A brand name better known for electronics than construction has finished its first New Zealand home.
Panasonic Homes says it has built a prefabricated three-bedroom prototype in the Waikato s Te Kauwhata, the first of many it will produce with one of New Zealand s largest house-builders, Mike Greer Commercial.
Anna Filippova, Panasonic Homes New Zealand representative, said the business could build a house in around three months whereas most New Zealand homes took around seven months.
The company was drawn here in 2018 when the Government established KiwiBuild and invited overseas prefabricated housing manufacturers in, she said. When KiwiBuild became part of Kāinga Ora, Panasonic joined Mike Greer to develop its first home.
