Underground infrastructure
data should belong to the country.
Not a single industry consortium. UtilityFinder is the open NZ utility map - built so a homeowner planting a tree, a builder quoting a job and a council planner scoping a project all see the same picture, instantly. We're looking for operators who want their network on it.
If this sounds familiar
The status quo isn't serving your network.
Every prevented strike saves tens of thousands in repair costs. Wider distribution of your asset data isn't a cost line - it's strike-avoidance ROI. Here's what the legacy channel quietly costs you.
Locked into a single channel
Distribution contracts that pre-date the modern web. Terms that haven't kept up with how contractors actually plan a dig in 2026.
Your data goes out as someone else's PDF
Stock template, generic colours, safety messaging buried at the bottom. Your brand and your most important warnings get lost on the way to the worksite.
No idea who's planning to dig
No live demand signal. No view of which contractors, suburbs or projects are touching your network this week. Just inbound plan requests, in isolation.
The small jobs never even ask
A 30 cm post hole, a fence line, a deck footing - the threshold for a formal locate is too high, so people skip it. That's where strike rates are highest.
Faxed plans in an API-first world
Hand-handling thousands of individual PDF requests is a 1998 cost structure. A bake-once-serve-everywhere data feed is what the rest of the infrastructure stack already runs on.
What changes when you partner
Your asset data. Your brand. Your terms.
- 1
Your brand, your messaging - intact.
Operator pop-ups carry your colours, your contact details, your dig-safe instructions. Not ours. Not someone else's.
- 2
A real demand signal for your network.
See where diggers are pinning worksites in your territory, by region and by month. Bring that intel into your planning, not your inbox.
- 3
Catch the jobs that wouldn't otherwise ask.
A self-serve map gives small operators, homeowners and quoting builders a low-friction way to surface your assets - before they put a spade in the ground.
- 4
API-first integration, not faxed plans.
Push GeoJSON, WFS, shapefile or scheduled exports. We handle the public-facing layer; you keep working in the GIS stack you already have.

Aotearoa-built, Aotearoa-hosted.
NZ-owned, NZ data residency, NZ support. A procurement story that actually works for councils and SOEs.
What a partnership looks like
Low-friction. Built around your stack.
We're a small NZ team. There's no 40-page MSA, no year-long procurement cycle. We start with a 30-minute call to understand your network and your constraints, then run a pilot that proves it out.
1. A 30-minute intro call
Tell us how plan distribution works for your network today, what's painful, and what success looks like.
2. A pilot data feed
GeoJSON, WFS, shapefile, scheduled FTP - whatever your GIS team already exports. We meet you where you are.
3. Branded operator surface
Your colours, your contact, your dig-safe messaging on the public map. You sign off before anything goes live.
4. Real demand insight back to you
Monthly view of who's pinning worksites in your network - region, density, trend.
Get your network in front of every digger.
Drop us a line. We'll send a one-page summary of what an integration looks like for your network, with no obligation.
