The NZ context is very different, but sometimes the problems are the same. Waterloo has been building a heck of a lot more than NZ though. Options For Homes was doing some low-cost housing and our first place was built by them, but I haven't heard much from them lately. Here's a developer that is actually trying to build units more efficiently:

I think Canadian builders are more efficient than NZ builders already, but I'm sure they're not optimally efficient.
