Two major contract wins have confirmed Sir Robert McAlpine is back as a major player in the London market.

The firm topped the October contracts league after securing Deutsche Bank’s new HQ project above Moorgate Crossrail station and the next major rebuild phase of Broadgate.

Both 21 Moorfields for Land Securities and 1-2 Broadgate for Blue Button are valued by information specialist Glenigan at around £250m each.

On the strength of these major project wins McAlpine jumped from eleventh position to fifth in the annualised contracts league.

Kier continues to lead the pack in the rolling 12-month league table, chased by Wates and Galliford Try with Willmott Dixon rising to fourth place for the first time this year.
