Unlock the Potential of Your Land

Feasibility Study

Every project begins with a Feasibility Study. This is a full investigation of what your land can realistically achieve and what financial outcome your family can expect. It is designed to remove uncertainty, highlight risks, and provide a clear pathway forward.

By the end of the study, you understand the value of the opportunity, the costs and timeline, and the financial structure that will protect your wealth.

The Feasibility Study is the foundation of our work. It is the key decision point before anyone commits to a subdivision.

What is in a LWC Feasibility Study?

  • Contact council staff for informal guidance where appropriate

    Review relevant zoning rules and overlays

    Identify planning restrictions and opportunities

    Assess what scale of subdivision is possible under current regulations

  • Speaking with planners, surveyors, engineers, earthworks contractors and real estate agents

    Gathering expert input at the earliest stage to identify red flags

    Obtaining free or low-cost guidance to help avoid unnecessary expenses later

  • Review of the land layout, slopes, access, and potential building platforms

    Assessment of how a right of way or access road would be positioned

    Identification of any visible risks such as drainage challenges or stormwater issues

  • Preliminary estimates for road construction, drainage, power, water, surveying, earthworks, and consent fees

    Realistic allowances based on local contractor pricing

    Clear breakdown of expected costs, contingencies, and likely overruns to prepare for

  • Analysis of comparable local sales

    Estimated section values based on size, access, sun, and location

    Conservative and optimistic scenarios for final sales revenue

  • Assessment of the client’s current ownership structure

    Guidance on trust-based ownership and asset protection

    Recommendations on GST risk, tax obligations, and safe structuring

    Strategies to minimise tax exposure and reduce the risk of unexpected liabilities

  • Expected length of each stage of the subdivision

    Key milestones

    Identification of risk points that may cause delays

    Clear flow from resource consent to construction to title issuance

  • Identification of regulatory risks

    Identification of construction and financial risks

    Discussion of the likelihood of each risk and potential mitigation steps

  • Outline of project management fees if LWC is engaged

    Outline of success/cost fee model

    Explanation of what reporting and oversight looks like

  • All findings are delivered in a clear, structured presentation.

    This is designed for family decision making.

    We explain:

    The opportunity

    The risks

This process works because it combines careful planning with disciplined execution. First we build a clear roadmap so your family understands the value, the risks, and the timeline. Then we manage the project with professional oversight, transparent communication, and trusted experts. The result is a development that stays organised, predictable, and aligned with your family’s goals from the first conversation to the final sale.
