Subdivision

As landscape architects we will lead a specialist team to help you through all aspects of the subdivision process. As landscape architects, and architects, we have the design training to best locate and position building platforms on your site while understanding the implications that this may have on the design of future buildings.  

We are able to provide the following:

• Design expertise and creative solutions to your subdivision
• Site analysis in terms of hydrology, aspect, existing planting, and existing artefacts.
• Analysis of your property in terms potential of yield/density – the potential number of lots.
• Recommend practicable building platform positions
• Discuss orientation, platform sizes, access, and implications this may have on building form and construction
• Recommend the division of land and the layout of Lots.
• Design preliminary roading layouts (subject to engineering)
• Consider site strategies for wastewater and stormwater disposal
• Lead the project design team of consultants planners, archaeologists, surveyors and engineers

• Design soft and hard landscape features in the subdivision
• This includes entranceways, gates, roading, recycle areas, recreational trails, stands of trees,amenity and mitigation planting, native revegetation.
• Provide planting plans; plant schedules; and landscape maintenance programmes.
• Consider catchment management, site ecology and sustainability issues

• Provide detailed reporting and documentation for resource consent
