DNL Business Operations Manager Will Newall attributes this success to the company's unique approach and commitment to cultivating long-term, mutually bene cial relationships with clients. "A key client for us relies on a level of trust that goes both ways and a level of open and honest communication. We like to work with clients in a very collaborative way,” he says. DNL stands out in the eld of land development by providing a comprehensive range of services under one roof. The company offers a multidisciplinary service encompassing surveying, urban design, civil and structural engineering, town planning (including resource consents), landscape architecture, environmental consultation, and project management "We keep the client well informed every step of the way and basically take care of everything for them. The broad range of skills we offer as a consultancy—planning, surveying, civil and structural engineering, landscape architecture, and project management—is not overly common within the industry,” says Will. “We work hard to understand what our clients want to achieve and work to deliver quality, sustainable outcomes that make our towns and communities better.” Established in 2016, DNL is led by directors Karl Carew (Licensed Cadastral Surveyor), Matthew Holder (Principal Planner), Aaron Britton (Surveyor), and Kelvin Landon (Chartered Structural Engineer). In a strategic move recently, Shanley Surveyors and Design Phase Civil and Structural Engineers were amalgamated under the DNL banner, enhancing the company's professional expertise for the bene t of its clients and projects. DNL works on a diverse range of projects, both large and small, with a speci c focus on green eld development and urban regeneration. The team has successfully completed projects across various sectors, including mixed-use, residential, health and aged care, industrial, parks and open spaces, commercial, education, and government, primarily in the Hawkes Bay region. Currently DNL is actively engaged in a project for key client Durham Property Investments. "We're not a corporate; we're a locally owned company employing locals. We all live and work here and get a kick out of seeing the work we do to develop and improve our home towns," says Will. “This commitment to local ownership and community involvement underscores DNL's dedication to making a positive impact on the regions we serve.”
