It has been a rollercoaster of a year – now strap in for 2023

Contractors and housebuilders in this week’s league tables have shown resilience through tough times – can they do it all over again next year?

We end this roller-coaster of a year on a high with a positive set of results coming from our Top 150 Contractors and Housebuilders league tables.

The headline figure is that total turnover for the firms in the rankings increased by an average 18%, and much of the growth appears to have been driven by the housebuilders. Our analysis shows that the UK’s 50 biggest housebuilders in the tables turned over £38.6bn, an increase from £31.8bn the previous year. What is more they created £5.6bn of operating profit at an 11.7% margin – up from 7.8%.
