Cheal - Engineers | Surveyors | Planners Our daily work includes obtaining land use consents for rural and urban land, commercial and industrial land use activities. This is often followed by either fee simple or unit title subdivision of land and buildings whether they be houses, duplexes, apartments or larger commercial or industrial structures. Where a building plan infringes a district plan rule, the project will require land use consent in addition to a building consent. If a Land Use Consent is required, the Building Consent may still be approved. However, pursuant to Section 37 of the Building Act 2004, the Building Consent will not be issued until the appropriate Land Use Resource Consent is obtained. This can significantly impact your building time and budget. The team at Cheal are all about strategy and resolving problems. For example, when a combined land use and subdivision consent is granted, Council will generally issue the two consents separately with conditions allowing the building to commence in compliance with the land
Use Consent without the need to start or complete the subdivision consent. Cheal’s experienced professionals will add value to your project by navigating statutory processes, developing strategies to resolve issues, co-ordinate and managing other technical experts while providing sound and reliable planning, surveying, geotechnical and civil engineering advice.
In support of your building or construction project: • Our planners can review and advise on architectural and construction plans to ensure compliance with district and regional plan rules, prepare land use and subdivision resource consent applications and liaise with councils while assisting with any issues that may arise • Our surveyors can undertake topographical surveys, building and construction set outs. Height in relation boundary surveys. Finished floor level identification and certifications to avoid unexpected non-compliances leading to costly and time-consuming variations to approved resource consents. • Our Civil Engineers design roading, stormwater, wastewater and water management systems. Undertake flood analysis, provide engineering plans, reports, professional statements and opinions. Our engineers also
undertake construction monitoring to make sure works are constructed to the required standard for the necessary certification to be provided, ensuring contractors comply with construction and contractual obligations.
