Postscript

This year’s specialists tables were compiled for Building by construction data company Barbour ABI. The list was compiled primarily by using the published report and accounts of the largest specialist contractors, with firms asked to identify themselves for consideration via an online form on the Building website. Where specialists are stand alone parts of larger organisations, the report and accounts used are for the specialist company only. Where those are not published separately, the firms were contacted and asked to complete a survey filling out turnover, pre-tax profit and staffing numbers for that part of the business.

If you believe your company should have been included for consideration please contact Barbour ABI on 0151 3533 500 or info@barbourabi.com.
