    Fantastic article elZ. This would also do away with dodgy builders and leaky homes etc, there would be a continuity of quality, design ,and build, awesome


    "Prefabricated factory-built houses and apartments could deliver 7000 homes a year, KiwiBuild minister Phil Twyford has been told.

    A report by PrefabNZ indicates its member companies could deliver around 7000 homes each year from 2020, but the number could be even higher.
    "This would deliver 70 per cent of Kiwibuild's target of 10,000 homes per year over 10 years," said PrefabNZ chief executive Pamela Bell.

    But there is a buzz in the prefab industry that New Zealand could also see some big overseas companies move in to capitalise from KiwiBuild. Fleetwood Homes, Australia's biggest homes prefabricator last month filed a certificate of incorporation with the Companies Office to create Fleetwood Limited.
    The disruptors were three large companies that could produce around 6500 of the 7000 homes the prefab industry could deliver for KiwiBuild."

    and thinking outside the box
    "At the conference, PrefabNZ is also launching a competition seeking a design for a tiny one or two bedroom house that can be pre-consented so existing homeowners with big enough back gardens can have one installed. As many as 180,000 of them could be built, PrefabNZ estimated. The home will be called "The Snug"."

    Old Labour trick to bring the unemployment numbers down: hire unemployed clowns and similar as senior policy advisers! Must have been hundreds hired by the last (HC) Labour Government ...

    Holy sh*t - but now they hire the "principals" en mass: http://erec.thejohnsongroup.co.nz/Jo...xoCAhsQAvD_BwE

    Must be Jacinda's mark - Senior not good enough anymore, though there are still some vacancies for them as well (maybe to support the unemployed youth?); Seriously - how many Principals (Latin - the First in order" can you have?

    As well - wouldn't it be the job of our politicians to be the "thought-leaders"? What are we paying them for?

    Quite funny to see history repeating itself. Only problem is - somebody will need to feed them all, and they won't be cheap

    The other trick that worked very well back in the early 2000's, was to spray cash at the tertiary education sector. Public and private institutions did very well in the first decade.

    I think Heidi will blow HC into oblivion with such favourite socialist 'employment' schemes.

    "He's a knight of the realm, chairman of New Zealand's biggest bank and one of the country's most successful politicians, and now Sir John Key has laid claim to being a "performing artist".
    Key seems to be broadening his post-politics horizons on a weekly basis, and most recently has set up a new company Thirty Eight JK to manage his public speaking engagements.
    The company describes itself as a "performing artist operation" on the Companies Office. " Anything for money? Not sure he has a real job?

    Helen Clark was achieving something of worth at the UN after leaving politics.
