About us

Pinnacle Building Consultancy was formed in 2024 by Ollie Cottam and Sean Marshall, two chartered building surveyors specialising in commercial property.  We combine nearly 50 years of commercial building surveying experience with a passion and enthusiasm for commercial property, to give independent and expert advice across New Zealand.

What is a commercial building surveyor?

We advise businesses on how to get the best value out of their buildings:

  • Investors buying and selling commercial property in order to add value and generate profit from their transactions.

  • Commercial property landlords who let their buildings out to business tenants.

  • Building occupiers - either owner-occupiers or tenants - who rely on their properties to support and enhance their business.

We provide a wide range of advice aimed at ensuring our clients' buildings meet the specific business needs, and our services are tailored to ensure we understand and achieve our clients' priorities. As members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, we follow a strict set of technical and ethical guidelines to ensure we maintain the highest standards across our services.
