Master Planners

Featuring the best master planners in New Zealand

Master planners are highly sought-after experts in New Zealand. Good master planning companies are knowledgeable about the city or town they work in. They also need a deep understanding of the construction industry and should have good communication skills to talk to the different professionals involved in a project easily. ArchiPro carefully selects only the best master planners in New Zealand to assist you on your next construction project.

Types of services that a master planner provides

Master planners provide a range of services that could prove valuable to anyone planning a construction project in New Zealand. Some of the services provided by these experts include the following:

District planning

These experts are involved in district planning alongside town planners, creating strategies for improving these districts, either by adding infrastructure such as roads or by adding public spaces such as community centres and parks.

Land use planning

These experts are responsible for conducting research and zoning land for residential, commercial, or industrial use.

Transportation planning

These experts are also able to evaluate and conduct research on current infrastructure related to transportation and provide recommendations such as adding roads, changing roads, adding subways, bus lanes, trams, etc.

Monitoring environmental concerns

These experts are also responsible for monitoring environmental concerns, such as conducting research to see how a specific building will impact a certain area and community and ensuring that construction doesn’t occur in environmentally protected or sensitive areas.

Budgeting

These professionals are also responsible for setting budgets for future projects by liaising with other experts in construction, such as architects, engineers, and consultants.

The advantages of hiring a skilled master planner

Master planners have intimate knowledge of a city and its different communities. They’ll be able to advise clients on the best areas for their specific projects in New Zealand based on their needs. For example, if you plan on building commercial offices, a master planning company can tell you where this type of project will go well. Having the knowledge of a master planner architect on your side will ensure that your project is constructed in the perfect location and that all other zoning and city planning regulations are met.

Once you’ve narrowed down your search, arrange a meeting with the top candidates to discuss the project and see if they’re a fit for your team.
