Savills Middle East announced the appointment of Sunil Parmar to lead Building Surveying services across the Middle East within its Building and Project Consultancy (BPC) service line. The move responds to the growing demand for specialist technical expertise at various stages of the project lifecycle observed across the evolving Middle East markets.

Savills Middle East’s BPC operation recently completed five years in operation, during which the team delivered solutions that are applied across all technical aspects of acquisitions, development, ownership, occupation, and subsequent disposal of property assets.

Parmar will focus on advising clients on major capital investment projects, property transactions, asset optimisation, and landlord-tenant relationships. By adopting a comprehensive asset life cycle management approach, he will equip clients with the insights needed to make value-driven decisions at every stage of the project life cycle, said the firm.

He brings over 25 years of experience as a Chartered Building Surveyor, specialising in building surveying, construction consultancy, project management, and asset management. Having spent the past seven years in the Middle East, including significant time in Saudi Arabia, Sunil’s regional experience positions him to address the unique challenges and opportunities of the market effectively, said a statement.

Most recently, Sunil was seconded to an integrated property management company in Saudi Arabia. In this capacity, he delivered CapEx and tenant fit-out projects across six major assets in Riyadh, playing a key role in redesigning the tenant fit-out management strategy and creating comprehensive tenant fit-out guidelines, it added.

Speaking on his appointment, Parmar commented, “I’m excited to join a global, multi-disciplinary real estate firm and contribute to its growth throughout the region by offering comprehensive building surveying services to existing clients and generating new business. My focus will be on delivering tailored advice to maximise asset value and enhance performance across its life cycle, whilst providing clients with the most cost-effective solutions. With significant ongoing investment into real estate portfolios in the region, I look forward to working on innovative and unique projects in the dynamic markets of the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.”

Simon Denham, Head of Building and Project Consulting and Transactional Services at Savills Middle East, commented, “We are delighted to welcome Sunil to Savills as we continue to strengthen our service line across the region. His extensive experience in building surveying and asset management, combined with his strategic approach to addressing client needs, will significantly enhance our ability to deliver value-driven solutions. Sunil’s leadership will play a vital role as we respond to the evolving demands of the real estate market and work towards achieving our clients’ goals.”
