Site Development in Auckland
Blake Civil Construction delivers full site development across Auckland for residential builds, commercial projects, and multi-lot subdivisions. When your land needs transforming from raw ground into a serviced, consented, build-ready site — our crew manages every stage from initial earthworks through to finished surfaces and council sign-off.
What is Site Development in Auckland?
Site development is the complete process of converting undeveloped land into a platform ready for construction. It covers everything that happens between purchasing a piece of ground and having a builder turn up to start work — bulk earthworks to shape the land, drainage and stormwater systems to manage water, underground utility connections for water supply, wastewater, power, and telecommunications, access road formation, building platform preparation, and finished surfaces. In Auckland, site development also means navigating resource consent conditions, earthworks consent requirements, and engineering plan approvals through Auckland Council. We manage the full scope so your site is compliant, serviced, and physically ready to build on.
- Bulk earthworks, cut and fill, and building platform formation
- Stormwater and drainage system installation to Auckland Council standards
- Underground utility connections — water, wastewater, power, and telecom
- Access road and driveway construction including kerb and channel
- Resource consent and earthworks consent compliance management
- Sediment and erosion control under GD05 throughout all site works Delivering site development for Auckland projects from our Coatesville base.
Developers, builders, and landowners from Silverdale to Kumeu rely on Blake Civil Construction for site development that delivers build-ready ground on programme and within consent conditions.
When You Need Us
When You Need Site Development in Auckland in Auckland
Raw Section Needs Developing for a New Build
You have purchased a bare section and need the land shaped, drained, and serviced before your builder can start. We handle the full site development — earthworks, drainage, utility connections, and a formed driveway — so the section is ready for foundation work.
Subdivision Site Development
Your subdivision consent has been granted and the land needs developing from farmland into individual serviced lots. We manage bulk earthworks, roading, stormwater infrastructure, utility reticulation, and lot preparation through to s224 completion.
Commercial Site Needs Build-Ready Platform
A commercial or industrial building project requires a level, serviced platform on land that currently has no infrastructure. We carry out earthworks, install underground services, form access, and prepare the site to engineering specifications.
Greenfield Development in North Auckland
Undeveloped land in Auckland's northern growth corridor needs converting into a residential development. We take the site from raw pasture through to serviced lots with roading, drainage, water, wastewater, and power — ready for house construction.
Rural Lifestyle Block Development
Your rural block needs a building platform, a formed driveway from the road, drainage, and connections to water and power. We develop rural sections with proper access, on-site wastewater solutions, and stormwater management suited to rural conditions.
Brownfield Site Redevelopment
An existing developed site needs stripping back and redeveloping for a new use. We demolish or remove existing structures, remediate the ground if needed, regrade the site, and install new services and access for the replacement development.
Multi-Stage Development Site Works
A large development site is being built in stages over several years. We programme the site development works to deliver each stage on time while maintaining access, services, and consent compliance across the wider site.
Steep or Difficult Land Requiring Development
Your site sits on steep ground, heavy clay, or challenging terrain that needs significant engineering to become buildable. We carry out the earthworks, retaining structures, drainage, and access formation needed to turn difficult land into a usable building platform.
Our Process
Our Site Development in Auckland Process
Blake Civil Construction follows a systematic approach for every site development in auckland project.
Site Assessment and Consent Review
We review the engineering plans, geotechnical reports, resource consent conditions, and earthworks consent requirements. Our team walks the site to assess access, ground conditions, slope, vegetation, and any constraints that affect the development programme.
Environmental Controls and Setup
Before any ground is disturbed, we install sediment and erosion controls to meet Auckland Council requirements under GD05. This includes silt fences, stabilised construction entrances, sediment retention devices, and diversion drains to protect waterways and neighbouring properties.
Bulk Earthworks and Platform Formation
Our excavators, dozers, and trucks carry out bulk cut and fill to shape the land. Building platforms are formed to surveyed design levels, compacted in controlled layers, and tested to confirm density meets the geotechnical engineer's specification.
Drainage and Stormwater Installation
We install the full drainage network — stormwater pipes, manholes, detention devices, and outfall connections — along with subsoil drainage and any on-site stormwater management systems required by the consent conditions.
Utility Connections and Access Formation
Underground services are installed including water supply, wastewater, power, and telecommunications ducting. Access roads and driveways are formed with base course, kerb and channel where required, and connections to the public road network.
Final Surfaces and Handover
Finished surfaces are applied — asphalt, concrete, or compacted aggregate depending on the design. The site is surveyed against design levels, as-built documentation is prepared, and we coordinate council inspections for engineering sign-off and completion certificates.

Why Choose Us
Why Choose Blake Civil for Site Development in Auckland?
One Team From Raw Land to Build-Ready
We manage every stage of site development under one contract — earthworks, drainage, utilities, roading, and finished surfaces. No coordinating separate contractors for each trade. One crew, one programme, one point of contact from start to handover.
Auckland Consent and Compliance Experience
Resource consent, earthworks consent, engineering plan approval, and Auckland Unitary Plan requirements are part of every site development project we deliver. Our team manages consent compliance throughout — sediment controls, inspection bookings, and documentation so your project stays on the right side of council.
Heavy Fleet for Serious Earthworks
Site development starts with moving earth. Our fleet of 20-30 tonne excavators, dozers, tip trucks, and rollers handles the bulk earthworks that shape your site — from small residential platforms through to large-scale subdivision cut and fill operations.
Drainage and Services Capability
We install complete underground infrastructure — stormwater, wastewater, water supply, power ducting, and telecommunications. Licensed drainlayers and experienced civil operators handle the services reticulation that turns bare land into a connected, functional site.
Programme Management Across Stages
Site development involves multiple trades and stages that must happen in the right sequence. We programme the work so earthworks, drainage, services, and roading flow without gaps — keeping the overall development on track and avoiding costly delays between stages.
North Auckland Ground Knowledge
We work across Auckland's northern growth areas daily. We know the clay soils around Dairy Flat, the rolling terrain in Kumeu, the greenfield development conditions in Silverdale, and what Auckland Council expects at every stage of the site development process.
