ABOUT US

We’re the team that shapes Auckland’s future.

Over one hundred years ago, Thomas Tripp Andrews paved the way for urban development in Auckland. Since then, we’ve played a major role behind the scenes in Auckland’s growth and development.

We’ve watched Auckland’s urban landscape evolve through our projects – big and small. We have a knack for carving new paths through red tape and regulations and crafting thoughtfully designed solutions to reach our clients’ goals.

Trust and relationships are at the heart of everything we do. Each project is approached with the same level of care and complexity to help landowners build their future. We think big but keep our team small for expert, personable service for each client.

We’re a tight-knit team and work together for efficiency and elevated project coordination – it’s a streamlined approach that leads to gold star outcomes for your development.

Illness saw Thomas back in New Zealand in 1919 and embark on a career in surveying. Opening offices in the heart of Auckland city, Thomas Tripp Andrews began what is now a 100-year-old, locally owned company that plays a vital role in Auckland’s development.
