Welcome to Terra Firma Builders Ltd.

For thousands of years, civilizations have been building with rammed earth. Secured wooden forms, filled with damp earth were compacted to create stable walls that have lasted several lifetimes.

Terra Firma Builders use updated ancient rammed earth processes - a new global standard for durable, healthy and energy efficient buildings and spaces. SIREWALLs are Stabilized, Insulated, Rammed Earth walls. With a blend of locally-sourced soils, Terra Firma Builders use advanced formwork customized for each design. From a dream home or cottage to a winery or cultural centre, Terra Firma Builders construct beautiful SIREWALL rammed earth walls with timeless distinction.

Why Rammed Earth?
