We cannot speak highly enough of both Emma and Max from ModPod.
From our initial enquiry right through to our home being transported onto our land, they have always been available and easy to deal with.
They listened to our vision and what we wanted in our home. There was absolutely nothing that was too hard for them to do!
They have brought our dream to life with a beautiful quality home; we can’t thank them enough.
You will never regret building with Max and Emma at ModPod!
