OUR SOLUTIONS

From complex hill builds to large commercial developments, we help across a wide range of sites.

Our work spans both commercial and residential contexts, from redevelopment of established sites through to new projects with complex ground or planning considerations.

We work alongside architects, developers and councils, providing technical advice that helps projects progress from concept through to design and construction.

Supporting education projects from the assessment of existing school buildings to the development of a new campuses.

Our education work is focused on creating safe, functional and future‑ready learning environments. By understanding the objectives of each project and how the environment will be used, we help project teams make informed decisions that support learning, minimise disruption to school life and result in facilities that continue to perform as needs change over time.

Supporting communities across the South Island as they respond and recover.

Our teams have long supported recovery and response work across the South Island. We’re used to moving quickly to be on the ground where we’re needed and staying closely involved to support response and recovery efforts as they progress. That might mean providing clear technical advice, carrying out on‑site assessments, using drones where it’s unsafe for people to access an area, or supporting teams as recovery moves beyond the immediate response.

We make retirement villages and healthcare facilities easier to plan, design and build.

Retirement village sites can include a wide mix of uses, from independent living through to care and hospital‑level facilities. These are often delivered over multiple stages, with healthcare forming part of the wider development.

Working alongside developers and operators, from large integrated sites through to staged developments, our teams use their technical expertise to support decisions as projects evolve.

We plan, design and support the infrastructure that keeps the South Island functioning.

Across the South Island, our teams are involved in the planning, design and delivery support of transport and three waters infrastructure. We work across varied environments and project scales, supporting everything from individual intersections to complex networks, with an approach that responds to regulatory requirements, site conditions and long‑term infrastructure needs.

Supporting clients to improve climate resilience by understanding and planning for risk through coordinated technical expertise.

We bring civil, structural and geotechnical engineering, surveying, planning and environmental science together to enable our clients to understand the types of risk that could affect land, infrastructure or communities over time, including climate‑related influences.

We guide you through every step of a subdivision of land development project.

From initial feasibility assessments through to final sign‑off and title issue, we manage each stage of the process to help subdivision and land development projects take shape.

Our team coordinates specialist consultants, leads council engagement and navigates complex approval processes, providing clear visual direction, proactive management and informed input as projects move through each stage.

Committed to helping New Zealand remain a world-class destination by delivering smart, practical solutions that connect people with place.

We understand the vital role tourism and recreation plays in shaping communities. With decades of experience delivering integrated engineering, surveying, planning and environmental solutions, we are uniquely positioned to support the growth and resilience of our infrastructure.

HOW WE HELP

Our solutions are shaped around the type of work you’re doing, your needs and the wider environment.

Some focus on setting direction, others on delivery, sector-specific needs, or longer-term outcomes. We bring planning, surveying, engineering and environmental expertise together in different ways, depending on what is needed and when.

Get in touch
01

BUILT ENVIRONMENT

Support for buildings and sites where design, performance and constructability matter, including commercial, residential, education and healthcare projects.

02

LAND & DEVELOPMENT

Support for land based projects where subdivision, servicing, access and staging shape outcomes, from small developments through to large, multi stage sites.

03

INFRASTRUCTURE & SERVICES

Support for infrastructure and networks that need to function reliably, including transport, three waters and community infrastructure, often within live environments.

04

PLACES OVER TIME

Support for work that looks beyond immediate delivery, including resilience planning, risk, recovery and preparing assets and places for future change.

Our solutions are led by experienced people. You’ll work directly with our directors and senior leaders, who stay involved and bring the right specialists together for the job.

FAQ

Got questions?
We’ve got answers.

Yes. We can deliver surveying, resource management planning and engineering (civil, geotechnical and structural), with environmental science support where required. Using one coordinated team helps streamline design, approvals and delivery, and reduces the time and risk that can come from managing multiple separate consultants.

In many cases, you’ll need all three. A subdivision commonly involves a planner to manage resource consent and council requirements, a surveyor for topographical and cadastral surveying, and an engineer for design of servicing, access and infrastructure (e.g., stormwater, wastewater and roading). The exact mix depends on the site, zoning and the scale of development.

Yes. Our planning team can help you navigate council processes, prepare consent documentation (including an Assessment of Environmental Effects (AEE)), and coordinate the technical inputs needed for an application such as surveying, civil design, geotechnical reporting and environmental assessments.

Start by contacting us with your site address, what you want to do (build, subdivide, upgrade infrastructure, or plan for future resilience), and any timeframes or constraints. We’ll confirm the likely approvals pathway and bring the right mix of planner, surveyor and engineer together for the next steps (e.g., feasibility, survey, concept design and consent strategy).
