Terraform,
v.t. [L. terra earth +
formare to form, shape.]

  1. To form or shape earth or dirt.
  2. To render (a place or object) like unto the Earth; to make Earth-like.

At SpaceX, we learned that the biggest challenge wasn’t building the rocket, it was building the infrastructure to support it.

Now we’re taking that same bold engineering mindset and using it to transform construction, making it faster, cheaper, and safer. By speeding up how we build, we can unlock human potential, tackle civilization’s toughest challenges, and lay the foundation for life on Mars.

America is entering a new era of reindustrialization and construction is the engine that will power it.

TerraFirma is reinventing the process, beginning with earthmoving, the foundation of every project. We are starting in Texas, the frontier of growth, where new infrastructure is taking shape. We are building the orchestration layer for the construction process, streamlining every step to accelerate progress.

Retrofitting Machinery

We upgrade existing equipment so one operator can run multiple machines at the same time using automation tools and teleoperation

Faster

Work around the clock or shift labor as needed

Cheaper

Get more from your team and equipment

Safer

Cut risks and keep operators out of harm’s way

Mission Control

A software platform to work with 3D models, carry out site plans, and coordinate people and machines

Faster

Work around the clock or shift labor as needed

Cheaper

Real-World Projects

Our tech is already on job sites, with data guiding what we build and improve

Our Philosophy —  An Engine for Change

Construction is full of bottlenecks. Every delay slows the work and drives up the cost. We break down the entire process, pinpoint the few bottlenecks that matter most, and engineer the tools to remove them.

We proved this approach with rockets, making them faster and cheaper to build than anyone thought possible. Now we are doing the same for infrastructure.

Following the SpaceX algorithm:

  1. Question Every Requirement
  2. Delete Any Part or Process You Can
  3. Simplify and Optimize
  4. Accelerate Every Process
  5. Automate Last

The result isn't incremental improvement in the
construction process. It's a leap in magnitude.
