John Sisk has achieved a notable position at the forefront of the construction league table for May, having secured a substantial contract valued at £300 million. This project will involve the construction of a new North Stand at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium, extending the venue’s current capacity by an additional 7,900 seats. The preconstruction phase commenced at the location last November, with the project anticipated to be completed in time for the 2025/26 football season.
Furthermore, the development plan encompasses additional infrastructure, including the establishment of a hotel, workspaces, and public spaces, all of which are projected for completion by late 2026. This comprehensive expansion initiative underscores Sisk’s pivotal role in the ongoing transformation of the Etihad Stadium.
In parallel, Winvic has clinched the second position in the league, propelled by a singular, yet substantial, contract. Winvic’s £250 million project involves constructing an expansive 370,000 square foot science facility in Oxfordshire for Siemens Healthineers. This facility is aimed at designing and manufacturing superconducting magnets for MRI machines, supporting over 1,300 jobs upon its completion.
Balfour Beatty has concluded the top trio by securing three notable contracts, collectively worth £223.8 million. The most significant among these, valued at £211 million, focuses on the expansion of Rolls Royce’s submarine manufacturing site in Derby. The new expansion is set to include both office and manufacturing facilities, catering to increased demands from the Royal Navy, while also creating approximately 1,170 new jobs.
HG Construction has been positioned fifth in the league, primarily due to a £130 million contract to construct BeCa, a new apartment complex on Old Kent Road. This development will feature 170 apartments and over 22,000 square feet of retail space, alongside a gym and co-working environments. This project highlights the ongoing demand for integrated residential and commercial spaces in urban settings.
Finally, JRL has entered the ninth spot with a £100 million venture to revamp Newcombe House in West London. This redevelopment aims to transform the site into a versatile complex featuring office, retail, housing, and medical facilities. Designed by Squire and Partners, the project involves partial demolition of the current site and signifies a strategic enhancement of the area’s infrastructure.
May has proven to be a dynamic month in the construction industry with John Sisk firmly leading the charge.
