Name a high-profile development and chances are that among the key players will be chartered surveyors and property consultants David Adamson.

Such is the case at Methil Docks in Fife, where the Edinburgh-based practice, is playing a central role in a major regeneration programme which, by 2003, will have transformed the area. A prestige office complex is one of the contracts currently being undertaken by David Adamson, who are also involved in further work at Methil Docks, including a new bakery and food production centre; advanced factory units and a health and leisure complex. David Adamson also provided cost advice with regards to the Regeneration study for Methil & Buckhaven.

The firm whose reputation for quality was underlined this year when its Fife office, set up in Kirkcaldy in 1996 at the West Bridge Mill, became one of the few surveying practices in Scotland to achieve Investors in People status. In addition, they were amongst the first surveying practices in Scotland to operate a Quality Assurance system in line with ISO 9001, a system still firmly in place in each of its branches.

All this follows hard on the heels of their success at the Rosyth Ferry terminal project, where their expertise in cost planning and value management enabled Dew Construction to complete the project in time despite exceptionally tight timescales. Close to the terminal, David Adamson is also involved in the conversion of a former MoD property into a hotel and leisure facility.
