Productivity Driven – Delivery Transformation - Kāinga Ora Homes and Communities

Matthew will be joined by Paul Jenkins, Operations Manager at Jennian Homes - who will talk about Jennian Homes' experience as a partner working with the HDS. 

The Delivery Transformation Group was formed from Project Velocity to help find ways to transform Kāinga Ora’s delivery systems starting with the Housing Delivery System (HDS) which is a delivery system designed to reduce design and construction times.  This is a result of eliminating waste, rework and inefficiencies in the design, planning and construction phases, increasing our ability to deliver homes more efficiently.
