NLP Projects Limited is a niche land development company established in 2016 to fulfil the market gap for affordable services to people with little or no understanding of the consenting process which can be overwhelming, and costly with big fees from large consultancies who often speak a different professional language that makes little to no sense for first time developers especially.
Contrastingly, NLP Projects is a small Kiwi business, New Zealand owned whose director has exceptional understanding as an experienced developer and qualified planning professional to understand 100% the needs from a client’s perspective. The company prevails strong emphasis on the sense of responsibility for every client and project to be delivered with success and satisfaction. Every job is given quality attention with personalised services to ensure that projects are delivered to exact details.
Our team is made up of highly skilled specialists, with experience from Council and the private sector as developers first hand to understand perfectly what is required from start to finish, whether the intentions be for consent approval, project management or simply a feasibility concept plan study. NLP Projects can help with most if not all land development related request, or have the work organised for you however you prefer to take out the unnecessary stress and hassle out of your project.
