About Us
History
Will Rudd, now retired, started as a self employed consultant in 1978, expanding rapidly to form Will Rudd Associates Ltd in 1982, working mainly on Structural Engineering in Edinburgh.

Graham Roxburgh, also now retired, formed Roxburgh & Partners in Glasgow in 1969, working mainly on Civil Engineering works within the Paper Industry.

Will Rudd Associates grew steadily during the 80’s and 90’s, with Stewart Davidson being appointed Production Director in 1992. This strengthend greatly the Management Team and led to the formation of Will Rudd Davidson. Stewart became Managing Director in early 2004.

Our continued ability was recognised when the well-respected Company Roxburgh & Partners merged with Will Rudd Associates in September 2000 forming Will Rudd Roxburgh.
The Group Today
This combination today now makes Will Rudd Davidson Edinburgh & Glasgow one of Scotland’s leading Structural and Civil Engineering Consultancies. Together, the Company has approximately 25 skilled Engineering staff working with the latest technology and within a Quality Management framework, providing a high standard of service, professionalism and flexible response to requirements.

With Associates based in Appin, London and Warrington, the Company can call on approximately 35 technical staff to address the challenges of larger scale commissions throughout the whole of the UK.

Will Rudd Davidson is led by Stewart Davidson, with Angus Roxburgh, and Chris Milne as Co-Directors in Edinburgh and Brian Walker and Colin Anderson as Co-directors in Glasgow.

We direct highly qualified, enthusiastic and motivated staff, responding accordingly to our Clients.
Our Approach To Client Success
HOW WE WORK

Our mission statement - "It will not suffice to have Clients who are merely satisfied" - drives the operation of the Group at all levels to ensure that expectations are exceeded and requirements are fully met. Instrumental in this goal is the proactive service delivered to Clients at all stages of a commission.

Directors and Senior staff members are actively involved throughout, and interact with the Client during feasibility, design, construction and handover stages of the work. The emphasis is on delivering exactly what the Client requires, safely, on time, and within budget.

We offer our Clients an extended and consolidated comprehensive service, both technically and geographically. Economy of design and Client attentiveness, at senior level, from conception to completion is fundamental to company ethos.

OUR PEOPLE

The Group recognises the importance of its staff in delivering successfully on Client commissions, and has created a working environment where high quality work and innovative thinking flourish. Staff members are closely involved in all matters pertaining to their work, whilst the Directors foster a family company culture where the emphasis is on work satisfaction.

These initiatives have not only allowed the company to enjoy a lower than average staff turnover, but have led our Edinburgh and Glasgow offices both being accredited the Investors in People Award, with Investors in People reporting that 'Discussions identified a real sense of team spirit and an almost ‘family’, yet highly professional atmosphere.'

As a means of ensuring currency of staff knowledge in the appropriate specialist domains, the Group are actively involved with many industry bodies and its memberships include BSI, TRADA, BRE and The Concrete Society.

Both our offices are registered bodies with Structural Engineers Ltd (SER), with SER Registered Certifiers employed across the Practice, to undertake the full certification procedure required under the Scottish Building Regulations. We are pleased to announce that our Edinburgh and Glasgow offices have recently successfully completed their first audits with commendable B and A classifications respectively. The Auditors review stated “The Body is well run and appears to be alert to all SER Technical and other advisory documents that have been issued to date”.
The Future
We are committed to becoming the structural and civil engineering consultancy of choice in Scotland within the next ten years. To that end, we are focused on succession planning for all levels of staff within the organisation, and expect to achieve significant expansion in turnover and staff numbers over the next five to ten years. Our objective is to ensure that the Group will continue to provide the highest quality of professional services long into the future.

We will maintain our position at the forefront of New Design and Technologies, by providing State of the Art concepts in design, materials and efficiency.
