About KiwiBuild

KiwiBuild aims to complement, rather than compete with, the private residential housing sector. The Government partners with private developers, local councils, infrastructure providers and Māori and mana whenua to deliver KiwiBuild homes.

Through KiwiBuild developers:

  • can speed up residential property development and get more houses on the market
  • change the type of houses being delivered to include more modest, and often higher density, homes at more affordable price points
  • provide first home buyers and people who have previously owned a home with the first opportunity to purchase KiwiBuild homes.

All KiwiBuild homes are new builds, so they are modern, warm and dry.
