From empty paddock to finished building in just 5 months – that’s what we delivered at 761 East Bank Road in Edgecumbe with this 950m² Fonterra Farm Source facility. The building combines retail space, offices, and storage areas with a practical drive-through canopy, all designed by LAD Architecture to enhance customer experience while maintaining brand consistency. The custom-painted green cladding makes this new facility stand out like a beacon for farmers in the rural community it serves.

The interior delivers a professional yet approachable atmosphere that aligns perfectly with the client’s established identity. Polished concrete flooring throughout provides durability and a contemporary finish that can handle the traffic from muddy Red Bands, while decorative plywood accents above the office spaces add warmth to the environment. Every element of the layout was carefully considered to balance functionality with Fonterra Farm Source’s distinctive brand requirements.

Initial ground condition challenges were quickly overcome once the first layer of imported fill was established, allowing construction to progress efficiently without weather delays. The streamlined process enabled our team to install key features according to schedule, resulting in a high-quality facility delivered on time. Fonterra Farm Source has expressed significant satisfaction with both the final result and the efficient project execution, marking another successful collaboration
