is a company that works on the development, financing and structuring of impact-driven and sustainable architecture.
Not only are these prefabricated structures low impact, Jilly points out that one of the biggest advantages is that they have a fixed price. “Construction costs in Ireland are so difficult to predict, there‘s no financial security when you take out a mortgage and discover the costs have risen by 50% by the end of your build. The Koda is a product like a car – it has a fixed price and that allows you to budget with certainty.
They are useful not only to those looking for an alternative solution to housing. “I see boutique wedding venues giving money away every week to larger hotels in the area when their guests have nowhere to stay on site,” Jilly says, “but the Kodas are an amazing opportunity to expand their accommodation and typically your investment cost has paid off within 5 years. This is a huge difference to a typical build.
