reviews — how our customers experienced Skilpod

Having a new house built, you also like to have the right construction partner under your belt. This search is not always easy. Especially if you are also looking into prefab and modular construction. (Tip: be sure to check out our article on the pros and cons of modular construction).

To make your search a little easier we like to share reviews from our customers and explain our own experience as well.

more than 10 years of experience in modular building

Founded in 2012, Skilpod can look back on a decade of experience. We have a nice archive of past projects that we can look back on with pride. For those who have an understanding of finance: our annual accounts can be found at the balance sheet center.

In all those years we have been scrutinized several times, from different angles: by journalists, for reports of all kinds, by the construction sector itself, for our Thor Award and by the JCI organization, for the JCI Award that our founder Filip Timmermans won. You don't just get those awards for a bit of tinkering, you have to be able to demonstrate tangible results.

We are also proud recipients of the support of our investors Van Roey, Futech, Welvaartsfonds and the Innovation Agency of the Flemish government. Thanks to them, we are even more confident and we consider their support an additional quality label.

an enthusiastic and fun community

But if we are completely honest, there is only one thing that counts: satisfied customers. For us, the ultimate proof that we are doing a good job is what we see every day in our mailbox: people who come knocking on our door after friends, family or colleagues have already bought a Skilpod and recommended us.

So we are very happy to have such a positive community behind us and hope to welcome many more people to that community.

Herman & Aniet fell in love with Skilpod

After two total renovations, Herman and Aniet were thinking about their future and the house that would fit with it. That's how they ended up at Skilpod. And then it all went fast. Really fast.

relaxing in the South, a second home for Karin & Vincent

Sometimes it can be interesting to see yourself through someone else's eyes. As it turns out, for Karin and her partner Vincent, who live and work in a Dutch coastal town during the week, a small Belgian village is a delightfully exotic destination. Far away from the sea winds and cold, cozy among the fruit trees. For them, Skilpod was a convenient partner to quickly and easily build a second home in "the South."

why Sigrid and Erik loved building with Skilpod

After ample previous experience with construction and renovation, Sigrid and Erik were looking for a new home, without all the hassle. After a visit to our workshop, they were convinced. 9 months after signing the contract, they could already start unpacking their boxes, in their new nest next to Sigrid's parent's home. The absence of selection stress, the speed of construction and the great after-sales service team were their favorite benefits of Skilpod.

the benefits of Skilpod according to Lucie

  1. The reliable people: "I always got the same person on the line, who knows who you are and how the works were going. I was always well-informed."
  2. How cool the whole team is. It was great to come here every day and have a coffee together.
  3. How little stress the whole process gave her.

how Kenny experienced Skilpod

"I hesitated very briefly," Kenny says. Because of a personal setback, she put the project on hold for a while, but that was short-lived. "I had some people around me who could support me technically, because I thought that was going to be my pitfall, but I never had to call on them. If there was anything, I could always turn to Skilpod. Even for me as a woman with no construction knowledge, everything was clear." Before the installation, she wondered if there was anything she needed to pay attention to, anything else she needed to do, but again, everything turned out to be taken care of. "Even the workmen who did the placement were able to answer my questions."

why Patricia and Gert love Skilpod

  1. The after-sales service. They were always helped quickly and clicked with the people who came over
  2. The design, especially the red stone strips. Patricia doesn't understand why people choose anything else.
  3. Green building and living. That was an absolute requirement for Gert to buy and it was certainly met.

Louise's experience in her Skilpod #140

"We first came into contact with Skilpod around March 2021, and we were able to move in August of the same year! We were always pleasantly received by Toon-Bert who was always ready with the necessary advice. After we had discussed everything well, we only had to wait for the moment of delivery. Well, if you can call 3 months 'waiting'... We have been living in our Skilpod #140 for more than half a year now and still enjoy all that light, that sleek design and how maintenance-friendly the house is every day. We would recommend this way of building to anyone! Thanks, Skipod!"

A year ago we ordered a home from skilpod, #100. Despite the pandemic, the house was built, delivered, installed and finished in less than a year. No more waiting for months for electricians, plumbers, plasterers and painters, a very handy turn-key concept. All this for a clearly agreed price, without additional costs afterwards.

Due to the challenging building plot, on a slope, there was a need for a garage / foundation that was built into the hill. Here too Skilpod gave very clear advice and took everything out of our hands. The result is a garage / storage room of 98 m² with a beautiful new-build house of 98 m² on top.

An absolute must for those who want to build carefree.

We have one of the first Skilpods and have been living in it for a few years now. We are still very satisfied. We used to live in a stone house and can only confirm that this feels more pleasant. Our house is very energy efficient, a lot of light comes in and everything is neatly finished. You can see that good materials have been chosen. The wood on the outside has greyed beautifully, just as we expected. We love living in our Skilpod!

We were the first individuals in the Netherlands to purchase a Skilpod home. The cooperation with Skilpod was extremely pleasant. From the first visit in the factory to the installation of the house in June 2023. We had a place to go to with all our questions and were given excellent service. We don't have any remarks on the house, everything is there and nicely finished. The design is sleek, modern and above all energy efficient. Everything was taken care of and we hardly had to arrange anything ourselves. The house meets all the requirements according to the Dutch building code. Now we just have to furnish it, plant our garden and then we can enjoy it. We'll enjoy living here for many years to come. We thank Skilpod for the beautiful cooperation.

Very satisfied residents,

Our (first) experience of living in a Skilpod is very positive. We are also very happy with the combination we have chosen (black window frames with black stone strips). The window frames are elegant and the black stone strips are only black in the dark; during the day they show shades from mid-gray to almost black. Very beautiful! 

We (as lovers of real wood or laminate parquet) had some doubts about laminate flooring, but we were really pleased with it. That you deliver the interior veeeeeery white is only logical; we have already added color to a number of walls and wallpapered one wall in the master bed room (Van Gogh's almond blossom). 

People who visit are also very positive, not only the 'laymen' but also the professionals. The electrician, for example, is quite impressed with the installation.

We have been living in our skilpod for several months and have to say that it is very pleasant to live here! We have chosen skilpod because of the design, ecological aspect, 1 point of contact, fixed price and also the speed. Our entire process from submitting the planning application to moving in took only 6 months. Even if we have questions, they respond very quickly. The only drawback is that you can make very few adjustments to the homes, but that is of course the concept. In short, very satisfied customers!

We have been living in our Skilpod house for a year now and are extremely satisfied with the quality. The house is very energy efficient, partly due to the solar panels that we installed. Skilpod's after-sales service is excellent. Highly recommended for those who want to place an affordable, energy-efficient modest home with a beautiful modern design.
