In April 2019 construction contracts worth a total of 拢6,156.8m were signed in the UK.
The usually monthly average logged by the Builders鈥� Conference is around 拢4bn; but in 2019 every month has seen more than 拢6bn of new work won. That suggests that either, contrary to all other evidence, the UK is going through a construction boom, or the Builders鈥� Conference intelligence network is getting better at tracking new contract awards. 聽
The Builders鈥� Conference monthly BCLive league table for April 2019 shows 13 companies winning more than 拢100m of new work.
Top of the list is Morgan Sindall, whose 26 new contract awards in April were worth 拢438.5m in total. The largest of these is a 拢195m housing repair and maintenance contract with Waltham Forest Council.
Housing refurbishment and repair work also propelled Engie into second place on the monthly total.聽 Engie signed 21 new contract awards in April 2019 worth a combined total of 拢299.6m. The largest of these is a 拢190m deal with Central Bedfordshire Council.
Kier鈥檚 19 new contracts won during the month, with a combined value of 拢283.9m, gave it third place. These include a 拢200m mixed use development in Camberley for Surrey Heath Borough Council.
