Behind a paywall… A modular company has hit trouble… Evergreen (Build Partners).
Building modular mass social housing with green credentials.
Seems good sense is playing out. Subcontractors weren’t getting paid, raised concerns to Kianga Ora. K.O now working through with Build Partners to take over the project.
Very tough going out there now. Good to see resolutions being worked through. Important to have the trades paid.
Innovation attempted and takes courage.
All the best to those making the decisions. Surely since 2020 these have been the absolute worst of modern construction times?
For years I would plan houses, travel widely and observe communities. I also had the privilege of working for New Zealand's largest dairy company in both New Zealand and Malaysia. All the while supported by my husband and young daughter. After a while, our roles swapped and we moved to the Arabian Gulf. Meanwhile my passion for property and communities continued to simmer.
Along came COVID and had no choice but to pivot... in the words of Robert Frost, I looked for and "found the road less travelled by" and decided that maybe I could "make [a] the difference".
I look for to find insights and built a few of the houses that we need. This means a saleable house and a profitable and sustainable business.
