Building Momentum events and webinars

Building Momentum was created as a means of collaborating with the industry to achieve the rising build targets set for Kāinga Ora for new public and supported housing. The framework was developed with and for the industry, so the Building Momentum team hosts regular outreach events to ensure our stakeholders see what’s being achieved under the plan.

Our Building Momentum webinar series aims to provide an insightful and engaging way to share some of our key construction initiatives, progress and insights with the industry.
