Model A · Design & Build

Resort development, held as a hospitality project.

For landowners and developers who need the idea tested, planned and built as a hotel or resort, and not as a generic construction package. Guest bookings are unaffected.

Who this is for

  • Landowners who want to know what the land can become
  • Developers planning a new hotel or resort
  • Investors who want one brief held across advisers

The route

From the land to handover, in the order it usually happens

Skip a step only when the property has already done it. The order is a guide to the conversation, not a timetable.

  1. Land

    Read the site: access, water, power and what the land can hold.

  2. Feasibility

    Test the guest, the market and the concept before drawings are paid for.

  3. Design

    The hospitality brief sits beside the architect’s drawings.

  4. Approvals

    Map the permissions. Authorities decide; the owner applies.

  5. Construction

    Civil works and services, by contract or a qualified partner.

  6. Interiors

    Rooms, furniture and landscape specified for hotel use.

  7. Handover

    Drawings, warranties and operating manuals the owner should hold.

Land

What a development conversation covers

Each item below is included only when the written scope says so.

  • Property and land assessment

    Access, services, boundaries and what the land can support.

  • Market feasibility

    Who the guest is, and whether demand and rates support the concept.

  • Hospitality concept

    The stay, the number of keys and the experience the property is built around.

  • Architecture and planning

    Coordination with the appointed architect and planner.

  • Capital cost

    A structured cost, with allowances marked as allowances.

  • Statutory permissions

    A map of what may be needed and who must apply.

  • Construction management

    Oversight of the build, where that scope is contracted.

  • Interiors and landscape

    Specification and coordination for hotel use.

  • Opening readiness

    A practical checklist before the first guest arrives.

Design

Design follows the stay, not the other way around

The architect draws. Green Heritage holds the hospitality brief beside the drawings, so the plan fits the guest and the way the property is run.

Green Heritage

The hospitality brief

  • Rooms, keys and the guest the property is for
  • Food and beverage, and how service reaches the guest
  • Arrival, service entry and back-of-house routes
  • Landscape and the number of units the land can carry

Appointed professionals

The drawings and designs

  • Architectural and master-plan drawings
  • Structural, electrical, plumbing and fire designs
  • Statutory submissions in the professionals’ names
  • Green Heritage does not replace the statutory designer

Approvals

Permissions are mapped, not granted

A project may need several permissions. The list is prepared early so the owner knows who must apply and in what order. The authorities decide.

  • Planning and building
  • Forest and wildlife areas
  • Pollution control
  • Fire safety
  • Labour
  • Local licences

Construction and handover

Implementation capabilities

Delivery is by Green Heritage where that work is contracted, or by a suitably qualified execution partner. Licensed design and statutory approvals stay with the licensed professionals and the authorities.

  • Master planning

    The site arranged as a hospitality place: arrival, stay, service and landscape.

  • Architecture

    Coordination with the appointed architect. Green Heritage does not replace the statutory designer.

  • Structural engineering coordination

    Briefing and review with the structural consultant the project appoints.

  • Landscaping

    Planting, levels and outdoor rooms that suit the climate and the guest journey.

  • Roads and internal circulation

    Guest arrival, service entry, parking and walking routes kept apart where they should be.

  • Utilities

    A single picture of water, power, drainage and communication before trenches are dug twice.

  • Water systems

    Source, storage and distribution questions, including what the site cannot support.

  • Wastewater and STP feasibility

    Whether treatment is required and who must design it. Feasibility is not a pollution consent.

  • Power and electrical works

    Load, backup and distribution coordinated with the electrical designer.

  • Solar energy feasibility

    Whether rooftop or site solar is worth studying. No generation figure is stated here.

  • Fire safety coordination

    The fire consultant and the authority remain responsible for compliance.

  • Building construction

    Civil works by a contracted team, with an inspection rhythm agreed in the contract.

  • Swimming pool

    Only where the concept, water and permissions support it.

  • Restaurants and kitchens

    Service design first, then the kitchen that can actually produce it.

  • Cottages and villas

    Keys, privacy, service access and the number of units the land can hold.

  • Spa and recreational facilities

    Included only when they earn their keep in the concept.

  • Furniture and fixtures

    Specified for hotel use, not for a one-time photograph.

  • Procurement

    Vendor groups, comparisons and what the owner approves before an order.

  • Quality assurance

    Checks against drawings and samples. A snag list is part of the work.

  • Site inspections

    Recorded visits at the frequency the contract states.

  • Handover documentation

    Drawings, warranties and operating manuals the owner should hold.
