Building smarter, faster, and better for everyone
We believe sustainability shouldn’t be a luxury.
At KLIMATBUILD we create high-performance homes through intentional design and efficient construction, combining clever architectural thinking with sustainable technologies to produce warm, healthy living environments. Committed to redefining the way we build, we offer innovative and energy-efficient construction solutions that are architecturally designed, built quickly, and built to last
The Founder
Lance Goodwin
" With over 30 years of experience designing homes, I’ve witnessed a dramatic evolution in building technologies, regulations, and the way we respond to them. My journey began in Wellington, surrounded by the iconic “little boxes made of ticky-tacky,” and has since been rooted in timber-framed construction. "
Our Story
The Growing complexity of Building
Over time, the building industry has become increasingly complex. In response to challenges like the leaky building crisis, we’ve layered solution upon solution—introducing new products for every minor task: wall linings, vapour barriers, structural elements, insulation, building wraps, flashings, tapes, air seals, drainage cavities, and more. The result? Construction processes that are more complicated, time-consuming, and expensive than ever before.
Refocusing on what matters
We’ve reached a point where 12-inch-thick walls are becoming the norm, and labour and build times have more than tripled. All this, while we continue to chase elusive solutions to moisture, condensation, and thermal performance. It’s time to ask: What are we really trying to build?​
At its core, a home should be a comfortable, resilient shelter. Designed to withstand earthquakes, adapt to environmental conditions, and support sustainable living.
A forward thinking construction system
That’s why Klimatbuild was created.
Klimatbuild is a forward-thinking construction system that bridges the gap between outdated, labour-intensive methods and the demands of a climate-conscious future. It integrates multifunctional materials and off-site technologies that can be tailored on-site to deliver high-performance, architecturally unique homes—efficiently and affordably.
