About Us

These plans are used to manufacture closed wall panels, and floor and roof cassettes in our manufacturing plant in Wiri and then shipped and assembled-on site by our assembly team to complete our customer offering. Offsite manufacturing is considered one of the best practices for streamlining the production of homes at scale and pace.

We have a vision at Clever Core New Zealand, and that is to create a positive culture across our operations through solid leadership and people managers that focus on bringing the right people into the business. With a focus on training and developing, we care about what we do and how we do it and this mindset is top of the list for each person we bring into the business.
