Fit-out firm reports £2.1m pre-tax profit compared to £1.5m loss the previous year, with turnover rising from £117m to £157m after moving to fixed-price contracts
8Build has moved back into profit and increased its turnover by 34%.
The fit-out firm, in its results for the year to 31 March, reported pre-tax profit of £2.1m, which compares to a loss of £1.5m the previous year. Its turnover increased from £117m to £157m over the same period.
In its accounts it said it moved away from Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) contracts towards fixed price lump sum and design and build contracts, which has helped secure revenue at an earlier stage in projects..
“This has reduced the time period from enquiry to construction in comparison to the elongated PCSA periods. This has helped bolster our revenue for the period,” it said. A PCSA contract allows a construction company to start work on a project before the main building contract is finalised.
8Build said it has a record forward order book of £165m and is confident of posting its highest ever turnover in 2025/26.
