Your quantity surveying expert and strategic commercial partner
Roxburgh Murray provides Quantity Surveying expertise and strategic commercial support for contractors, subcontractors, developers and landowners across Scotland and the North of England.
We deliver the essential QS work, then take it further through forensic commercial analysis, senior commercial judgement, structured reviews, clear reporting and board-level support.
Our purpose is simple: to help construction leaders understand where their projects truly stand commercially and act with confidence.
Because construction leaders should know where their commercial position truly stands
Complex construction projects carry commercial risk at every stage.
Margins can be lost through unclear entitlement, weak evidence, missed notices, challenged variations, delayed final accounts, contract amendments and project reports that do not reflect the true position.
Roxburgh Murray helps clients see the commercial reality behind the contract, project records, site position and financial information.
We support clients with:
The result is clearer visibility, stronger decision-making and greater confidence over margin, cashflow, entitlement and exposure.

What makes Roxburgh Murray different
Roxburgh Murray is not a traditional task-led QS provider.
We provide the core Quantity Surveying services construction businesses need, including valuations, claims, variations, final accounts, contract reviews and commercial reporting.
But the value goes further.
Our work combines technical QS expertise with forensic commercial analysis, contract-led thinking and senior-level judgement. That means we help clients understand not only what has happened on a project, but what it means commercially and what action should be taken next.
We help clients move from uncertainty to control.
Our approach
Commercial clarity
Clients need to understand the true position before they can make the right decision. We turn project information, contract detail and financial data into clear commercial insight.
Senior judgement
The value is not just in preparing information. It is in interpreting that information commercially and advising directors on the right next step.
Practical action
Our advice is designed to be useful in live commercial situations, including negotiations, claims, final accounts, disputes and urgent project issues.
Forensic analysis
We look closely at the contract, evidence, notices, records, valuations and correspondence to identify entitlement, exposure and recovery routes.
Entitlement discipline
Work carried out must be captured, evidenced, valued and pursued properly. Otherwise, margin can be lost even where entitlement exists.
