Looking for a high-quality, fast-turnaround solution for larger-scale housing developments? Modular construction is leading the way.

New Zealand is facing a significant housing‑supply crisis: it has been estimated that the country is short by around 40,000 homes. infometrics.co.nz
For developers, iwi, councils and community organisations, adopting a modular, volumetric construction approach offers a smarter, faster way forward. Using volumetric construction, our company, A‑Line, can deliver projects up to 50% faster than traditional on‑site construction — because modules are built off‑site while foundations and siteworks progress in parallel. This reduces time on‑site and accelerates delivery of new homes. Compared to a panelised approach (where wall, floor and roof panels are delivered and assembled on site, and much of the fit‑out remains on‑site),the volumetric method ensures the least amount of on‑site work. For example, a three‑bedroom show‑home built volumetrically demonstrated the speed and precision possible — delivering a finished, complete unit far quicker than an equivalent panelised version could be constructed on‑site.

At A-Line, we specialise in modular solutions purpose-built for scale. Whether you're planning a papakāinga, social housing, or community-focused development, our modular approach allows you to deliver high-quality homes faster, more efficiently, and with far less disruption.

Each module is built in our controlled factory environment, ensuring outstanding quality, reduced waste, and better working conditions. From single-storey to double-storey options, our designs are flexible and future-proofed. Need to expand later? Each home is designed to grow with the community additional bedrooms, bathrooms, or living spaces can be easily added without lengthy delays or moving residents out. A-Line’s two-storey designs are just the beginning. With engineered systems now supporting up to four or more levels, we’re pushing the limits of what’s possible.

Quality and consistency matter, especially at scale. At A-Line, speed never comes at the expense of quality. Every module is inspected at each project milestone through our iAudit quality control system, ensuring consistency from the factory to site. Each home carries two Code Compliance Certificates and two consents, one covering factory production and one for on-site construction, giving clients extra assurance at every stage. Our modular homes are designed and built to meet, and often exceed, the New Zealand Building Code, matching or surpassing the standards of traditional builds. With high standards for materials, finishes and workmanship, we deliver homes that are built faster without compromise.

Modular also supports your environmental goals. Our construction process generates significantly less waste and meets (or exceeds) environmental standards, helping reduce CO₂ emissions and supporting a healthier, greener New Zealand. With our factory diverting between 60-70% of construction waste by the recycling of materials like timber, plasterboard and metal offcuts. A-Lines modular residential projects are built in a controlled factory environment, every piece of material is measured and utilised to exact specifications. With this level of accuracy and precision this significantly reduces waste.
Modular construction offers large-scale housing developments a reliable path to quality, speed, and future-ready communities. If you're looking for smart, sustainable growth volumetric modular is ready.

Watch this space, A-Line's innovative multi-level modular is only going up from here.
