Since 1994, Kiwi Newton has been providing high-quality, sustainable, and affordable construction solutions across Canada. As a leader in modular and prefabricated building systems, we simplify the construction process from design to completion, ensuring efficiency, quality, and value in every project.
Build for the future
Kiwi Newton is a Canadian construction company, founded in 1994, that has built a reputation for delivering innovative, high-quality building solutions. Originally focused on traditional construction, Kiwi Newton has expanded its capabilities by incorporating modular and prefabricated methods into its operations as part of a vertical integration strategy.
This approach allows the company to manage every aspect of the construction process, from design and planning to fabrication and on-site assembly, ensuring efficiency, quality control, and cost savings.
Our Approach
Kiwi Newton’s approach to construction is grounded in its modular and prefabricated building systems, which leverage standardization and integration to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.
Our Design-Build approach to construction seamlessly integrates planning, design, prefabrication, construction, and commissioning into a single streamlined process.
This methodology ensures clear communication, cost certainty, and timely project completion. By acting as the sole point of responsibility, we eliminate the inefficiencies and risks associated with traditional construction methods. Our innovative use of advanced technologies and sustainable practices allows us to deliver high-quality, energy-efficient homes tailored to our clients’ unique needs.
At every stage, Kiwi Newton prioritizes collaboration, excellence, and client satisfaction to create residential spaces that truly stand out.
We ask the right questions to deliver the desired end results.
Our client-centric approach allows us to deeply understand the unique needs and goals of each residential project. This understanding is the cornerstone of our value engineering process, enabling us to tailor solutions that optimize every aspect of the building.
By involving stakeholders at every stage, we ensure that our designs align perfectly with client objectives and operational requirements.
This collaborative effort allows us to enhance efficiency, functionality, and performance, ultimately delivering residential buildings that provide the best possible return on investment while meeting the highest standards of quality and sustainability.
Our approach is an “Integrated Design & Delivery” solution.
Other modular solutions are trying to solve one problem in an interconnected web of inefficiencies. We are addressing the whole equation; a single-source solution for planning, developing, designing, building and maintaining.
Combining our modular solutions with the other divisions of our company, we can design the building, manufacture the modular components, prepare the siteworks, install the building, finish it, and get it ready for occupancy.
When construction companies vertically integrate themselves like this, they can solve inefficiencies and drive down cost throughout the whole process.
From Design to Occupancy.
Our approach considers that affordability, especially housing affordability, is not just about the upfront capital cost of building the project.
Affordability must be maintained long-term. Otherwise, cheap buildings will be constructed, and the burden of cost will be pushed into the future in the form of costly repairs, updates and expensive ongoing operations costs (electricity, gas, maintenance, etc.).
Kiwi Newton designs and builds projects that have an attractive construction cost, but also have low operating costs due to superior energy efficiency, passive designs, and reducing loads on mechanical equipment.
Most buildings constructed in the last 50 years were not concerned with energy efficiency, leading to excessive greenhouse gas emissions and a burdened electrical grid. While there is a push towards net-zero buildings, it often comes with higher construction costs.
However, the buildings that Kiwi Newton constructs are inherently energy efficient with no added cost. Our Net-Zero Ready buildings can be built for less than the average cost per square foot using the Kiwi Newton approach, offering a sustainable solution that is both environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
Kiwi Newton uses innovative solutions for residential building projects by implementing modular and prefabricated construction methods, enhancing efficiency and precision. We utilize advanced technologies like Building Information Modeling (BIM) for accurate planning and augmented reality for design visualization. Additionally, we adopt carbon-reducing techniques to minimize environmental impact, ensuring our buildings are state-of-the-art and sustainable.
At Kiwi Newton, quality and safety are top priorities. We adhere to stringent quality control measures and safety standards, continuously refining our construction methodologies. As a COR-certified company, we ensure that every project meets the highest safety and quality benchmarks. Our commitment includes regular safety audits, employee training programs, and best practices in construction, providing peace of mind to our clients while delivering superior, reliable buildings.
