The haul included a £40m contract to build Cording Real Estate Group’s first build to rent scheme in the UK in Nottingham.

In its traditonal shed market £500m turnover Winvic also picked up a £56m industrial scheme in Hemel Hempstead for Prologis and a £44m warehouse in Derby for Roxhill.

Sir Robert McAlpine widened its lead at the top of the 12-month rolling total league as it continued an uptick in bidding activity following the appointment of new chief executive Paul Hamer.
