Feasibility
During our initial phone conversations, by using the information freely available in the public domain, and our industry experience, we will briefly assess your property and plans and offer you our verbal suggestions.
We don’t charge for this assessment time.
Planning & Design
If your project looks possible, and you would like us to do so, we can meet you at your property and spend time getting to know you and finding out what you are hoping to achieve.
At this meeting we will give you a better understanding of your possible costs and ask you if you would like to get your project started.
Once we have a contract together, we will co-ordinate all the relevant specialists and trades and get started on your project. E.g. Surveyor, CCTV, Drainage Engineers, Geo-tech Engineer, and the Architect to name a few of the main ones… This can take about 1-3 mths. The time lines are very subject to what needs to be completed and who we need to involve in the process.
Contributions, Levies & Fees

Unfortunately, the subdivision process isn't complete without paying the council their Fees, Levies and Contributions. These come in various categories… such as:-
- Resource Consent Fees
- Watercare Infrastructure Growth Charges
- Council Development Contributions
- Inspection / Compliance Fees
They will issue them to us as the project progresses. The total cost of this will vary for each subdivision project as it will be based on how many new lots you create, what services you need from the council and what you ultimately do with your sites. We can provide you with a cost estimate once we have completed the preliminary consenting stages and have some plans to work from.
Civil Works
Using the plans & reports from your Consent process, we will gather quotes from all necessary contractors to carry out the civil work that the consent approval requires.
The civil works can include everything from new drains and manholes, to new driveways and the demolition of existing buildings on site.
Also, large scale excavation of sloping sites and / or the construction of retaining walls etc.
This can take as little as a few weeks or be a few months’ work.
The time lines are very subject to what needs to be completed and who we need to involve in the process.
Sign Off
When all of the necessary Planning Consenting and Civil works are complete, we can then apply for your new Compliance Certificates and present you with your newly created properties.
Obviously, there is a lot of work that we will do for you behind the scenes, but we try to keep things simple for you and involve you as much or as little as you want us to.
The expected time frame for your titles to come through after all the other stages have been completed is about 1-2 months. Whilst it is in the hands of the lawyers, the council and government departments, it's simply a waiting game…At about this point in time we are basically done.
Once you have paid all necessary Council Fees and Contributions, you are clear to sell them off or proceed with building any new homes or projects on your new Lots.
