Concrete has long been the backbone of infrastructure, offering strength, durability, and versatility. At PermaGroup, we believe that traditional concrete solutions can always be improved through innovation. Across our four brands – Permastore, Permafab, Permaloo, and Permacrete – we are redefining concrete fabrication to enhance efficiency and long-term performance.

The Evolution of Pre-Fabrication in Concrete

Pre-fabrication is revolutionising the concrete industry, offering faster, more efficient construction with reduced environmental and community impact. Instead of pouring and curing concrete on-site, pre-fabricated solutions are built in controlled environments, ensuring precision and consistency while reducing labour costs and construction time.

Permastore: Secure and Smart Storage Solutions

Innovation in pre-fabricated concrete sheds is changing how industries protect their critical assets. Permastore sheds are constructed using advanced moulding techniques that ensure uniformity, durability, and weather resistance. This allows for quick, efficient installation and reduces material waste, making them a cost-effective, high-performance solution. 

Permastore sheds are engineered for rapid installation and easy relocation, making them ideal for housing water treatment systems, electrical equipment, hazardous chemicals and other essential infrastructure. This method significantly cuts down on-site work, reducing downtime and ensuring project deadlines are met efficiently.

Permafab: Durable Outdoor Spaces Built to Last

The demand for outdoor spaces that withstand time and use has never been greater, especially in a country like New Zealand where many public spaces are exposed to the elements day in and day out. Permafab is at the forefront of blending style with resilience, offering vandal-resistant and highly durable outdoor furniture that balances aesthetics with longevity. By combining concrete with timber and steel, Permafab integrates precision pre-fabrication techniques to create bespoke, sustainable designs. These techniques ensure that each component is built to exact specifications, minimising maintenance and installation disruption while enhancing public spaces with durable, long-lasting solutions.

Permaloo: Innovation in Public Infrastructure

Public facilities must be robust, hygienic, and easy to maintain. Permaloo specialises in modular, pre-fabricated public toilets that offer superior durability while allowing for incredibly flexible design. Councils and communities benefit from a streamlined construction process that mitigates risk, improves project efficiency, and maximises long-term value. Through precision-engineered pre-fabricated modules, Permaloo ensures that its public toilet facilities are not only durable but also easy to install and maintain. Our focus on whole-of-life costs guarantees that public investments stand strong for decades while reducing ongoing upkeep expenses.

Permacrete: Strength and Sustainability in Every Build

Concrete products must not only be tough but also sustainable. Permacrete is committed to manufacturing high-quality concrete components that meet and exceed industry standards. By leveraging innovative casting and curing methods in a controlled environment, Permacrete ensures superior strength and consistency in its concrete products like cattle stops and water tanks. By optimising our processes and using locally sourced materials, we create products that reduce waste, enhance efficiency, and offer cost savings for contractors and tradespeople.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Concrete Innovation

As technology advances, concrete fabrication will continue to evolve. At PermaGroup, we are exploring new methods, such as:

• Advanced reinforcement techniques that enhance strength without increasing weight.
• Digital modelling and prefabrication efficiencies to speed up construction while maintaining precision.
• Self-healing concrete technology to extend the lifespan of structures.
• Low Carbon Concrete
• 3D Printing 

By embracing these innovations, PermaGroup ensures our concrete solutions remain at the cutting edge, supporting communities, industries, and infrastructure projects across New Zealand.

Innovation in concrete fabrication is about more than just strength – it’s about efficiency and creating long-lasting solutions. Whether it’s secure storage, robust outdoor furniture, resilient public infrastructure, or industry-leading concrete products, PermaGroup is committed to pushing boundaries and setting new standards.
