Our Site Audit Report, completed by our experienced Architectural Technicians, is a more in-depth analysis of your site, to better understand its suitability for development and possible options for your project.

This includes:

• Gaining an understanding of what sized house can fit on your site and the best position for the house.
• Understand your section limitations and considerations.
• Clarity on planning restrictions, drainage issues and easements.
• Understand what the next best step is to take to ensure your project’s success.

Included in your desk-top Site Audit Report:

• Visual indication of space available and suggested layout for a relocated house
• Review and report of your Council and District Plan rules and requirements
• Summary of potential Council fees for your project
• Rules regarding permission of relocated dwellings for your area
• Certificate of Title provided
• Site specific information for your land such as boundaries, setbacks, services, building platform, covenants, wind and earthquake zones and more
• Recommendations regarding specific reports and specialist services that we believe you will need to engage to ensure your project is a success.
• A 20-minute consultation with our Design Manager to answer any questions and talk through the recommendations and project opportunities.

Extra:

• If the site is found to be suitable, you also receive one free revision of your visual plan with one of our listings of interest (offer valid for 12 months from date of Site Audit Report completion).

A Site Audit Report will take up to 10 working days for delivery to you. It does not cater for contours or day-lighting requirements and these will require further investigation.
