What we do

Surveying

Topographical

Gathering reliable and accurate data is critical to the success of every land development project. With the latest GPS and computer technology we can prepare plans showing site features clearly or send the data directly to architects and other consultants for their immediate use.

Lease

Defining rentable areas is judiciously regulated by the Property Council New Zealand. We have had extensive experience preparing lease plans for the former Dressmart, Coastlands and Todd Park. We understand that getting the area right is important for both Landlord and Tenant and offer a quality cost effective service.

Set out

Knowing where to build everything is as important as knowing what’s being built. Our surveyors use the latest integrated technology to ensure that everything is shown where it should be. Feel free to contact us at the last minute, you won’t be disappointed.

Cadastral (legal)

Defining boundaries is what surveyors live for and we are no exception. Whether its fee simple subdivision, unit titling or registering an easement or covenant, we have the experience to get the necessary plans approved by Land Information New Zealand for your solicitor to action them promptly.

Boundary Redefinition

The fence is not always the boundary. We can show you exactly where your property boundary is if you are building close to it or need to prove where it is. Feel free to call us at the last minute, you won’t be disappointed.

Crosslease update

Defective crosslease title? No problem for our team. We can advise on you on all the options and issues and get it rectified promptly and efficiently. Contact us to discuss your situation.

Subdivision

There’s more to subdividing than you might think. Coordinating planners, surveyors and engineers (not to mention other consultants and the council) can be very tricky. Thankfully, we make it easy with experience in a range of best practice approaches to development throughout the Lower North Island. Check out our Subdivision Flowchart to see what the process involves.

Planning

Resource consents

The Resource Management Act can be a minefield. We understand this and have developed good working relationships with those administering it to reduce the risks involved. From developing the scope of a proposal to assessing its effects and consulting those affected, we have the skills and experience necessary to guide an application as smoothly as possible through the statutory process. No project is too big or small so contact us to discuss your plans.

Feasibility and due diligence

Never miss an opportunity. We understand the local regulatory, economic and social environment that affects the viability of potential land development projects. Our team is adept at analysing a variety of factors influencing development potential and can provide detailed options assessments as well as cost estimates. Contact us for a no obligation chat about your next potential project.

Plan changes

Sometimes the District Plan is not right. Or at least someone thinks it isn’t! We can help either by preparing and lodging an application to change the District Plan or by helping you make a submission on a proposed change. The plan change process is both complicated and time consuming with many formal processes and requirements. There are usually a lot of options to consider depending on your situation so please don’t hesitate to contact us for advice.

Asset management

An old saying goes that a property “is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it”. If that’s true, then presenting it in the best possible light is very important! We can provide advice and recommendations on managing and marketing your land in a way that presents its true value. A myriad of planning, infrastructure, geotechnical and stormwater related constraints can affect a site in a variety of ways. Understanding how to deal with these is the key to minimising risk and maximising value.

Engineering

Infrastructure design

Creating neighbourhoods is our passion and designing them is the first step. Our team has the knowledge and skills to produce designs that meet necessary council standards but constantly go above and beyond. We are committed to designing infrastructure that is both fit for purpose and value for money. Check out some of our great projects for inspiration.

Construction management

Building great places is a team effort. We can project manage the construction process to ensure that contractors build your vision. Contract management can be tricky but with our expert knowledge we can provide reliable and accurate advice throughout. Check out some of our projects to see what we’ve built.
