Methodology

This Top 150 construction company analysis refers to those companies identified by Hewes & Associates as the Top 150, which have results available for 2017/18, and which are housebuilders, building and civil engineering contractors, building fit-out contractors, M&E, and FM/building/civil engineering or maintenance companies.

Larger companies whose 2017/18 results are not yet available have been included with their 2016/17 results, while smaller companies in such a position have not been included.

Turnover includes joint ventures. Ranking comparisons have been affected by the inclusion of companies that were not included in last year’s rankings, and owing to revised methodology, and some cases where there have been changes in corporate reporting, such as a different year end, comparators on figures published last year are not always possible.

Data compilation and analysis was undertaken by Hewes & Associates, to which any queries on the data should be directed: 01428 641518, hewesinfo@aol.com or at www.hewes-associates.com

Notes

¹McLeod (Contractors) data refers to 2016 accounts

²Novus Property Solutions is owned by the Seddon family, but not part of Seddon Group and so listed separately

³Canary Wharf Contractors – no cost of sales data for 2017
