From the early days, when B&A consisted of just a handful of passionate planners, we’ve built a team of over 70 experts across 11 offices throughout Aotearoa – but we’ve never lost that original pragmatism that drives us to roll up our sleeves and get things done. We’re known for our hands-on leadership style, with a senior planner assigned to every project regardless of size.
Each regional office reflects our roots: a tight-knit team of people who genuinely care about making the planning process work better for everyone.
We’ve grown because our clients keep coming back, and they keep telling others what they value about working with us. That’s the kind of reputation you can’t buy – you earn it, one project at a time.
We don’t cut corners or take shortcuts. Our work is thorough, strategic, and built to last – because we know that getting it right the first time saves headaches down the road.
We’re not the consultants who disappear when your consent is lodged. We’re your planning partners, working alongside you, your architects, engineers, and Council to find solutions that work.
In achieving this milestone, we’ve measured and are actively managing our operational emissions, including business travel, vehicles, electricity usage, and offices, and are independently verified under ISO 14064-1. Understanding our own impact helps us take meaningful steps towards mitigation and reduction as we move forward in our Toitū journey.
As planning and urban design specialists, we work with clients to help reduce carbon emissions and greenhouse gases in their developments. Our commitment to understanding our own footprint strengthens our ability to help design and build better urban environments that respond to and reduce the impacts of a changing climate.
