David Jack Associates Limited

35 Years of Cost Certainty in the North East

We founded David Jack Associates in 2019 to bring a higher level of client-focused quantity surveying to Aberdeen. Our approach is built on over three and a half decades of hands-on experience in the Scottish construction industry.

As an RICS-regulated firm, we provide the rigorous financial oversight required to turn complex blueprints into successful completions. Whether you are a private developer or a major contractor, we act as your commercial eyes and ears on the ground.

A Proven Track Record at Aberdeen International Airport

Our expertise isn't just theoretical; it’s proven on some of the region's most critical infrastructure. Our founder, David Jack, served as the externally appointed Cost Manager for Aberdeen International Airport for over 15 years.

This experience managing varied and high-stakes projects means we understand how to navigate complex procurement and maintain strict cost control under pressure. We bring that same level of precision to every project, from commercial developments for GSS Developments to large-scale construction with Robertson Construction Eastern.

Why Our Collaborative Approach Works

We believe a successful project relies on a united design team. We don't work in a vacuum; we work closely with your architects and engineers to ensure the brief is fully understood and the budget is respected from day one.

Expert Guidance from Industry Leaders

Our leadership extends beyond the office. David Jack has previously served as a committee member for RICS Scotland (NE Region) and as an External Examiner for the Quantity Surveying degree at Robert Gordon University.

This deep connection to the profession ensures that the advice we give you is always aligned with the latest industry standards and innovative cost-control methods. We are current members of the Aberdeen Association of Construction Professionals, keeping us at the heart of the local building community.

"Our core values revolve around understanding the client's brief and working closely with the design team to deliver innovative, accurate cost control."
