We had a fantastic day co-hosting a lunch shout with Pacific Portable Buildings at the newly completed Site Village project for to support the sub-contractors working on Auckland Airport’s Domestic Jet Terminal project.

A huge 450 burgers were served up by .hivis catering — thanks to everyone who came along and made it such a great event!

This standout project features a 10m wide x 42m long SmartShelter mounted on double-stacked portable buildings, forming a fully equipped site village with offices, training rooms, a dedicated kitchen, lunch areas, and ablution facilities.

Designed with flexibility in mind, the Site Village will support the team throughout the project and can be easily relocated for future use.

For Waikato farmer Phil Empson, the “why” was simple: keeping his cows comfortable year-round. With three new SmartShelters on his Kihikihi property, Phil has transformed his 200ha farm into a state-of-the-art facility for his 600-cow herd and young stock.

✅ Cool in summer: Up to 10°C cooler inside, reducing heat stress and boosting milk production.
✅ Warm in winter: Compost bedding creates natural warmth while the tunnel design keeps airflow fresh.
✅ Designed for comfort: Wide clear spans, natural ventilation, four feed faces, and easy-to-clean concrete lanes.

Phil says it best: “What kick-started the whole project was animal welfare, and what I could do for my girls.”
A true showcase of how SmartShelters can future-proof farming.
