Environmental Sustainability |
|
| vivian+espie are passionate about assisting people to maintain environmental sustainability, through managing New Zealand’s resources effectively. Both Ben and Carey believe environmental sustainability is the greater good to come from environmental planning. |
| |
| “One of our major environmental issues is maintaining our rural land, the quality of our soils and natural landscapes. When using this resource we have to ensure we do not deplete it. As consultants in resource management and landscape planning we offer the expertise to help plan around sustaining our world class environment.” |

Working Together |
|
| Carey Vivian and Ben Espie have found combining their respective skills under one roof saves their clients time and money. Understanding each others roles and what each requires to get the job done helps eliminate unproductive time for the client spent going from one consultant to another. |
| |
| “We have found that in situations that require both resource management and landscape architecture skills, we provide a more complete appraisal through our understanding of each others areas of expertise”. |
|
Working Independently |
|
| Carey and Ben work independently of each other almost 50% of the time. They say this keeps them fresh and focused, and importantly, in touch with other landscape planners or resource managers in the district. |
| |
| “The experience of working together has definitely made it easier to work with others. We have a very good working relationship with many other consultants and professionals around the district and the country” |
|
Branching Out |
|
| vivian+espie’s experience working in the rural Wakatipu District over the last decade and more recently in the Otago and Southland area, has granted them a true understanding of the land, knowledge of locations, and commonalities between cases. |
| |
| “We have branched our services into Otago and Southland. There are slightly different issues in these areas which ensure we continue to learn and grow.” |
