- NURSING HOME POD
We have designed this range of standalone buildings, to provide much needed visiting space for residents and their loved ones, where they can meet in safety, with a physical barrier, in the form of a glass screen, to protect them from the current Coronavirus. These buildings free up valuable space indoors and will not normally require planning permission. They are installed on a ground screw base, rather than a concrete slab, which means that should your requirements change, they can be repositioned easily.
