Bringing mass production thinking to construction
There's no hiding from it…commercial building in New Zealand has become painfully slow, eye-wateringly expensive.
ECOTECH COMMERCIAL (NZ) LTD (“ECOTECH”) is a next generation construction company that is turning traditional building on its head – delivering architectural quality buildings faster and more affordably than ever before. We have extensive expertis in delivery of high-volume afforable residential developments.
Like Henry Ford did a century ago, ECOTECH has re-imagined the manufacturing process. We’ve taken the mass production technologies you see being used by global manufacturing giants such as Boeing and Toyota and applied it to construction. Traditional tasks such as plumbing, tiling and painting are now performed in our giant all-weather, 35 acre precision factory. No more waiting for the rain to stop or waiting for the plumber to show up.
Componentry is standardised and produced in volume. Repetition leads to economies of scale and the ability to rapidly deliver a quality product at price that is typically thousands of dollars less than our competitors.
BUILDINGS THAT GO TOGETHER LIKE CHILDREN'S BUILDING SETS
GAME-CHANGING “STACKING” TECHNOLOGY
By swapping traditional wood framing for an ultra-strong structural steel chassis, our MULTI-POD modules can do something that is genuinely game changing– they can stack - up to 7 levels.
ONE MODULE. UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES
Modules can be seamlessly combined together into thousands of different (but fully compliant) configurations - from low rise residential buildings to full high-rise developments. Start with one of our layout designs, then customise the mix and layout of modules based on your specific needs, budget and site dimensions.
Each MULTI-POD is a self-contained cell, with all the required structural, acoustic and fire protection systems engineered directly into each module. Without the engineering limitations to worry about, there is almost unlimited to scope to customise a layout that works perfectly for your project
SkyPod - Second dwelling options
BUILD TIMES MEASURED IN DAYS
OFF-SITE FABRICATION TO RADICALLY CUT PROJECT TIMELINES
projects completed 2 - 3 times faster
ECOTECH significantly accelerates the total building process, with modules delivered to site fully complete - right down to the light bulbs.
Rapid Design. The MBIE MultiProof process accelerates the design process, with architectural and engineering detail on existing plans able to repeated quickly and cost effectively.
Site works completed simultaneously with factory production – effectively halving project timelines.
Installation in minutes. Modules literally ‘snap connect’ to the pre-formed foundations. We aim to install a minimum of 12 modules per day.
A faster build time means BIG savings in construction cost. Plus, customers are able to start earning income from completed projects months or even years earlier.
UNMATCHED VALUE
Using precision mass production
Up to 40% lower costs – with no compromise on quality
ECOTECH’s off-shore production facility is a world leader in Modular production, with a staggering 35 acres of high-tech production space. The facility combines state-of-the-art technology and global manufacturing muscle to create a scale of production that is simply not available in New Zealand.
Where conventional builders are constructing one-off bespoke projects, our facilities has the capacity to manufacture over 10 Million m2 of modules each year.
It’s not rocket science: volume means bigger buying power and the ability to utilise automated production lines to manufacture faster, cheaper and more accurately than ever before.
Our low cost structure enabled us to supply the affordable housing market with high specification homes that meet tight Kiwibuild pricing.
