Property & Freshwater Management Consultants in Wellington, New Zealand

I used Derive Consulting Group for both of my resource consents for a new property. First for the RC that supported building consent, and then again for the subdivision. After the first experience, going back to them was a no-brainer. Charlie and the team were awesome to deal with. Charlie is genuinely funny, super switched on, and really good at explaining complicated planning stuff in plain English. As a first-time RC applicant, that made a huge difference. They came in on budget, their communication was great the whole way through, and they handled the council process calmly and professionally. I would 100% recommend Derive to anyone who needs help navigating resource consents.

I have been a Property Developer for over 33 years and started to use Derive in the last few years by a referral from one of his existing clients. I have found Charlie and his team very professional, and the communication at a level I have not experienced previously. In relation to reporting on how we are tracking against budgeted cost is refreshing in this industry to allow me to stay on track of my financials and reporting. I'd recommend Derive as a Planner to anyone who is looking to undertake any type of project in the Wellington, Hutt Valley, or Kapiti region.

Navigating local and regional council development frameworks is complex in nature, with many opportunities to get it wrong that cost you time and money. Charlie's pragmatic approach ensures requirements and challenges are understood and solved upfront, so you can execute your development plan in the most efficient and painless way possible. I have used the team at Derive to deliver a number of developments, and now see them as our trusted partners in bringing beautiful homes to the market.
