Green Timber Technology (GTT) is delivering 32 new social housing dwellings across 16 sites in Western Sydney under a $24 million Design and Construct contract with Homes NSW, supporting the NSW Government’s major statewide housing delivery program.
Awarded late last year, the project forms part of the NSW Government’s $6.6 billion Building Homes for NSW program, which aims to deliver up to 8,400 new social homes over four years, prioritising new builds and upgrades across metropolitan and regional NSW.
The GTT Western Sydney contract includes the design and construction of 14 duplexes and two dual-living homes, delivering 32 architecturally designed, four-bedroom residences with generous open-plan living, tailored for families and multi-generational households.
The homes are being designed in collaboration with ES Design and delivered using GTT’s customised “Kit-of-Parts” housing system, purpose-developed to meet Homes NSW requirements while ensuring certainty around cost, quality and delivery timeframes.
GTT is currently progressing approvals for its Homes NSW-specific ‘Kit-of-Parts’ home plans, enabling repeatable, scalable delivery across multiple sites while maintaining strong architectural outcomes.
“This Western Sydney project is exactly what the Building Homes for NSW program is designed to achieve — more homes delivered faster, with greater certainty and quality,” said Pete Morrison, CEO of GTT.
“By combining upfront design resolution with offsite manufacturing, we reduce construction risk, labour pressure and program uncertainty. All critical challenges facing housing delivery today.”
The project is being delivered using Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), aligning directly with the NSW Government’s commitment to expanding industrialised and prefabricated construction to accelerate housing supply and improve delivery outcomes.
Under this approach, homes are manufactured as precision-engineered floor, wall and roof panels in GTT’s controlled factory environment in Orange, NSW, before rapid on-site installation across Western Sydney sites. This method reduces on-site construction time, minimises disruption to surrounding communities and enables earlier progression to weather-tight stages.
Ian Harris, Project Manager – Delivery at Homes NSW, said the project reflects the growing role of MMC in meeting the state’s housing needs.
“Western Sydney is a priority growth area, and projects like this demonstrate how modern construction methods can support faster delivery of high-quality social housing while maintaining strong design and livability standards.”
The GTT Kit-of-Parts system standardises critical structural and manufacturing elements while retaining flexibility in layout, façade treatment and site response — allowing Homes NSW to achieve consistency across multiple sites without compromising architectural intent.
Manufactured locally and delivered at scale, the Western Sydney program further strengthens GTT’s growing portfolio of government and community housing projects nationally and reinforces its role in enabling the NSW Government’s transition to smarter, more resilient housing delivery models.
