New Zealand has launched the KiwiBuild programme to improve the productivity of its building and construction capacity through offsite manufacturing<\/h2>\n

The government is taking action to ensure that the construction industry is ready and able to deliver greater quantities of warm, dry, affordable homes<\/a> by promoting the use of offsite construction, says housing minister Megan Woods.<\/p>\n

Woods said: \u201cUnder this government, we\u2019re building the most homes since the 1970s, with a record $13bn [~\u00a36.57bn] of residential construction in the last year, but we need to do even more to tackle the housing shortage. We need to find new ways to get houses built more quickly and offsite manufacturing is one of the ways we will do this.<\/p>\n

\u201cOffsite manufacturing has the potential to transform the building sector, and drive innovative ways to build homes<\/a> at lower cost, and in faster timeframes. It can significantly change the way we build homes because builders won\u2019t have to contend with external elements like the weather.<\/p>\n

\u201cHousing New Zealand has found that using OSM new builds can be delivered in half the time as conventional building techniques.\u201d<\/p>\n

The government has been working with offsite manufacturing companies to identify opportunities to work with KiwiBuild to innovate, scale-up, and to make quality housing more affordable.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe scale of the KiwiBuild programme, especially when aligned with the other arms of the Government\u2019s build programme creates a fantastic opportunity to supercharge the use of offsite manufacturing in New Zealand.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe demand these programmes create has the potential for the construction and development industry to make confident investments in their people and new technology. It could play an important role in smoothing out the \u2018boom-bust\u2019 cycle that has plagued the sector in the past, and help prevent another housing shortage emerging in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, I expect K\u0101inga Ora to optimise its operating practices to ensure the entity\u2019s base demand facilitates the adoption of OSM and other future innovations \u2013 where they produce more affordable and better housing supply for New Zealanders, and align with wider Government goals \u2013 such as CarbonZero, skills development, energy efficiency, and regional economic development,\u201d added Woods.<\/p>\n
