ZED PODS Ltd, a leading modular housebuilding company specialising in high-specification zero-operational-carbon homes, has been awarded the prestigious ICW Endorsed accreditation. This recognition marks a significant milestone in ZED PODS’ continued growth across the UK.
The ICW Endorsed accreditation follows a rigorous technical assessment of ZED PODS’ built system, ensuring it meets ICW’s stringent technical requirements.
ICW Endorsed is a bespoke accreditation scheme for Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) offsite systems for use in conjunction with ICW structural warranties, and is used exclusively for systems that meet the requirements of ICW for structural warranty purposes.
As one of the UK’s largest structural insurance warranty providers, ICW serves all major mortgage lenders. This endorsement means that ZED PODS’ modular builds are now approved, subject to satisfactory site audits, for use in conjunction with ICW’s structural warranties.
ZED PODS has a strong track record of delivering sustainable, high-quality modular housing solutions on urban land parcels and brownfield sites. The company has previously collaborated with ICW to provide structural warranties for several housing projects, including the innovative Fortis House social housing scheme in Kent. This development, delivered in partnership with Ashford Borough Council, provides low-carbon move on accommodation provision for households seeking permanent housing solutions. The 23 apartments have been built on a 2.4m high steel podium on an underutilised car park located in Flood Zone 3A.
“We are delighted to receive ICW Endorsed accreditation, which further validates our commitment to delivering high-quality, sustainable modular homes,” said Thomas Northway, Chairman, at ZED PODS. “This endorsement strengthens our position in the market and ensures that our homes continue to meet the highest standards of quality and compliance.”
Andrew Spratt, Managing Director of ICW Insurance Services, adds “ICW is proud to support innovative companies like ZED PODS that are leading the way in high quality sustainable construction. Their successful track record, including the Fortis House project, demonstrates their ability to deliver exceptional modular housing that meet our stringent technical requirements for structural warranties, and we look forward to supporting their continued growth."
The ICW Endorsed accreditation enhances confidence in ZED PODS’ modular housing solutions, reinforcing their commitment to delivering sustainable and innovative housing across the UK.
