Swedish contractor won most work in January, but Bovis Lend Lease still tops annual league.
Skanska headed the barometer for January thanks to three contracts worth a total of £148.5m. Second was Bovis Lend Lease, which also scored three contracts, but the one that counted was the £100m Marconi headquarters at Coventry.

The big movers in January were Clugston and PCM. Clugston leaped 17 places to third with a single contract – a £100m development in Barnsley for Teesland. PCM entered the table for January in fifth place after winning the £86m contract for a BMW project at Crawley in Surrey.

Bovis still heads the annual table with £924.5m, ahead of HBG. HOK Sport and Foster and Partners swapped places at the top of the architects' league table for the year. J Sainsbury took the top spot from the Home Office among the clients.
