LANDSCAPING & EXTERNAL WORKS

TAGGART HOMES BEGINS CONSTRUCTION ON INNOVATIVE NEW OUTDOOR MULTIFUNCTIONAL WORK PODS

Taggart Homes has commenced works on the first phase of 100 high spec outdoor work pods suitable for home working and a range of small businesses including beauty salons and gyms .
The pods will come in a variety of sizes and designs and will be available to the public in the UK and Ireland , as well as buyers of Taggart Homes properties this week , at a starting price of £ 10,000 + vat .
The first phase of garden pods by Taggart Homes will be available to purchase from this week , and existing Taggart homebuyers will be offered the opportunity to have a pod installed on their property .
With the rising trend in home working due to the COVID-19 pandemic and many business closures causing economic uncertainty , the pods will offer customers an outdoor office option , and a dedicated outdoor space , from which many sole traders and small business owners such as personal trainers and beauty therapists can run their own businesses away from the rest of the house , with room for supplies and equipment . There is also scope to be creative with the pods for personal use – as a personal gym , bar , or a place to rest and relax , or to indulge in a hobby .
Selling agent Pygott and Crone has been appointed as the UK agent to launch the garden rooms .
Michael Taggart , CEO of Taggart Homes , said : “ As living and working habits continue to shift for many given the present circumstances , there is a growing movement to home working and as people look to optimise their living environment , and they are looking to upgrade properties .
