TerraFirma

Redefining construction from the ground up

TerraFirma is building the tools to unblock the bottlenecks in construction through software, operational improvements, and robotics.

01 Our Mission

Technology to solve the biggest infrastructure challenges on Earth, and one day on Mars

Physical infrastructure, the backbone of society, is currently too slow, costly, and dangerous to build. By applying first principles, AI-enabled software, novel processes, and autonomous robotics, we aim to make construction faster, cheaper, and safer.

This transformation will unlock the next generation of infrastructure and accelerate human progress. These innovations will also lay the groundwork for a future Mars settlement.

See in Action

Accelerated Operations

Retrofitted heavy machinery that can be remotely operated by small, highly efficient crews.

  • Autonomy

    Lean crews can design and trigger autonomous workflows carried out by retrofitted machinery.

  • Safety

    Multi-layer safety system, including automatic person detection and obstacle avoidance.

  • Efficiency

    Effective planning, clear work instructions, tight communication loops, and metrics tracking unlocks new levels of efficiency.

03
Key Benefits

Faster

Our tech enables multiple shifts per day, resulting in faster project execution.

Cheaper

Improved labor efficiency and higher equipment utilization results in significant cost reductions.

Safer

Removing operators from hazardous environments reduces risk of accidents.

05 Reindustrialize

Re-industrialize

Build societal scale infrastructure for a brighter future

Today, America is changing.

Our economy is undergoing a radical re-industrialization, but our current infrastructure can’t support that shift. TerraFirma will pioneer practical technological solutions to dramatically improve both the speed and cost of modernizing infrastructure and re-industrializing the nation.

After solving earthmoving, we’ll tackle the next bottlenecks in the construction process, including underground utilities, concrete, and structural steel.

The technological solutions required to re-industrialize America will be largely the same that are required to build an industrial society on Mars.

 

06 Next Revolution

Mars rising

In our lifetime, TerraFirma will lead the charge to build the heavy civil infrastructure to forge an industrial society on Mars

At SpaceX, we built the rockets to reach Mars.

Now, we’re focused on the payload, the tech that will make multiplanetary life possible.

Every breakthrough we make on Earth brings us one step closer to that future.
