Graham Surveying was the lead land development consultant for a 24-lot fee simple residential project in Burwood, located adjacent to Prestons Park. 

Land Planning 

We successfully obtained subdivision and land use (earthwork) consents from Christchurch City Council for the development of 24 residential lots alongside obtaining regional consents from Environment Canterbury for the realignment and enhancement of Snellings Drain that now forms part of the recreation reserves within the development. 

Civil Design 

Our civil designers were responsible for the 3D design of the earthworks, roading, stormwater network and treatment and detention basins, wastewater and water supply services as well as coordinating the landscape, electrical and fibre connections with specialist sub-consultants and the obtaining of Engineering Approval from CCC Subdivision Engineers. 

Civil Works Supervision and Contract Management 

Our civil team prepared the contract documents and schedule of prices and coordinated the civil tender process with invited tenderers. 

We provided civil supervision and contract management services during the construction of the development with our work involving regular site inspections with the contractor and Council Engineer to monitor compliance with CCC standards and ensure streamlined delivery of the works and the processing of monthly claims.

Our survey team has been heavily involved in the design and construction phases of the development including the completion of: 

• Topographical surveys and delivery of 3D surface for civil design. 

• Monthly UAV survey and processing of point cloud to assist with earthwork volumes.  

• Provision of monthly UAV aerial and oblique photo updates to project team. 

• Completion of land transfer surveys and coordination with solicitor on LINZ documentation.
