Thinking of selling or buying a residential property?

Flood hazard mapping is becoming a part of due diligence in Auckland.

Where a site is identified within a mapped area, it often requires further clarification before a transaction can progress with confidence.

In practice, this can introduce additional time into the process while the level of risk is properly understood.

As a result, more flood risk assessments are being done before listing, so the right information is on hand if questions come up and buyers aren’t put off unnecessarily.

Ever feel like council plans are written in a different language? 📝

We’ve simplified the some of the most common infrastructure and services terms so you can understand exactly what they mean for your property.

We recently got the team together for a pizza night. Dietrich ran the pizza oven, and as you can see, he definitely delivered. 🍕

It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day of projects, deadlines and sites, so it was nice to slow down, have a laugh, and spend time together outside of work with our partners and children included.

Good people, good food, and a good reminder of what makes a strong team.

Treating Mother’s Day like a once-a-year site visit doesn't quite capture the scale of the job. To the mums who manage the daily 'inspections' and keep everything running smoothly 365 days a year: we see you. Wishing you a wonderful day from the team at Tripp Andrews.

Happy Mother’s Day 💐✨

There’s a lot that goes into getting a project from concept to consent and eventually through to completion.

Good communication, clear advice, and having the right team around you makes a big difference.

We appreciate the feedback from Brett Christie and the team at David Reid Homes. We’ve worked alongside them across a number of developments over the years, helping navigate the planning, surveying, and compliance side of the process.

If you're thinking about your next development project, we’d love to chat.

Not every project is straightforward.

This Sandringham site sat within a Special Character Area and flood hazard zone, meaning design, planning, and compliance all had to align from the start.

Working alongside Ben Connor from , we delivered the survey, flood assessment, and planning support, managing the consent through to approval while ensuring the design respected the character of the area.

A good outcome comes down to getting the fundamentals right early.

Working with a complex site? We'd love to chat.

Today we pause to remember the courage and sacrifice of those who served.

Our own story is part of that history. Thomas Tripp Andrews, our founder, served in WWI on the Western Front before returning home to continue his career in surveying.

We honour his service, and that of all who came before us.

Lest we forget.

5 things that catch clients off guard, until you’ve been through it.

1. The "Minor" Request: That a "minor" design tweak from a Council urban designer can cost six weeks and five figures in redesign fees.
2. The Power of the Pole: That moving a single power pole can cost more than a luxury European SUV.
3. The RMA Riddle: That the rules can change while your application is sitting on someone's desk (looking at you, Plan Change 120).
4. The Phantom Pipe: That the public sewer line shown on the Council maps often doesn't actually exist where the map says it does.
5. The Title Limbo: That even after the house is built and the keys are in the door, it can take another three months to get the legal title.

If you’re starting a project and want clarity from the beginning, get in touch.

A couple of completion shots from a recent project with Ashton Residential.

From early planning and surveying through to engineering and final titles, our team worked across the full process to help bring this development to life.

Titles were issued in January, a great milestone and always satisfying to see homes ready for their new owners.
