TTGD Ecosociety Sarawak Malaysia

The TTGD Malaysia–Sarawak EcoSociety is a pioneering initiative focused on developing healthy, disaster-safe, regenerative eco-homes using an innovative modular construction system. Positioned within one of the world’s oldest and most biodiverse rainforests, the EcoSociety’s mission is to create harmonious human habitats that respect the land, protect indigenous cultures, and support long-term ecological balance. This addresses a critical issue identified in the uploaded project brief: deforestation and pollution caused by human activity, which are preventing nature’s ability to heal itself.

Early progress has demonstrated the team’s technical capability and innovative potential. Using desktop 3D printers, they have successfully produced master shapes for eco-home panels, refined these into full-size moulds, and replicated components for the first prototype structures. Their work includes geometrical architectural design, advanced visualisation, and the transformation of concepts into a repeatable, modular, scalable building system suitable for future mass production.

The next logical step is scaling to a large-format 3D printer, enabling the production of structurally robust components for full eco-home construction.

The Sarawak EcoSociety is now positioned to become a model site for the entire global TTGD Ecosystem, acting as the first operational pioneer of the TTGD housing paradigm. With surrounding land availability and strong cultural guardianship from local Indigenous groups (including the Iban, Bidayuh, Orang Ulu, Melanau, and Penan), the project has the potential to develop the first complete Eco-Hamlet — a cluster of 5–6 eco-homes — which can serve as a replicable template for expansion.

This Eco-Hamlet would demonstrate:

• Proof-of-concept for 3D-printed modular eco-housing
• Cost-efficient and disaster-resilient construction using local materials
• A regenerative, low-impact human settlement model
• A community-centred approach to land stewardship and post-disaster recovery
• A replicable blueprint for other Ecosocieties across continents

The broader strategy includes establishing community workshops and local fabrication spaces where Sarawak residents, indigenous youth, and local builders can learn to produce their own components, ensuring scalable community empowerment and continuity

Ultimately, this project’s long-term value lies not only in constructing eco-homes but in establishing Sarawak as the first operational “Eternal Spring” Ecosociety Hub, from which future TTGD housing clusters, land-recovery programmes, and regenerative economic models can grow.

• Order Efficiency Ltd – Provider of the PHC Service and overall governance methodology.
• Project Participants – Leadership team, project staff, vendors, and other stakeholders.

• Continuation Phase: A renewable 12-month operational period focused on scalability and localized implementation.

Timeline: 1 Week

Focus: Diagnostic review to confirm feasibility, define participant roles, and assess pilot readiness.

Activities:

• Conduct stakeholder briefings to introduce PHC methodology. Identify suitable host location(s) and participant recruitment strategy.
• Perform SCALPED-based analysis to review concerns, actions, stakeholder fit, and expected deliverables.
• Align with [project owner/sponsor] compliance requirements and ensure non-interference with UC eligibility.
• Produce a “Go / No-Go” advisory report, including:
• Risk map
• Participant role profiles
• Timeline for Setup Phase
• Baseline concerns register

Deliverables:

• PHC 7-Day Review Report (with SCALPED indicators)
• Draft stakeholder map and engagement plan
• Participant intake strategy
• Pilot budget confirmation aligned to Appendix 6 cost model
• A "Go / No-Go" advisory summary

Timeline: 2 Months

Focus: Onboarding and setup of PHC systems, consultant induction, and local engagement.

Activities:

• Finalise list of participants and assign Trainee roles.
• Deploy PHC Timechunk tracking system and assign access credentials.
• Conduct orientation and light training for participants (e.g. PHC Portal usage, activity recording).
• Define expected hour allocations (e.g. 33–36 hours/month).
• Appoint PHC Mentors and Consultant oversight team.
• Engage local host organisation for logistical and moral support.

Deliverables:

• Fully operational PHC dashboard for tracking
• Trainee onboarding complete, with assigned goals
• Risk mitigation plan (live)
• Public communication materials (optional)

Timeline: 3 Months (Renewable)

Focus: Real-time monitoring, adaptive support, and data gathering for public value evaluation.

Activities:

• Weekly tracking of Trainee time entries and issue logging
• Monthly reviews with Mentors and participating bodies
• Performance-based progression to Admin level (optional)
• Evaluation of participant satisfaction, skill acquisition, and system integrity
• Prepare summary reporting for funders, public bodies, or potential scale-up discussion

Deliverables:

• Regular Project Health Reports and Performance Reviews.
• Scalable team structure, with additional Consultants deployed as needed.
• Annual Stakeholder Review and Renewal Plan.

The Malaysia–Sarawak EcoSociety project is expected to deliver both immediate technical progress and long-term strategic value for the wider TTGD network. In the short term, the project will refine and scale the proven 3D-printed modular panel system into full-scale, structurally sound eco-home components. This will allow the construction of the first Eco-Hamlet consisting of 5–6 healthy, disaster-safe homes — establishing a visible, functional proof-of-concept for regenerative settlement design in a high-biodiversity region.

A key outcome is the creation of a fully documented and repeatable construction methodology using local materials and scalable digital fabrication processes. This includes the development of community workshops and fabrication spaces where local residents can learn to produce components themselves. By embedding these practices early, the project will enable long-term community capacity, local employment pathways, and a reduction in future construction costs.

Strategically, the Sarawak EcoSociety will become the first operational demonstration site for TTGD’s eco-housing model, generating learning and data that can be transferred to future Ecosocieties worldwide. The project will produce replicable templates, technical guidelines, governance insights and measurable impact evidence — creating a strong foundation for expansion wherever land is available and communities are ready to adopt resilient, nature-aligned living. Ultimately, this initiative sets the stage for a scalable, regenerative housing movement that can be adapted across continents.
