Types of Residential Construction Projects
Our Approach
Kiwi Newton’s approach to residential 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 residential 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.

Energy-Efficient Building Construction
Net-Zero Buildings
Kiwi Newton uses advanced prefabricated and modular construction methods designed for superior efficiency and sustainability.
Our system features concrete panels with continuous exterior insulation ensuring that the concrete’s thermal mass effectively regulates indoor temperatures, keeping spaces warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
The inclusion of in-floor heating and cooling systems further enhances comfort, utilizing the building’s thermal mass for consistent and efficient temperature regulation. Panels are connected to ensure exceptional air tightness which improves overall energy performance.
The Kiwi Precast System results in buildings that are more durable, sustainable, energy-efficient, comfortable, and of higher quality compared to conventional construction, while also being less costly to build and operate. Reports show 60% more energy-efficient and produces fewer than 10% of the GHG emissions compared to a typical low-rise condo building.
Our buildings achieve net-zero status by integrating solar arrays and geothermal systems, leveraging their highly efficient building envelopes and substantial thermal mass. Exterior insulation and airtight design reduce heating and cooling needs, while solar panels meet electricity demands with renewable energy.
Geothermal systems provide efficient heating and cooling by using the earth’s stable temperatures. Combined with hydronic heating and cooling elements in the concrete thermal mass, these systems maintain consistent indoor climates with minimal energy use. This integration ensures our buildings exceed energy efficiency standards, offering sustainable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly living spaces.
The Kiwi Precast System is designed for inherent energy efficiency, with insulation positioned on the exterior of the precast concrete walls. This envelopes the concrete within a substantial layer of insulation. The floor elements incorporate water lines, transforming the structure into a Thermally Active Building System (TABS), a method used globally to heat and cool buildings by harnessing the thermal mass of the structure.
TABS takes advantage of concrete’s high heat capacity to efficiently store and release heat. The concrete mass acts as a thermal battery, absorbing energy from the sun during the day and gradually releasing it during cooler nights. This process maintains consistent indoor temperatures, reducing fluctuations due to outdoor weather changes.
Embedded hydronic lines further leverage the building’s mass to store and distribute heat, providing both heating and cooling through a centralized, energy-efficient system. This results in more stable indoor temperatures, reduced energy consumption, and lower operational costs, creating comfortable and environmentally friendly buildings.
Thermal activations allows buildings to simplify, centralize and future-proof the mechanical elements.
Simplified Mechanical Systems: Eliminates traditional ductwork, fans, and complex components, simplifying maintenance and reducing operational complexities. Hassle-free mechanicals in a Kiwi building lead to lower maintenance costs.
Centralized Heating and Cooling: A centralized system efficiently heats or cools the entire building, ensuring uniform temperature distribution and eliminating the need for multiple units. This approach simplifies maintenance and enhances operational efficiency.
Future-Proofing: A Kiwi Building’s adaptability is a key advantage. Upgrading or changing heating or cooling technology is easy with a single, centralized system. This reduces complexity and costs, making the Kiwi Precast System a smart long-term investment.
With high insulating value, special care is taken to limit thermal bridging. Thermal bridging occurs when an exterior element is directly connected to an interior element without any thermal breaks. A prime example is when a balcony is simply a cantilevered extension of the floor slab. With this building detail, the cold concrete balcony is a bridge for your heating energy to leave your building.
Kiwi Newton employs thermally broken balconies and facade mounting to eliminate thermal bridges. Instead of a cantilevered balcony, a precast slab is supported on the exterior of the building via columns or ‘wing walls,’ which are thermally broken and structurally separate from the main building walls.
Sustainability has several key factors:
Environmentally Friendly: Minimizes environmental footprint using recycled or locally sourced materials, reducing energy and water consumption, and incorporating renewable energy sources like solar panels.
Resource Efficient: Designed to use energy and water efficiently with features like high-performance insulation, water-saving fixtures, and intelligent building systems.
Healthy for Occupants: Prioritizes occupant health with natural ventilation, lighting, indoor air quality control, and access to daylight and green spaces.
Durable and Adaptable: Built to last and adaptable for future changes in use or technology, reducing the need for renovations or demolition.
Waste Reduction: Minimizes waste during construction and designs for disassembly and material reuse at the end of its lifespan.
