“Absolutely awesome to work with. Gave great advice and such lovely staff . Would highly recommend”
“The team at Geoworks provided services with land surveying and consent processes that we required. This was done with very clear cost structures and timeframes. I would highly recommend the team at Geoworks – great work and good communication. Thanks”
“I am writing to express our thanks to the team at Geoworks for handling our subdivision. My wife and I had very little knowledge of what to do, except that we had the idea of subdividing. The service and guidance we received from the whole team at Geoworks was professional and kept us well informed. Geoworks was always able to answer our questions and the work was carried out with integrity, politeness and good humour. Would I recommend Geoworks to our friends ?? Yes, I certainly would and have already done so.”
“Very professional service, would recommend to anyone in wider Manawatu for surveying needs.”
“Recently, Geoworks helped me get consent for a rural subdivision. The requirements made this hard under the current legislation. The work done by the team was exceptional and very professional. Couldn’t recommend more for a high-quality service!”
“We used Geoworks for both our construction projects with Alexander Construction and my personal home.
Garry and the team were professional, accommodating of our time and requirements, and processed our on-site testing and project works efficiently.
I couldn’t think of a better team to use.”
“Were able to help us out at short notice and come up with practical solutions”

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the subdivision enquiry process work?
When you make an initial enquiry, we will investigate the site and the feasibility of what you have in mind. We can then schedule a meeting to discuss the finer points of the project. Once this is clear, we provide an estimate of our professional fees and the anticipated timeframe for the project, plus an indication of external fees that would be incurred (Council application fees, Development Contributions and LINZ fees).
How long does a subdivision take?
It can vary. A small, straightforward subdivision may be complete within 4-6 months, whereas a larger scale subdivision could take a year or more.
What does a subdivision cost?
This can vary greatly. Our fees vary based on the type of subdivision, underlying historical survey data for the local area, planning complexities and engineering requirements. There are also application fees and usually Development Contributions to be paid to Council, plus fees determined by LINZ and physical works.
When do I need to engage an engineer for my subdivision?
If your development requires engineering work such as earthworks, erosion/sediment control, stormwater or wastewater design, roading or right of way access, you will require an engineer. They will design, monitor and certify the construction in order to satisfy Council requirements. We have an in-house Certified Engineer who is able to handle this process.
