OUR PRINCIPALS

OUR HISTORY

Paterson Pitts Partners Ltd has its beginnings in the Dunedin firm of N & E S Paterson Limited, which was established in 1900 as a Land Surveying, Land Valuation and Real Estate firm. Paterson Pitts Partners Limited was established as a surveying firm when N & E S Paterson Limited was reorganized into several independent professional consultancies in 1984. The firm expanded and now has five offices throughout Otago and one office in Canterbury.
