Honest and upfront advice from day one

“Carey, Ben, and team came to our reforestation project to solve the nearly impossible problem of gaining complex consents across an Outstanding Natural Landscape. Their approach was and is open, honest, organized and thorough.

They listen, observe, and inquire, refining from that mass of information the diamond in the rough, the exact perspective and story that not only moves through Council with astounding ease but provides a framework and inspiration to those of us on the project itself.

Since 2012 they have completed multiple resource consents, amendments, and variations for our project, and they continue to facilitate us in a variety of interactions with Council, neighbours, and the community at large. In short, they are brilliant, tenacious, and reliable and we have yet to encounter easier people to work with. I don’t think they can walk on water, but I wouldn’t rule it out completely.”

'We have been working with Vivian & Espie for approx. 17 years and on a large variety of subdivision work across the Wakatipu basin.

Their expertise and knowledge in the district plan is extensive, and the strategies provided have proved very helpful in our projects to date. Given the changing nature of council policies and the increased bureaucratic hurdles to jump, Carey & the team are able to help navigate through the system, make the process is smooth as possible, and mitigate lengthy delays to the best of their ability.

The team constantly keep an eye on the changing environment and advise of potential rezoning that may have an effect on my property.

Their approachability and professionalism is to be commended, and I would not hesitate to recommend their services."
