BAM has released their recorded turnover of \u00a3949.8m for 2018 (down slightly by 0.3% on 2017), with profit before tax and exceptional items of \u00a327.0 m, which is a margin of 2.8% (2017: 1.5% restated)<\/h2>\n

BAM has seven operating companies in the construction sector, plus separate businesses for plant hire, services engineering, facilities management, property development<\/a> and design. By combining these services the company is able comprehensively to deliver any project in the built environment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The company reported a strong order book of \u00a31.76bn and no debt, with \u00a383m cash reserves.<\/p>\n

James Wimpenny, chief executive of BAM Construct UK, said: \u201cOur customers appreciate the consistent performance we deliver, both in our operations and in our balance sheet.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur increased profitability reflects our business reducing risk by selective tendering and working smarter. Ultimately this consistency benefits both us and our clients in a sector which has experienced recent instability.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are assisted by having a good balance of work between the private sector (58%) and public sectors (42%) and 65% of our work is repeat business, as clients that we have worked with before re-engage us. That is something I believe shows that our collaborative culture is one that our clients appreciate adds value to their projects. I am also pleased with progress at our growing FM business<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wimpenny said that the consistent performance of the business is both a reason to seek further growth, and a good platform for it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot earn enough from construction alone to provide the investment we need in our people and the technology they need for the future. We have therefore embarked on feasibility studies for potential work streams that would generate higher levels of profit to enable growth. There will be no sudden moves. Entry to new markets will be carefully planned with assistance from experts both inside and outside the Group.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company has 2,549 employees. It completed 33 construction schemes in 2018 and secured 39 more.<\/p>\n

BAM\u2019s parent, Royal BAM Group<\/a>, is 150 years old this year. The UK business started operating in 1874 and its record includes early iconic schemes such as the Tate Gallery, the Natural History Museum, and Park Lane Hotel. It has built over 300 hospitals across the country.<\/p>\n

BAM\u2019s full annual report and accounts are available at Companies House and published\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
