Kit homes and prefab houses from New Zealand

We hold 14 kit home makers based in New Zealand, out of 514 worldwide. Average completeness is 34 percent.

Makers here publish an insulation value far more often than the Index as a whole, 29 percent against 9. That is almost always the local building rules asking for it rather than the makers volunteering it.

A kit made in New Zealand can still be scored against land in the United States, because the hazard half of the answer comes from your address and the kit half comes from what the maker publishes. What it cannot do is skip your building department. Ask about an ICC-ES evaluation report before you ask about anything else, because without one an imported system is difficult to permit. 0 of these 14 say they ship to the United States.
