About.

At Double Cone, we bring extensive experience in Project and Development Management, Civil Engineering Design, and Asset Management across the South Island.

Our team has delivered a wide range of projects — from resort developments and rural subdivisions to commercial builds and urban communities — always applying proven knowledge, clear communication, and practical solutions that get results.

Whether it’s a straightforward two-lot subdivision or a complex master-planned community, we understand every stage of the development process. From site acquisition and planning approvals to design management, construction, and long-term asset care, we provide the expertise and guidance to ensure your project succeeds.

Services.

  • We guide your project from concept to completion, starting with selecting the right consultants to meet your specific needs. We appoint and manage these consultants through concept development and delivery. If finance is required, we can assist in arranging it as part of the process. Alongside the delivery team, we also coordinate your sales strategy and project marketing.

  • Our qualified civil engineers design practical, buildable infrastructure for roads, water supply, wastewater, and stormwater networks — delivering efficient, cost-effective solutions that are ready for construction.

  • Whether you’re starting from scratch or reviewing existing plans, we assess Civil designs and budgets to identify cost efficiencies and smarter delivery options — helping you achieve the best outcome without compromising on quality.

  • Once resource consent is secured, we manage the delivery phase — from tendering and contractor selection through to completion.
    Through regular reporting, we keep you informed with clear updates against budget and timeline, so you always know exactly where your project stands.

  • We help maximise the value and performance of your property assets across the commercial, residential, and accommodation sectors.
    Our services include operational oversight, repositioning strategies, lease negotiations, and long-term asset planning.

At Double Cone, we provide tailored development, civil engineering, project, and asset management solutions for subdivision and property projects. From early feasibility through delivery and long-term performance, we focus on practical, efficient, and commercially sound outcomes across both residential and commercial developments.
