We looked at a lot of prefab options, but Movapod stood out for design quality, customisation and service. Nicola and the team delivered exactly what we wanted, on time and to a very high standard. We’re really pleased with our 2 bedroom investment property that was transported to Blenheim – we’d recommend them to anyone.

Frequently asked questions
Yes! Movapod is one of the only companies in the industry that provides a CCC for your new unit.
A Code Compliance Certificate is issued by the Council upon the completion of building work, indicating that the work carried out under a building consent complies with that consent. This certificate is specific to the unit from the Movapod factory and is separate from any on-site activities like foundations and drainage.
If a company cannot provide a CCC, it suggests that they are unable to construct your home to the standards set by the NZ Building Code.
All Movapod’s with a kitchen/bathroom come with a building consent specific to the unit from the Movapod factory. This consent is separate from any on-site activities like foundations and drainage.
You should consult your local council for requirements. If needed, Movapod can manage the consent process on your behalf, regardless of your location in New Zealand. If you’re unsure about whether you require a consent, feel free to contact us, and we’ll be happy to help.

You need to prepare your site for the Movapod. Check with your local council for drainage and foundation requirements. If you’re uncertain about site preparation, don’t hesitate to contact us, and we’ll be glad to assist.
Movapod’s are delivered on skids, suitable for positioning on a flat surface. Depending on local council requirements, you may need a wooden pile foundation (a cost-effective option) or screw piles, which are reusable if you plan to relocate your Movapod in the future.
After signing the contract and paying the deposit, building a Movapod can take 8-10 weeks. Once the build is fully completed, your Movapod unit will undergo a Final Inspection by the council. Afterward, we’ll deliver your Movapod to you, and you can expect to receive the Code of Compliance Certificate (CCC) around 4-6 weeks after delivery, due to council processing times.
Movapod’s are constructed using the same timber framing structure as a standard home. You can trust in the quality, warmth, and durability of a Movapod.
Yes! Movapod’s adhere to NZ Building Code standards and feature fully insulated walls, ceilings, and underfloor, along with double glazed windows and doors.

A 50% deposit is required upon signing the contract. This deposit secures your order in the production schedule and allows us to purchase materials. The second 25% payment is due upon completion of construction, and the final 25% is due before delivery. Your deposit is legally binding and non-refundable once paid.
Transport cost is not included in the unit price. Delivery cost depends on unit size, location, and any on-site challenges.
