Murphy Construction are specialist self build builders across Scotland. We take on full self build contracts — from groundwork to handover — and we carry out the core structural work ourselves: timber frame erection, wall sheeting and first fix joinery.
This is the work Michael Murphy loves and excels at. Backed by a trusted network of specialist trades built up over 18 years, every stage of your self build is delivered by the right person to the highest standard.
Michael Murphy leads every project personally — a joiner by trade with 18 years of hands-on construction experience. Backed by a trusted network of specialist trades built up over 18 years.
All groundwork and foundation construction for your self build — coordinating with structural engineers and ensuring a solid, compliant base.
Our core specialism — timber frame panel erection, wall sheeting and weathertight completion. Michael does this work himself. Fast, accurate and built properly.
All structural first fix joinery — door frames, window boards, noggins, lintels and stair openings — carried out in-house before boarding and plastering.
Coordination of all follow-on trades — insulation, boarding, plastering, second fix M&E, second fix joinery and finishes through to practical completion.
Michael started as an apprentice joiner. 18 years on the tools means he understands the craft and won't accept anything less than a proper standard of work.
Every trade we use has been vetted and proven over years of working together. No unknown subcontractors dropped on your site at the last minute.
We deliberately limit the projects we take on. Every build gets our full attention — fewer projects, higher standards, better outcomes every time.

A typical timber frame self build costs between £2,000 and £3,000 per square metre for a fully completed home depending on size, specification and location. We provide a detailed quote before you commit.
Both. We take on full build contracts from groundwork to handover, or we can be brought in for specific stages where our skills add the most value.
For a full self build, having both is the most powerful combination. Murphy Construction builds it, Murphy PM manages the whole project — budget, programme and compliance.
