2 An Introduction Dissatisfied with the traditional land and urban development processes and the varying service standards between planni ng, surveying, engineering & Project Management firms, has resulted in the formation of our company that embodi es a best practice approach and offers traditional professional services delivered with modern efficiency. Leading a team of dedicated professionals, Directors Brian Blight and Jason Har man provide a wealth of experience gathered locally, nationally, and internationally. From issuing of plans to issuing of titles, LDS provides prompt personalised service across the spectrum of devel opment needs. With every aspect of the development pr ocess serviced through four speci alised divisions, and close working relationships with councils and statutory authorities, LDS will ensure that your projects run to schedule and budget.

5 Engineering Design There will always be a need to translate design into reality. LDS recognise the need for accuracy and clarity in such translations. Bridging the gap between planning and the civil construction is the key to ensuring the finished product looks as it is planned to. LDS is conscientious in the super vision of its projects with regular field inspections and close liaison with the client and civil contractor. An in-house database of ci vil contract rates and materials for comparison of tenders or project cost estimation allows an efficient assessment of pr oject viability and cost forecasting for the respective development. With this information at hand an accurate bill of quantity analysis can be carried out quickly. The projects costs estimates can be provided along with design plans for the projects budgetar y consideration. With field staff cross-skilled in the critical requirements of each di vision, LDS is able to see beyond the scope of wor ks and pinpoint issues before they become problems. Engineering design services include: Sewer & Water Major & Minor Works On-Site Storm Water Detention AS4000 Contract & Bill of Quantities Preparation Road & Drainage Design for Subdivisions Project and constr uction management of civil and building contracts Financial management of constr uction programmes Hydrological Modelling Preparation of sediment & erosion control plans On-Site Storm Water Harvesting Site Discharge Index calculations
