The Company

Technical rigour, from people who have built.

JAC Engenharia e Construções has operated in the construction and real-estate development market since 2001, known for the quality of its work and for delivering projects on time.

It is run by civil engineers who combine decades of on-site experience with continuous updating of construction and management techniques. We began operating in Portugal in 2017, where we now focus on technical site supervision, contract management and engineering consulting.

Since 2020, JAC Engenharia in Brazil has operated under new ownership, having been sold. The Portugal-based JAC Engenharia has no link or relationship with the activities carried out in Brazil.

Why work with us

  • Technical independence. We represent the owner before the contractor, with no conflict of interest.
  • End to end. From design to final acceptance — schedule, cost, quality and safety.
  • Engineering + BIM. Model-based verification, clash detection and 4D/5D control.
  • Builders make better supervisors. Decades of our own construction behind every report.
Services

What we do

From technical supervision to contract management and drone surveying, we cover the full life cycle of an engineering project.

Construction supervision

Ensuring the works match the design, bill of quantities, technical regulations and contract. Inspections, testing and provisional/final acceptance surveys.

Core activity

Site & contract management

Schedules and critical path, S-curves, measurement statements, invoicing, price revision and management of additional and omitted works. Productivity and deadline control.

Cost & schedule

Engineering consulting

Technical support on Portuguese regulations (RJUE, RGEU, REH/RECS, fire safety, acoustics, accessibility) and disciplines — structures, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, telecoms and gas.

Decision support

BIM for supervision

Model checking, clash detection and model-based execution verification. 4D planning and 5D cost control to catch conflicts before they reach the site.

Technology

Surveying & drone

Drone aerial photogrammetry — orthomosaic, digital terrain and surface models, contour lines and point clouds, with quality control via GCPs and RMSE.

Aerial survey

Construction & infrastructure

Our origin: residential construction — from high-end to affordable housing — and infrastructure such as water treatment plants, reservoirs, mains and power substations.
