House Plans for Auckland
Mealings Architecture
About
With over 20 years of experience working with Auckland Council and the Auckland Unitary Plan, we bring strong local knowledge to every project. We guide you confidently through the design and approval process, whether your project is a small extension or alteration, or a larger modern new build

What We Offer
We take great pride in creating thoughtfully designed homes across Auckland, from new builds, bespoke homes to extensions, alterations, and smaller projects such as decks and garages. We work alongside you to understand your ideas, take care of the design and council requirements, and help make the overall process feel clear, supported, and approachable from start to finish
Let the Process Begin..
Our initial design process includes:
-
Assessing the Auckland Unitary Plan under your site’s designated zone
-
Reviewing zoning controls, development standards, and applicable overlays
-
Pinpointing any required specialist input, such as structural engineering
-
Identifying the need for stormwater mitigation reports, flooding assessments, or Watercare approvals
-
Confirming whether a topographical survey is required
-
Flagging any potential resource consent requirements early in the process
This early-stage assessment allows us to design with confidence from the outset, reducing surprises and helping your project move smoothly through council.
