Integrated Progressive Design-Build
An integrated progressive design-build approach that delivers quality buildings faster by combining a pre-assembled team, standardized designs, and repeatable components. Built around the Kiwi Precast System, FastPASS aligns concept design, proforma feasibility, value engineering, modular manufacturing, and construction into one coordinated process.
Prefabricated. Accelerated. Single-Source
The future is prefabricated
Kiwi FastPASS is Kiwi Newton’s integrated progressive design-build approach for delivering projects with greater speed, clarity, and coordination. It brings together a pre-assembled team, standardized processes, standardized designs, and single-source leadership so planning, design, prefabrication, and construction move forward as one aligned process.
FastPASS is the approach, and the Kiwi Precast System is the modular building system it uses. This allows projects to be designed from the outset for prefabrication, helping reduce redesign, improve budget and schedule confidence, and deliver durable, high-performance buildings that can be repeated and scaled more efficiently.
more than modular
it's a methodology
While the modular components are an important part of our solution, it is only one part. In order to truly increase construction productivity, the whole delivery process must be integrated.
Kiwi FastPASS is an “Integrated Design & Delivery” approach. Other modular solutions are trying to solve one problem in a whole interconnected web of inefficiencies. We are addressing the whole equation; a single-source solution for planning, developing, designing, building and maintaining.
Kiwi FastPASS
A true modular system is a full project delivery methodology that leverages process standardization in planning, design, manufacturing and construction.
By integrating these processes, Kiwi FastPASS brings the “economies of scale” seen in the automotive and manufacturing industries into building construction. With our deep experience in construction, we’ve developed streamlined, modular systems that deliver optimal building performance, faster construction times, and superior energy efficiency.
Standardization
When Kiwi standardizes components, it also creates the conditions for standardized design logic, repeatable DfMA decisions, stable supply chains, bulk purchasing, inventory planning, consistent shipping and assembly methods, and future drag-and-drop project configuration.
In other words, standardization does not just help us build faster. It helps us design, price, coordinate, and deliver projects with greater consistency and control.
This is similar in principle to how IKEA uses standard components across multiple product lines, enabling repeatable connection details, efficient assembly methods, streamlined manufacturing, and products that are designed to work together within a common system.
Think like an automotive company
D.f.M.A.
Taking inspiration from the automotive industry, Kiwi FastPASS follows a similar approach by bringing the entire team in-house.
Automotive manufacturers have adopted a strategy of vertical integration, allowing their teams to work closely with one another to manage design, engineering, manufacturing, and delivery, thus ensuring optimal efficiency in both cost and functionality.
This methodology is called Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA).
DfMA is a product design methodology which considers manufacturing parameters and assembly procedures during the design stage to reduce total time and cost of delivering the product.
Kiwi FastPASS is the DfMA for Construction.
Kiwi FastPASS
a preassembled team that knows each other's efficiencies
Path 1: Custom Project Start
The owner brings the site, financing, and planning team, then engages Kiwi Newton early. The Kiwi FastPASS team quickly advances concept design, feasibility, and value engineering before moving the project through approvals, permit development, fabrication, construction, finishing, commissioning, and occupancy.
Path 2: Catalog-Based Start
Coming soon, owners will be able to begin with the Kiwi FastPASS catalog, and eventually a digital portal, using predesigned floor layouts and unit configurations to shape a project more efficiently. Since these options have already been developed through value engineering and DfMA, the Kiwi FastPASS team can implement them faster and advance the project more efficiently through approvals, permit development, fabrication, construction, finishing, commissioning, and occupancy.
Land, financing, planning, and development vision
Integrated, progressive design-build delivery team, standardized designs, modular prefabrication of the Kiwi Precast System, and construction
The owner or building operator manages the completed asset, with Kiwi support for key system maintenance
From multi-unit residential to institutional and hospitality projects, Kiwi FastPASS is best suited to buildings that benefit from repeatable layouts, early design coordination, and prefabricated delivery. The result is a more scalable project path with faster iteration, better integration, and greater delivery confidence.
What is the Kiwi FastPASS Approach?
Kiwi FastPASS is Kiwi Newton’s integrated progressive design-build approach for delivering buildings faster and with greater certainty.
It brings together a pre-assembled team, standardized design logic, early feasibility work, value engineering, and repeatable prefabricated delivery into one coordinated process.

What is the difference between Kiwi FastPASS and the Kiwi Precast System?
Kiwi FastPASS is the approach.
The Kiwi Precast System is the prefabricated building system used within that approach.
FastPASS defines how the project is planned, coordinated, value-engineered, and delivered, while the Kiwi Precast System provides the repeatable structural and enclosure platform that supports that delivery model.
You can also explore Precast Concrete Manufacturing and Automation & Prefabrication for more background.
Does standardization limit design flexibility?
No. Standardization creates a repeatable foundation, but it does not mean every building looks the same.
Standardized components, layouts, and connection logic make it possible to design more efficiently while still achieving project-specific layouts, façades, performance targets, and architectural outcomes.
See how this works within the Kiwi Precast System, and explore related performance topics on Net-Zero Buildings.
How does Kiwi FastPASS support faster delivery?
FastPASS aligns design, approvals, prefabrication, and construction as one coordinated process instead of a series of disconnected handoffs.
With the right early inputs, the team can move more quickly from concept to permit-ready design and then into manufacturing, site work, assembly, finishing, and occupancy.
To learn more about the manufacturing side, visit Automation & Prefabrication and Precast Concrete Manufacturing.
Will Kiwi FastPASS include a catalog or configurator?
That is the long-term direction.
The goal is to develop a catalog of predesigned unit types, floor layouts, and repeatable building configurations that can help owners move through early planning more quickly.
Over time, this can evolve into a more interactive digital workflow.
In the meantime, you can explore Kiwi’s broader capabilities through Resources and Projects.
Can Kiwi support the building after occupancy?
Yes.
While the owner or operator manages the completed asset, Kiwi can support maintenance of key system elements and building infrastructure.
This helps extend the value of an integrated delivery model beyond construction alone.

How is Kiwi FastPASS different from traditional project delivery?
Traditional delivery often separates design, pricing, and construction into different stages and teams, which can create delays, redesign, and coordination gaps.
Kiwi FastPASS brings the key players together early so concept design, value engineering, feasibility, prefabrication, and construction planning can move forward in a more integrated way.
You can compare approaches on Design-Build Construction and in Mitigating Construction Delays: The Power of Design-Build and Prefabrication.
What does the detailed Kiwi FastPASS process look like?
The Kiwi FastPASS process typically begins when the owner or developer brings forward the key front-end inputs, including the site, financing, planning team, and project vision.
From there, Kiwi engages early and leads a coordinated process through concept design, pro forma feasibility, value engineering, and DfMA-informed development.
Once the project direction is aligned, the team advances through site plan approvals, building permit development, prefabrication planning, manufacturing, construction, finishing, commissioning, and occupancy.
