The questions we actually get asked.
Fifteen straight answers, plus where to go for the detail behind each one.
The most common questions about acoustic office pods in Australia: they cost $7,595 to $14,995 ex GST delivered, need no council approval and no electrician, are rated Class A to ISO 23351-1 at up to 30 dB, ship next business day from Australian stock, assemble in two to four hours, and carry a 10-year structural warranty.
Everything, answered
How much does an office pod cost in Australia?
Between $7,595 and $14,995 ex GST for the pod itself depending on size, with free delivery Australia-wide. Professional installation is optional from $995 to $1,795 ex GST, and furniture packages start at $449 ex GST.
Do office pods need council approval?
Requirements depend on the site and proposed installation. Confirm the pod position with your building manager or landlord, and ask the relevant council or building certifier whether approvals are needed before ordering. Include floor loading, access, fire services and ventilation in the site review.
Do I need an electrician?
No. Every model runs from a single standard 240V 10A outlet and draws between 40 and 120 W. No dedicated circuit, no hard-wiring, no electrical trade. Wiring inside the pod is to AS/NZS 3000 with its own circuit breaker.
How soundproof are they really?
No booth is completely soundproof. Every FocusPod is rated Class A under ISO 23351-1 at up to 30 dB speech level reduction, which means a normal speaking voice inside is not intelligible outside. You may hear that someone is talking; you will not hear what they are saying.
How long does delivery take?
In-stock white exterior with grey interior dispatches the next business day with free delivery Australia-wide. Custom colour combinations are built to order and typically ready in four to six weeks.
How long does assembly take?
Two people assemble a one-person pod in two to four hours with basic tools. Professional installation by our team is usually finished in a single morning.
Will it fit in my building's lift?
Usually, because pods ship flat-packed. Packed pallets are 1270 mm tall and between 2310 and 2650 mm long — that length is what fails a lift, not the assembled height. Send us your lift dimensions and we will confirm before you order.
Will my floor take the weight?
Net assembled weights range from 290 kg for Solo to 852 kg for Max. Packed weights include packaging and are listed separately. Ask your building manager or structural engineer to assess the pod, furniture and occupant loads and support locations against site-specific floor capacity.
Can pods be moved to a new office?
Yes. Pods disassemble and reassemble, which is why they sit on the balance sheet as a relocatable asset rather than a leasehold improvement you leave behind.
What warranty comes with a FocusPod?
Ten years structural and three years electrical from delivery, with spare parts stocked in our Gold Coast warehouse rather than shipped from overseas.
Can I return a pod?
Standard stock pods can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Custom colour combinations are built to order and are not returnable. Contact us first so we can arrange collection.
Do you deliver outside the capital cities?
Yes. Delivery is free to any Australian address from our Gold Coast warehouse. Our own installation team covers the capitals; elsewhere we arrange installation or you can assemble it yourself.
Can I see one before buying?
Yes. We have showrooms at Molendinar on the Gold Coast and Newport in Melbourne, by appointment. Shut the door, have someone talk outside, and sit in it for ten minutes with the fans running.
Can pods be branded or custom coloured?
Yes. Seven exterior and thirteen interior finishes, plus vinyl wrapping for branding. Custom combinations are built to order in about four to six weeks.
Are office pods tax deductible?
Generally treated as a depreciable business asset rather than a leasehold improvement, because they are freestanding and relocatable. Depreciation treatment and instant asset write-off eligibility depend on your circumstances — confirm with your accountant.
