About us

We’ve helped Kiwis make great decisions on property for 30 years.

You may have heard about Prendos as the ‘leaky building people’. And it's true – our founding directors were the first to bring this problem to the attention of the government.

But it doesn't define who we are or what we do today. Since the 1990s, we’ve grown to become one of the country’s most commercially astute property and construction consultancies.

Proudly Kiwi owned and operated, we work with property owners, occupiers and managers across all sectors from logistics and hotels to residential and education.

Everything we do stems from our core values of personal excellence, teamwork, client focus, and leadership, as we go about helping clients maximise the value from their property.

Things we’re proud of…

  • We’re a Toitū carbonreduce certified organisation.
  • We’re committed to gender equality. Our team is 50% female – a far higher proportion than the norm in our industry.
  • We were the first to shed light on the leaky buildings situation in New Zealand.
  • We support numerous non-profit foundations and charity organisations.
  • We are multi-cultural and celebrate diversity.
  • Our team speak English and Te Reo Māori, as well as Afrikaans, Arabic, Cantonese, Gaelic, German, Gujarati, Hindi, Hokien, Hungarian, Italian, Mandarin, Marathi, Russian, Sinhala, Spanish, and Tagalog.
