We are especially seeing this amongst Maori indigenous peoples. We see our ecopods as a potential solution to that because we’re building high-quality, long life, well insulated, affordable dwellings with an ecological and sustainable overlay. So that’s something we plan on being a big part of moving forward.” Ecopod are proud to provide discerning customers across New Zealand with affordable, customisable, sustainable, and high-quality transportable building solutions to suit a variety of purposes and requirements.
