A £300m order for a new teaching block at Glasgow University helped to catapult Multiplex to the top of the contract wins rankings in October.

The Keystone project will be the fifth major building to be constructed through the University of Glasgow’s £1.3bn campus development programme.

Lendlease ranked second in the month as its development arm advanced plans for the Dovetail Building, a 24-storey office scheme on Houndsditch in the eastern cluster of the City of London.

The UK arm of Hong Kong-based CR Construction ranked third with a £210m contract to deliver the next phase of Red Bank Riverside on Dantzic Street in Manchester for Far East Consortium.
