Wherever you're starting, our process adapts to fit your needs. While we follow a preferred project sequence for a seamless experience, we're equally happy to assist at any stage of your project journey.

Strategy

Understanding Your Vision & Project Scope

We start by understanding your project goals through early consultations, then tailor a design and consenting strategy to suit. Where appropriate, we recommend a due diligence period that may include site surveys, title reviews, and identification of known site hazards. By assessing potential challenges and resource needs early, we set your project up for success from the outset.

Design

Creating Detailed Plans & Specifications

With project parameters defined, concept design gets underway. We explore a range of options that respond to your site, budget, and goals. Our in-house specialists collaborate to refine the design, review feasibility, balance time and cost, and prepare documentation for Resource Consent if needed. The detailed design phase finalises materials, compliance, and specifications so the project can be accurately costed and lodged for consent.

Consent

Securing Necessary Approvals & Compliance

Navigating council requirements and legal standards, we manage the consent process to secure all necessary approvals. Our team prepares and submits documentation for resource consents, building consents, and other compliance needs. With our experience, we streamline this complex stage, reducing the risk of delays.

Construction

Bringing Plans to Life With Quality & Precision

Throughout construction, we monitor works at key stages to confirm alignment with approved designs and consented documents. We carry out site inspections, address contractor queries, and resolve on-site challenges. Our team supports quality assurance, manages documentation reviews, and assists with close-out, as-built plans, and final certification—delivering a project that reflects the design intent and regulatory standards.
