Land development projects require careful planning, early risk identification, and strong coordination across disciplines. Our team supports land developers across New Zealand with practical, end-to-end engineering and advisory services that help unlock land safely, efficiently, and sustainably.
Working across residential, commercial, industrial, and mixed-use developments, we offer geotechnical, civil, and environmental engineering expertise to identify constraints early, reduce risk, and deliver solutions that support consenting, construction, and long-term asset performance.
Our Land development Services Include:
- Geotechnical due diligence for land transactions: clear documentation of ground conditions, hazards, and land suitability to support sales and purchase agreements (Geotechnical)
- Ground improvement and remediation strategies: practical solutions to address poor ground, stability, or liquefaction risk and enable development (Geotechnical)
- Feasible earthworks and subdivision servicing: layouts that optimise yield, staging, and constructability (Civil)
- Compliant three-waters solutions: stormwater management, detention/treatment, and flood pathways that meet council and environmental requirements (Civil)

What our clients say
Play Andy Nurse, Harcourts Rural, works with us to explore the full potential of his client’s land. Our geotechnical experts are helping to transform a former West Coast goldmine into a stunning lifestyle development, and highlighted a previously unexplored area as the potential second stages for the project.
“The teamwork, the communication, with going on to the properties and look at the specific things. It has been easy and progressive which means that the whole thing is advancing at a rate that we want it to. Success is one strong word that applies. I’ve certainly found Kirk Roberts as being very reliable.”
