $25,000. It includes insulation in the floor walls and roof, all recycled denim.

Once you attach a YardPod to an existing house, it becomes part of that house and must go through a complete planning and building permit process. If that is what you would like to do, I recommend that you talk to a local builder. YardPods are classified as "Detached Utility Structures" which do not normally need permits if they are 120 sq ft or under and are not used as a dwelling.

I hope that this helps in your decision making. I wish you success with your project.

A15) @Dara Cooke: If you can't afford a quartz or granite worktop from day one then I would recommend using a laminate worktop as a temporary solution. If you don't put tiles up as a backsplash then replacing the worktops can be relatively easy in a couple of years.

Hi all, I currently have an architects plan for a new rear extension. The architect has put it to tender with two builders. The first figure came in at €80,000. This outlined every single cost in a detailed report. Unfortunately it’s way above the budget i specified to the architect (€60,000). The second builder has come back with €60,000. I asked the architect for a price breakdown as before but his response was: “The contractor has agreed to do the revised works as per my tender drawings. He maintains that this is still very tight from his perspective. The figure therefore is a lump sum to cover all works.” My concern is that a) The job will go over budget b) the job won’t be completed to good quality. My question is how can I be guaranteed any of the above? I asked for a reference but I feel like the architect might just want this project closed and finished as we started discussions about this last year. Any advice or opinion is much appreciated.

How much would standard foundations cost for a 40sq meter extension? If it was uncomplicated and pretty strait forward. Modular company would do every thing else associated with the build. Trying to figure if it's worth the cost Thanks

can you use this structure as a dwelling?

Thanks for your question.

We can design YardPods as dwellings, normally larger than 120 sq ft, but they need to go through a full planning and building permit process, unless the location has special rules permitting "Second Units" on lots, such as Santa Cruz and Seattle.

The advantage of using the YardPod process is that we can prefabricate the walls, floor and roof in panels in the factory, making transportation lower cost than modular housing, and provide faster assembly than traditional construction.

I hope that this answers your question.
