However, more homes might have been completed than the 33 shown on the www.hud.govt.nz web site.
Those 33 homes completed are understood to have been current as at December 4. The 33 was homes then complete, not the number sold.
The KiwiBuild development team gets periodic updates from developers on their build progress at different times. The sales team gets updates from the real estate agents on the progress of sales.
Turning these into a constantly up-to-date snapshot nationally when they are subject to daily change is understood to be somewhat of a challenge but the staff at KiwiBuild are understood to be working on getting more current figures displayed.
Officials said this month that KiwiBuild numbers exceeded the 33 shown on the web site and in fact 55 homes were sold "or in the process of sale".
Those are:
• McLennan in Auckland: 23
• 340 Onehunga Mall, Auckland: 20
• Northlake, Wanaka: 4
• Tuatahi, Auckland: 5
• Mason Square, Auckland: 3
Twyford said late last year that 50 families would wake up in KiwiBuild homes on Christmas day. Precisely how many places were completed, sold and being occupied by December 25 remains unknown, due to those logistical challenges.
The best information that can be found on that is that it currently running at somewhere between 33 and 55 homes.
The ministry's web site says 4047 KiwiBuild homes are contracted to built and under "building" it lists 77 homes.
KiwiBuild's web site has 46,807 registered people interested in getting updates on the programme and 267 parties "pre-qualified" for KiwiBuild homes.
The Opposition's Judith Collins has predicted the Government would block any calls for a select committee inquiry into the departure of KiwiBuild chief executive Stephen Barclay.
Answers were needed about him leaving and his resignation last week followed an unexplained absence, she said.
