Resource Management Update

Are you buying a property or do you have a new project?

The RM team can assist with a pre purchase check, or in the early stages of pre concept they can provide advice and guidance on any potential resource management issues, including evaluation against the relevant planning documents, review of existing resource and building consents, advice on consultation, development levies and site constraints.

With the luxury of being a multi disciplinary practice we work closely with our engineering and architectural teams to provide an encompassing overview at the early stages of planning a new development, this gives you an upfront indication of what you may encounter and helps to minimise hold-ups along the way. if you want to find out more get in touch to arrange a no obligation consultation.
