With over 50 years of experience in land enablement across New Zealand, Woods brings a depth of knowledge that goes way beyond technical expertise. We understand the commercial realities our clients face because we’ve been alongside developers for decades — balancing vision with viability. Our team is known for delivering inspired, practical solutions that unlock the full potential of your land while keeping your commercial objectives front and centre.
With ownership shared among a quarter of our 250-strong team, we’re personally invested in your success. Being an employee-owned company means we bring care, commitment and accountability to your project.
Whether your site is 170ha or 1700m2, when we work together the process will generally move through five phases.
We’ll meet with you, survey your site, and prepare a visual plan that depicts the layout of your new development.
We’ll prepare a resource consent application and any additional reporting required, and act on your behalf to secure council approval.
We put out tenders to contractors for the works and then oversee construction on your site.
Once construction is complete, we’ll prepare and lodge the legal documentation required for the issue of new titles.
We organise the data that’s collected and created during the land development process for you, so that they can be used to make better, more profitable decisions into the future.
