Tell me more about the Omnipod build process
Omnipods are made in the UK, and can be made in modules or a single complete unit depending on delivery access and installation requirements. Our custom pods and cabins are made by hand to your specifications, and the process currently takes between 6 and 8 weeks, depending on the project.
We require at the least, a solid, compacted, level piece of ground and ideally, but not necessarily, a concrete pad onto which we can install the Omnipod. Our pods arrive completely finished, “turn-key” and can be lived in immediately after the services have been connected.
Are Omnipods fully accessible?
We have dedicated ourselves to creating accessible living spaces to meet the needs of all people who wish to use them. The spacious floorplan is tastefully designed, with wheelchairs and limited mobility in mind, using materials of uncompromising quality and the highest slip resistant rated floor surfaces available. There are 1.5 metre turning circles in all the right places, a custom-designed kitchen, wide doors, thoughtfully positioned electrical sockets and USB ports for all accessible needs and our wet rooms come complete with cutting edge accessible fixtures.
How many people can sleep in an Omnipod?
The Omnipod Piccolo has space for two adults and two children on a sofa bed, the Omnipod Medio has space for two adults, two children on a bunk bed and additional space on a sofa bed and the Omnipod Largo can sleep four people in two separate bedrooms plus additional space on a sofa bed.

Does an Omnipod get hot in summer months?
Our Omnipods are constructed around a very strong timber structural frame and have 120mm of insulation, meaning that they are very effective at keeping the pod cooler in the summer months and warmer during the colder months. In summer, the doors and windows can be left open to keep the pods well ventilated and cool. Our 2 metre covered decking area will also help you keep out of the sun and keep the pod at an ambient temperature.
How do you supply utilities to an Omnipod?
Where possible we connect to the mains supply following permission for electricity, water and drainage. We can also connect to private water supplies and septic tanks. For larger units, we recommend LPG bottles to cope with the increased hot water demand.
