Testimonials
Elliot
“Thanks for sorting out the consent, we have received notification of it being granted. Appreciate your time and assistance processing. Always refreshing to have a processor we can communicate with & in a logical fashion.”
Chris
"With the current industry being under pressure it was reassuring when during the processing part of the Building Consent we had constant communication from Steve Higgins which allowed the RFIs to be rectified by my Architect. I found Steve to be professional in dealing with both myself and my architect and helpful in regards to what’s needed within the RFIs to allow our plans to be Consented within 20 working days."
Jade
"Just wanted to send this email to you to reiterate what I said on the phone… I deal with a lot of different councils with having relocatable buildings that we deliver all over New Zealand and would have to say you are one of the best processors I have dealt with. I appreciate that you answer the phone and are happy to discuss any questions… Past processors I have dealt with a difficult to get hold of, don’t consider different factors in regards to these types of builds and speak to me like I am stupid."
Ian
“I found him to be very professional, knowledgeable, practicable and very willing to help out. These attributes helped make the whole process bump free and reduce the time taken process and grant consent.”
