Methodology

This analysis refers to those companies identified by Hewes & Associates as the top 150 that have results available with a year end in 2021 or 2022 and for which contracting, housing and facilities management account for roughly 50% or more of turnover. The top housebuilders listing refers to firms that refer to themselves as housebuilders, and so includes developers and social housebuilders; it does not include housing associations, some of which are involved in building.  

Operating profit (included where data is available) refers to profit before pre-exceptional items etc. Turnover includes joint ventures. 

Data concerning activities is as reported by firms, but the data is not totally representative especially when viewing contracting as many private companies include other activities 鈥� such as plant hire, property, in total contracting sales data, and these affect margins. 

On the contractors table, in some instances operating profit includes activities other than contracting, and so the data are not strictly comparable. Similarly, on the FM firms table, in some instances operating profit includes activities other than services, and so the data are not strictly comparable. 

For housebuilders, house price and sale data are not directly comparable as some refer to all housing, while some exclude affordable housing. Not all firms report housing profits or sales, hence gaps in the table.

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