John Cochran
Principal Surveyor
Based in: Christchurch
John is enthusiastic and highly knowledgeable in all aspects of surveying, with a strong focus on delivering the best outcome for his clients.
John is a Licensed Surveyor whose work spans a range of land development and construction projects across the South Island - from early planning and survey definition, through to title issue.
His experience includes rural and urban surveying, greenfield developments, rentable area surveys, construction surveying and project management. He's worked on commercial and residential developments, healthcare projects and large-scale subdivisions, often in roles that extend beyond survey work and involve coordination across wider project teams and stakeholders.
John also supports specialist land development projects that require engagement with planning decisions, resource consent applications and civil engineering design for neighbourhoods, and has experience liaising with councils and solicitors on land transfer matters.
John has been a member of the Canterbury Board of Survey + Spatial New Zealand since 2013 and has served as Chair since 2024.
