Our people-centric design philosophy would not be complete without showcasing our outstanding, market leading Fee Schedule. Genuine design with genuinely affordable fees, plan and simple.
Step 1. Understanding the Unitary Plan
Step 1 of the development process, whether it be to renovate, subdivide, or produce your neighbourhood’s newest and most-soughtafter address, understanding what you can do with your property is the first step.
Planning Assessment Fees
$300*
*Price for 1 Unitary Plan Report and follow-up call to discuss any questions you may have, excludes the purchase and assessment of the property’s Certificate of Title and any noted Interests or Instruments. An assessment of the Certificate of Title and its Interests and Instruments is recommended to determine development opportunities (these can be obtained from your Property Lawyer, Realestate Agent, or from LINZ for their nominated fee). Price excludes GST.
Step 2. Bulk + Location / Massing Studies
Step 2 of the development process is to see how your ideas will fit on your site. We will prepare a site plan (aerial view) showing the relevent planning requirements to visually demonstrate any constraints or limitations in relation to your desired goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve hand drawn my own floor plan, will you work with that?
Absolutely! We LOVE it when clients have a sound idea of what they want to achieve! We will draw up your plan and apply Council Zoning and Building Code Requirements to ensure your ideas can be constructed. If you don’t have a floor plan, photo’s and other images are also very helpful.
Will you come to me?
Of course! We will need complete a site visit to determine your property’s special features. Once the Concept Plans are underway, we can present these to you in person to discuss any queries as it is often easier to chat around a set of plans. If you prefer to keep discussions online due to lifestyle and work hours, that is cool too.
I already have a drafter/planner/builder/other consultant, is that an issue?
Nope! Creating new developments is collaborative and the best solution is often found by working with others.
What other costs might I need to prepare for?

Attached housing will require an Acoustic Report and a Fire Report at their nominated fee to ensure compliance to the Building Code. We can provide a comprehensive list of consultants if required.
