Details
Mooreliving is a New Zealand–based specialist in panel construction, engineering and manufacturing with more than three decades of experience. The company presents itself as a developer of multiple panel-based building systems for residential, transportable and remote projects, and cites a track record that includes over 5,000 homes completed and 65 apartment buildings since its establishment in 1985. Mooreliving positions its expertise across low‑cost housing, modular and precast construction, emphasizing rapid construction, high insulation performance and offsite finishing capabilities.
PassiveWall (Lightweight)
According to Mooreliving, PassiveWall is a structural insulated panel system comprising COLORSTEEL® exterior and interior linings with polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulation cores. The system is described as usable for walls, floors and roofs across dwellings and transportable buildings. Mooreliving highlights two main performance points: significantly faster erection compared with traditional framing or blockwork, and high thermal insulation. The company notes that the PassiveWall shell provides a weather‑tight envelope quickly, enabling internal trades and exterior finishing to proceed in parallel and reducing on‑site construction time.
Insulated Precast
Mooreliving’s original, long‑running system uses precast concrete panels with an insulated polystyrene core as replacements for conventional materials such as brick and timber. The firm notes over 30 years of use for a variety of residential plans, with panels delivered and erected on site, floors poured, and roofs installed much as in conventional construction sequencing. A stated benefit of the precast approach is structural flexibility—no internal load‑bearing walls are required—allowing interior layouts to be tailored to client specifications while maintaining year‑round internal temperature control through the insulated core.
M³ Modular Transportable System
The M³ system is presented as a modular, transportable housing approach built from Mooreliving panels. It assembles series of cube modules (1 to 4+ bedroom configurations) formed from panel walls, floors and roofs. Mooreliving describes a factory finishing workflow—internal partitions, services, fittings and appliances installed prior to shipping—followed by site installation where utility connections complete occupancy readiness. The company emphasizes rapid deployment potential and layout flexibility afforded by the cube‑based approach.
Relevance for co‑living contexts
From the information provided, Mooreliving’s product suite focuses on speed of delivery, high thermal performance and configurational flexibility, with options for offsite finishing and modular transportability. These attributes are presented as applicable to residential, low‑cost, transportable and remote housing projects.
