Testimonials

"Our architect recommended we engage Nicole Bremner at Planorama for our house renovation project on Waiheke Island. And what fantastic advice it was! A reasonably large residential project, Nicole’s knowledge of Waiheke, Council & Unitary Plan requirements was invaluable in helping us through the resource consent process. Her management of the process, engagement and follow-up with the various parties including Council, Auckland Transport, our architect, wastewater/stormwater/geotech engineers and landscape architect was excellent. In summary a very professional, high quality, cost effective service!"

"Nicole coordinated the resource consent for putting a transportable home on our bush residential site which turned out to be quite a bit more complicated that originally expected. As complete amateurs, we found Nicole to be knowledgeable, calm and professional, guiding us through the process and providing clarity in the confusion.She was always quick to respond and also fantastic at chasing things up and trying to keep things moving along. She was an integral part of our team and someone we could completely rely on."

"Nicole Bremner helped my friend and I navigate the often frustrating waters of the Auckland Council building application process. She was undyingly calm and patient when I was not. Nicole offered solutions to help us achieve consent to build two houses on the same property on Waiheke Island. We could not have done this by ourselves. I highly recommend having an ace planner to help you get your build off the ground."

" Dear Nicole,

 Thank you so much for all the hard work and thoughtful consideration you have given our project to date.  It is so exciting to know that you have lodged the appropriate consents to take us to the next phase.

 This next sentence is the understatement of the year: We would not have gotten here without you.  Your expertise, patience and insight into planning and council matters is awe inspiring.  In addition to this, you have the loveliest disposition and most calming influence.  Most importantly to me, you never wavered or lost hope for what we could accomplish for our humble section at 47 Ridge Road.  Getting to even this point seemed far-fetched at several points over the last few months, however you held firm to what was possible.

 We're in a good position (I think and from what I understood from our Council pre-application meetings) because you have removed obstacles and managed all the key stakeholders beautifully.  

 Thanks too goes to your fantastic team.  I'm certain many hands have played a part in our project.  Thank you @Delfina and @Mackenzie 

 I hope you and your families all have a restful and restorative Christmas.  No doubt we'll carry on fighting the good fight in 2024 ."

" Our experience in working alongside Mackenzie at Planorama has been a very positive one.  Mackenzie communicated with us promptly and clearly at all times – this was verbally and her written communication also.  Mackenzie was extremely professional, approachable and kept us fully informed at all stages of the planning process and gave clear instructions around what was required of us to advance our application.  Would be happy to work with Mackenzie again in the future."

— Chris Keenan and Kate Hunter

" Thanks Delfina, and a special thank you to you Nicole,
