With five construction contracts totalling \u00a3561m, Sir Robert McAlpine<\/a> has climbed its way to the top of the contractors league table for November<\/h2>\n

A large contribution of Sir Robert McAlpine\u2019s \u00a3561m construction contracts awards came from the \u00a3250m mixed-use development at Gateshead Quays<\/a>.<\/p>\n

BAM Construction<\/a> and Vinci Construction<\/a> were in second and third place for November 2019, with a total construction contracts award value of \u00a3122m and \u00a398m respectively.<\/p>\n

This month, the top three contractors have been awarded a combined 15 projects at a total value of \u00a3781m. In October, the top three were awarded a total of nine projects valued at \u00a31.4bn.<\/p>\n

Galliford Try Construction sits at the top of the 12-month rolling table with total construction contract award values of \u00a31.8bn made up of 87 projects.<\/p>\n

Construction contract awards in November<\/h3>\n

The latest edition of the Top 50 League Tables published by industry analysts Barbour ABI<\/a>, highlights the number and value of construction contracts awarded during November. This month shows that the combined value of contracts awarded to the Top 50 was \u00a32.7bn with a total of 145 projects.<\/p>\n

The overall value of all projects awarded to the top 50 contractors is down by 39.6%. The total value in October was \u00a34.5bn, and in November it was \u00a32.7bn.<\/p>\n

The total quantity of projects also decreased by 20.3% from October to November, suggesting that the volume of projects awarded has dropped but that the value of those projects taking place has decreased more significantly.<\/p>\n

Tom Hall, chief economist at Barbour ABI & AMA Research, commented: \u201cNovember was a particularly quiet month for high value contract awards amongst the top 50 contractors.<\/p>\n

\u201cA significant drop in value from October suggests a cautious approach towards awarding big ticket projects during an uncertain period\u201d.<\/p>\n

In October six new entrants were catapulted to the top 10 in the league table. The value of construction contracts awarded to the Top 50 was \u00a34.4bn with a total of 182 projects.<\/p>\n
