A: The base model of Apple Pod comes with a 2.2m x 6m footprint, with 13.2 ㎡ of usable interior space, and can be extended to 120 ㎡ by connecting 4 separate units for larger family or commercial use scenarios.
3 Steps to Complete Apple Pod On-site Installation
Actual test shows that a standard Apple Pod can be fully put into use within 72 hours after arriving at the project site, with the following 3 simplified steps:
- Use a small crane to place the pre-finished Apple Pod unit on the pre-made reinforced concrete foundation or adjustable steel support base, and level the 4 supporting points with laser measuring tool
- Connect the reserved public water supply, sewage pipe and power grid interface of the unit to local utility systems, with all internal pipeline connections pre-tested in factory to avoid leakage risks
- Carry out 2-hour full function inspection of interior lighting, HVAC system, door and window opening test, then clean the interior space to finish the whole installation process
From case studies of our 2025 coastal resort deployment project, a team of 3 workers can finish 12 units of Apple Pod installation within 5 working days, which is 90% faster than building the same number of hotel rooms on site.
