Protect the tree. Keep the project moving.

Council-ready documentation and on-site supervision for boutique builders, developers and property investors.

Development & planning services

When a protected tree sits inside a build site, the paperwork and the site practice both have to be right. We handle both.

This workstream is the consulting-arborist role on a development — from the first due-diligence inspection through the planning report, the permit application, and the project arborist on site. It is how boutique builders, developers and investors keep a protected tree and a viable program in the same conversation.

A missing DIA, an ignored TPZ, or unsupervised excavation is how permits stall, sites become unbuildable as drawn, and stop-work notices appear. We write council-ready documents and then supervise the conditions those documents create, so the file and the site match.
