Wishing you a very happy holiday. Over the break, we’re bringing back a few of your favourite Between the Walls episodes for you to enjoy. Thank you so much for your support this year. Have a beautiful holiday, and we can’t wait to be back with Season 2.

In this episode, Janey and Penny sit down with Andre from Flexi House — a company reshaping the way New Zealanders build warm, efficient, future-proof homes. Flexi House is all about building smarter: using offsite construction, high-performance systems, and a decentralised manufacturing model that supports architects, builders, and homeowners across the country.

This kōrero dives into why New Zealand urgently needs better-quality homes, how Flexi House collaborates with professionals nationwide, and what it means to design homes that flex and grow with you over time. From fast on-site assembly to energy efficiency, sustainability, and navigating building consent, this conversation offers a grounded, practical look at the future of building in Aotearoa.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• How Flexi House supports the wider industry to deliver high-performance homes
• Why offsite, panelised construction speeds up build times
• How architecturally led design keeps quality high and consistent
• Streamlined planning through learnings from previous projects
• Collaboration with architects and builders around the country
• How a decentralised manufacturing model reduces client risk
• Why high-performance homes are crucial in cold climates
• Designs that allow for growth, expansion, and future flexibility
• Sustainability as a core principle — energy efficiency, reduced waste, and long-term resilience
• Navigating building consent and working closely with councils
