Scope & Feasibility
Is your site suitable?
Whether you’re building new or purchasing a site, expanding your investment portfolio or subdividing, you need to know it’s going to work. We provide detailed feasibility solutions to determine the viability of your project and the likelihood of gaining the necessary consents.
New Site Feasibility
For new sites, we undertake a feasibility assessment to review whether it’s suitable and what any likely consenting issues would be. We can also identify any other specialist input that would be required to support an application, such as a surveyor, engineer, arborist, acoustic consultant, ecologist, etc.
As part of this service, we can have draft plans prepared showing the mass and location of future buildings, accessways and other site features. This allows you to identify key development matters very early on and gives you the confidence to make informed decisions about the purchase of the site i.e. does it stack up?
Existing Site Feasibility
If you already own a site, we’ll help you understand its development potential and how to unlock it. Our team is experienced in assessing sites and can advise on appropriate land use activities such as residential dwellings, workers’ accommodation, community services, commercial, industrial and more. We’ll also identify potential site constraints, bulk and location controls, relevant policies and anticipated zone outcomes so you know exactly what’s possible before digging in.
Work with us at any stage. But make it smoother by getting us in from start to finish.

Hear from those who’ve worked with us
We engaged Paul at Establish Planning to help gain resource consent for a small subdivision. The application was submitted after working with our architect and engineer and progressed so smoothly that the council issued a substantial refund. I couldn’t have asked for a better result.
