“In 2008, we were completely new to world of planning, but knew we needed resource consent to build on our section. We approached several consultancies, and chose to work Planz because they had great contacts with the local council and knew the district plan inside out, plus they were very competitively priced. We got a great result, and we've been back to use them several times over the years.”
