Office Pod Costs - What You Need to Know

Office pods are an excellent way to create a private, quiet workspace without the hassle of a full scale office renovation. But how much do they actually cost? The price of an office pod varies depending on size, features, materials, and customisation.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the key factors that influence pricing so you can make the right decision for your budget.

1. Size of the Office Pod

The size of an office pod plays a big role in determining cost. A compact, single-person pod will naturally be more affordable than a large, multi-person meeting pod. But why does size affect the price so much?

Larger pods require more materials, additional soundproofing, and often extra features like ventilation and lighting. If you need a pod with more internal space for multiple desks or storage, this will also add to the cost.

Smaller pods tend to be budget-friendly, making them ideal for individuals who need a quiet workspace. On the other hand, if you're looking to accommodate teams or hold meetings, the investment will be higher due to the additional space and functionality required.


2. Functionality & Intended Use

What do you need your office pod for? Your intended use will dictate the level of design and features required, which in turn affects pricing.

A basic office pod that serves as a quiet workspace will be at the lower end of the cost spectrum. These often include minimal soundproofing and simple ventilation. However, if you're looking for a pod that supports video conferencing, collaborative meetings, or confidential discussions, the price will increase due to higher-quality insulation, built-in technology, and enhanced lighting.

For those needing an outdoor office pod, expect additional costs due to weatherproofing materials and extra insulation to maintain a comfortable temperature year round.


3. Bespoke Design & Customisation

Standard office pods are the most cost-effective, but if you want something custom-built to match your specific brand or environment, expect to pay more.

Customisation can include anything from unique dimensions to personalised branding, interior layouts, and specialised materials. If your office pod needs to fit within a particular space, be a specific colour, or include integrated storage solutions, the extra design and manufacturing work will increase the price.

A bespoke pod can offer the perfect workspace solution, but it's important to balance your needs with your budget.


4. Quality of Materials

The materials used in your office pod will impact its cost, durability, and overall user experience.

Basic models tend to use cost-effective materials like standard wood panels and basic glass, which can keep prices lower but may not offer the best insulation or longevity.

Premium office pods incorporate high-quality materials such as reinforced steel frames, acoustic-grade glass, and high-density insulation, improving soundproofing, durability, and energy efficiency.

At Dapapod, we take pride in using high quality materials in all our pods. Speak to a member of our team to learn why our pods, are built to last! 

We are also committed to eco-conscious design. Every pod is made from FSC-certified timber and recycled fabrics, ensuring minimal environmental impact


5. Type of Office Pod

Choosing the right type of office pod depends on what your need for the pod is. Whether you need a quiet space for solo work or a collaborative meeting room, each option comes with its own pricing factors.

Different types of office pods come with different price points. Here’s a quick breakdown:

  • Single-Person Pods – The most affordable option, ideal for individual work.
  • Meeting Pods – Larger, designed for team collaboration, often including AV technology.
  • Modular Pods – Flexible and expandable, offering long-term adaptability but higher initial costs.

The type of pod you choose depends on how you plan to use it and the level of investment you're comfortable with.


6. Custom Features & Add-Ons

The base price of an office pod covers standard functionality, but adding extra features will increase costs. Consider what’s essential for your needs versus what’s a nice-to-have.

  • Soundproofing – Essential for noise-sensitive environments, improving focus and privacy. This is built in with most pods. 
  • Built-in lighting  – Custom lighting, RGB lights to match your branding can increase costs. 
  • Custom furniture & storage solutions – Ideal for productivity but can require a larger pod. 
  • Charging points

7. Installation & Delivery Costs

Beyond the pod itself, installation and delivery can affect your overall budget.

If you’re purchasing a larger pod, consider whether your site has easy access for delivery, as restricted access or additional groundwork may increase installation costs. Some providers include installation as part of the package, while others charge separately, so always check before making a purchase.

At Dapapod, we provide both complete installation and delivery of your pod.
