At Buckton Surveyors and Planners, land development isn’t just something we do. It’s our specialty. With an experienced team by your side, the often complex process of subdivision design, council approvals, and project delivery becomes clear, manageable, and efficient.

​

Our strength lies in the depth of our expertise and the breadth of our network. The Buckton team includes skilled surveyors, planners, engineers, and ecologists, all working closely together to ensure a collaborative and comprehensive approach to every project. Beyond this, we work with trusted local consultants and agencies, meaning we can take on developments of any scale or complexity with confidence.​ From feasibility analysis to planning approvals, we’re here to support informed decisions and smooth progress at every stage.

​

No two projects are the same, and that’s exactly why we take the time to sit down with you and understand your goals, your site, and the unique challenges you may face. By combining our decades of experience, and by keeping abreast of continually evolving rules and regulations, we develop solutions that maximise the potential of your land. Our focus is always on delivering results that align with your vision while ensuring a practical and compliant outcome.

Solutions we offer:

​Site analysis: After meeting with you to discuss your project vision and goals, we look at your site's opportunities and constraints through detailed desktop evaluations. We review zoning, access, and ecological factors to help you understand what's achievable before you progress with your project. 

Development potential and planning advice: Our planners will evaluate your site's development potential, outlining relevant district plan rules and resource consent requirements. We will identify ways to maximise yield, whilst ensuring compliance with local planning regulations. 

Project cost estimates and timeframes: We provide accurate cost estimates and realistic timeframes for your project. This allows you to budget effectively and plan your project with more confidence. 

Property ownership and rights assessment: Before development begins, we assess property ownership, boundaries, easements, and covenants to identify potential risks. Our reporting will provide you with solid legal and technical  footing. 

Project management and coordination: Our team manages all aspects of the land development process, coordinating our surveyors, planners, engineers, and ecologists at every step, and keeping your project on track and moving efficiently.
