terrafermah
Terrafermah is a group of five entities
The focus of Terrafermah is to complete solely internal projects by vertically integrating its entities, to create competitive advantage. That is by speed of construction, reduced cost to develop and ability to scale.
We have worked in closely with various government and territorial authorities’ departments to build trusting relationships, that have allowed us to achieve our objectives. To ensure we have and retain competitive advantage, we have been developing our own proprietary housing building system protected by patents, as well as are undertaking further R & D to enhance dwelling build operation efficiencies. Besides patents pending, the dwelling design, manufacture and supply chain has received NZ government Multiproof approvals – which require territorial authorities to accept the design and fast track building consents.
To date no external entity contracts have been accepted from incorporated groups or international clients for supply or build of dwellings. “Guns for hire” is not our focus. We need to be involved to ensure objectives are met. Terrafermahs’ director Dave Fermah takes a hands on approach to the development manager role. His over view role is to ensure all the various strands of successful development are checked and coordinated- That is innovative offerings that create value, have a broad customer base, efficient design, finance, project management, settlement, stakeholders interests and returns on investment, are all achieved to predetermined levels.
