HOUSING AND DEVELOPMENT

Align’s extensive experience includes successfully managing and undertaking the consenting aspects of major housing development projects. Whether it’s a two- or 200-lot subdivision, apartments, terraced housing, stand-alone, or minor dwellings, no project is too big or small for Align’s housing development specialists.

We work with our network of civil, hydrology, and survey specialists, architects, ecologists, geotechnical engineers, and contaminated land, noise, heritage, and archaeology specialists to help you achieve your development goals.

We keep up to date with legislation changes and work on behalf of councils. This knowledge, combined with our experience in delivering housing projects, enables us to help you to achieve optimum outcomes from your development.
