Savills Ireland is delighted to announce the acquisition of The Building Consultancy, an independent building and project consultancy practice established in November 2007. The Building Consultancy brings almost twenty years of delivery in the Irish market and is recognised as a specialist advisor to occupiers, funders, commercial property owners and professional advisers.

The acquisition expands Savills capability in building surveying and project consultancy, covering Technical Due Diligence, Pre-acquisition Surveys, Development Monitoring, Project Management, Cost Consultancy, Building Surveying, Interior Architecture and Design.

With the addition of The Building Consultancy team, Savills now has more than 30 specialists delivering these services across Ireland, positioning the firm as one of the largest providers of building consultancy in the market.

The Building Consultancy’s Directors, Alan Baldwin, Hugh Holt, Ken Mulligan and Karl O Donovan, have each worked in senior roles in major architectural and surveying practices in Ireland and Europe. The practice has supported organisations including funders, financial institutions, pension funds and occupiers. This is the second acquisition completed by Savills Ireland in the past 12 months, following its acquisition of Northern Ireland commercial property advisory firm Osborne King in 2025.

Mark Reynolds, Managing Director, Savills Ireland, said:

“Building and project consultancy has become a core requirement in investment, financing and occupation decisions as clients seek greater certainty, independent assessment and clear analysis before allocating capital. The Building Consultancy has built a strong reputation in this space and brings a high-quality team with excellent market credentials. Their expertise strengthens our capability and allows us to provide clients with greater technical insight, broader reporting and increased capacity in response to evolving regulatory, financial and ESG requirements.”

Alan Baldwin, Managing Director, The Building Consultancy, said:

“Joining Savills represents a natural progression for our business. Over the past two decades we have focused on delivering clear, independent technical advice that supports investment decisions, development programmes and occupier strategy. Becoming part of Savills allows us to bring that expertise to a broader client base while continuing to provide the detailed, objective analysis that funders, investors and occupiers rely on when making major property decisions.''
