AK CONSULTING LTD SURVEYORS NORTH

Surveyors North is a survey, planning, engineering consultancy practice which was originally established in 1954 as K A Pothan Registered Surveyor. Since 1954 the practice has had several changes in name and ownership, however the philosophy established by K A Pothan of providing professional land development and planning services to a high standard has not altered with the practice now providing a wide variety of land development, engineering and measurement related services to clients throughout the North Island.
