Every pod follows the same four stages — all in-house, all in Melbourne. Here's exactly what happens between your first email and the day your pod goes in.
We start with your space and requirements — usually one conversation.
→ 02Structural fabrication and acoustic panel installation at our workshop.
→ 03Interior lining, glazing, electrics, hardware — fully finished before it leaves.
→ 04Our team delivers, positions, and commissions your pod on-site.
Every pod starts with a conversation. For Classic Series orders this is usually a single call or a visit to our showroom. We ask about your floor plan, where the pod will sit, what it's being used for — calls, meetings, focus work — and whether you have any acoustic, electrical, or finish requirements beyond the standard spec.
For custom builds, we'll send you a brief template to fill out before we meet. This covers dimensions, capacity, cladding preferences, internal configuration, and any compliance requirements specific to your building or tenancy agreement.
The pod frame is fabricated from mild steel RHS sections at our inner-west workshop. All cutting, welding, and grinding is done in-house — we don't use an external fabricator. Once the frame passes our dimensional check it moves to acoustic fit-out.
Acoustic insulation panels (rockwool slab, min. 75mm) are friction-fitted into the stud cavities, followed by a mass-loaded vinyl layer and internal plasterboard lining. The assembly is tested at this stage — we use a Class 1 sound level meter before any exterior cladding goes on.
Once the acoustic build passes its pre-lining test, the pod moves to fit-out. External cladding in your chosen colour goes on first — ribbed powder-coated panels are applied panel by panel and checked for alignment. The sliding glass door is hung, glazed, and adjusted before the frosted E-icon film is applied.
Inside, 18mm OSB boards are fixed and finished with two coats of clear hardwax oil. The LED ceiling bar is wired to the switchboard stub, GPOs are installed and circuit-tested. Amber hardware — door handles, towel hooks, and power cover plates — is fitted last.
The pod is cleaned, photographed, and signed off by our workshop manager before it moves to dispatch. We don't rush this stage. A pod with a misaligned door or a patch of cladding that hasn't been checked doesn't leave our floor.
We don't use freight companies. Every pod is delivered by our own install team in a custom-fitted vehicle. Before delivery we'll confirm the site access route — door widths, lift dimensions, loading dock availability — so there are no surprises on the day.
Installation typically takes half a day for a single pod and a full day for three or more. We position the pod, level it, connect to the nearest power point, test all electrics, and do a final acoustic check in-situ. We don't leave until everything is working.
Weekend installs are available at no extra charge — many clients prefer this to avoid disruption to office hours.
Classic Series pods ship in 6–8 weeks from confirmed order. Custom builds are 8–12 weeks depending on specification complexity.
Week 1 — brief finalised, order confirmed, materials ordered
Weeks 2–4 — steel fabrication, acoustic panels, pre-lining STC test
Weeks 4–6 — cladding, glazing, electrics, hardware, final sign-off
Weeks 6–8 — site delivery, positioning, power connection, commissioning
The following is included with every Classic Series pod. Nothing is an optional extra that should be standard.
The first step is a conversation. Tell us your floor space, your use case, and your timeline — we'll take it from there. No commitment required at the brief stage.
