Harvesting & Planning

Roading and engineering costs can be one of the biggest costs when harvesting. It’s critical to get this part of the equation right and we tailor a budget spend to save you thousands.

FTF have been harvesting in the Wairarapa/Wellington region for over 14 years. Our Harvest Managment skills will ensure your harvest is completed the most efficient and effective way possible. Our commitment to integrity, honesty, and ethical practices guarantees that we stay within budget while delivering exceptional results.

Need to build a bridge, a shipping container culvert, or a road, or construct a landing to help process your trees? We handle all of that with the utmost care and responsibility, providing the best cost control possible to optimise your return. Our approach fosters trust, and our long-standing reputation in the community is built on word-of-mouth referrals from satisfied clients.

If you need a Resource Consent, Corridor Access Request, Close Approach Powerline permit, Historic Places Accord, or Traffic Management Plan, we’ll establish the necessary regulatory measures and ensure your project is fully compliant. We approach every step with transparency and accountability, ensuring nothing is overlooked.
