Established in 2023The Digital Built Aotearoa Foundation was created in 2023. Initially established to provide a national, neutral home for the NZ Forward Works Viewer, it will expand to become a repository of knowledge across the infrastructure sector, with a specific focus on collaboration and disaster recovery to improve infrastructure resilience.

Our GoalTo encourage collaboration and knowledge sharing from lessons learned to enable and improve infrastructure resilience throughout Aotearoa

Our motu is special. Beautifully rugged, remote, geographically diverse and with a strong cultural and national identity, it is a unique land.
But with our incredible geography comes susceptibility to natural disasters and climate change.
Aotearoa is taonga we need to protect.
As a country we’ve amassed vast amounts of knowledge from our experiences in disaster recovery within the infrastructure sector.
We’ve built tools, collected data and developed processes – but once the recovery phase is over, tools are switched off and life goes on, and all knowledge gained is not necessarily shared.
To address this, the Digital Built Aotearoa Foundation was set up in 2023. It’s a place to act as a repository of digitally collated information of the built environment. Our aim is to be a neutral entity to host and publish national infrastructure data via the National Forward Works Viewer, and to enable collaboration and knowledge sharing to improve infrastructure resilience throughout Aotearoa.
Let’s not be gatekeepers of knowledge.
Collating and using information on the built environment in peace time allows us easy access to when we will need it most.

Want to know more about the National Forward Works Viewer?
The National Forward Works Viewer is Aotearoa's online map of planned infrastructure works. It allows users to upload their planned work programmes to one central map, accessible to different organisations, to create a single authoritative repository of mapped forward work programmes.
With built in clash/opportunity detection, and the ability to overlay additional geospatial data to improve context of the area, it quickly becomes a powerful tool to enable organisations to coordinate and collaborate with one another to improve project sequencing and timelines.
This results in savings in both time, money and reputation.
