One of New Zealand’s most significant challenges is the supply of housing. Unfortunately, an increasing number of people are struggling to find and afford a warm, dry home to live in.

A major constraint is the cost of providing housing in New Zealand. Many of our existing homes also face significant deferred maintenance issues. The reality is that the provision of housing is expensive and requires many parties to come together to ensure well-planned communities with sufficient infrastructure and community spaces.

To deliver affordable and social housing at scale usually requires some form of financial support from central or local government and/or new sources of funding and financing. Often difficult trade-offs between financial and social outcomes need to be considered. 

Having advised the Crown, Local Authorities, Community Housing Providers, property developers and financiers on a wide range of housing matters, we are well-versed in New Zealand’s social and affordable housing sector. 

We understand that safe, affordable and warm homes matter, and that there are often difficult trade-offs between financial and social outcomes in delivering social housing.

With these in mind, we support our clients to make the right strategic choices, drive positive outcomes for communities and leverage our global experience to solve local challenges.

Our multi-disciplinary team combines a wide range of technical and professional capabilities that can be applied across the housing sector. We bring together robust evidence with a nuanced understanding of how things work in practice to inform the design and application of system settings.
