Adaptive Surveys soars to new heights as the firm continues to grow

Now we’re into June we thought it would be a good time for an update!

Four new team members have joined the ranks, with three surveyors now heading up our new office in Glasgow. Our founder, Jamie Watt, is hoping to continue on this expansion and firmly establish Adaptive as an industry leader for the whole of Scotland.

“We are excited to have opened a new location in Glasgow, and for the opportunities this will open up for business in the Central Belt. Our team have a wealth of experience and we are looking forward to delivering high quality surveys to an even wider client base. We’re really pleased to have exceeded our growth targets from the last year, and are confident that the new office will continue to bolster our goals.”

Onwards and upwards

Since the beginning of 2025, the team has nearly doubled in size, providing an expert in-house offering to clients. Recently, we launched our brand new service Resi+, a streamlined, cost-effective measured building survey for architects operating in the residential sector. This is a new avenue for us, with previous work being undertaken for clients such as local authorities, health boards, architects and civil and structural engineering firms.

With Resi+, we are branching out, aiming to be the go to surveyor in Scotland for all sectors.

Increasing global reach

Recent projects have taken the team further afield, with work in the Brunsbuttel Port in Germany as well as the rest of the UK. In the last year, we have been very busy carrying out a large utility survey as part of the Brae campus redevelopment in Shetland, a pro-bono survey for The Friends of Craigellachie Bridge which provided them with the data needed to restore the 200+ year old bridge, a top to toe survey of the Trinity centre in Aberdeen providing a virtual walk through tour for potential tenants, and several full service surveys (including drone, laser scanning, Revit modelling, bathymetric and utility surveys) for distilleries such as Jura and Glenfiddich.

We have also carried out topographic and utility surveys for various projects in North Somerset and North Wales as well as laser scanning and 3D modelling in Northern Ireland.

What’s next for team Adaptive?

With several new framework contracts being recently awarded our team are looking forward to continuing our growth trajectory throughout the rest of 2025!
