Four consultants have been appointed by real estate investment giant Prupim to provide building surveying services across its 850 UK properties.

The successful firms on the three-year framework are Ridge, Jones Lang LaSalle, DTZ and Malcolm Hollis. They were appointed on 1 January.

Prupim declined to disclose the value of the framework, but it is thought to be worth in the low millions in fees over its three-year life.

The framework also incorporates multi-discipline services including M&E, civil and structural engineering and cost management.

Prupim’s properties include retail, hotels, leisure, offices and industrial buildings. Offices make up the biggest part of its portfolio, worth £4.4bn.

The investment group has £2bn of assets under management in central London, £4.7bn in the rest of the South-east, £1.2bn in the South-west, and £41.1bn in the rest of the UK.

Prupim is among the UK’s largest real estate investment managers, with about £16bn of property assets under management across Europe, North America and the Asia Pacific region.
