It signed on the dotted line twice in August, to the tune of \u00a3380m.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest job it scooped in August was the \u00a3280m contract to build a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.constructionnews.co.uk\/contracts\/mclaren-confirmed-to-build-280m-cardiff-arena-28-08-2025\/\">new 16,500-seater arena and 182-room hotel<\/a> in Cardiff.<\/p>\n<p>The venue is scheduled to open in 2028 and is expected to attract more than one million visitors each year.

A \u00a3116.3m job to develop 326 flats and additional commercial units in London pushed it into tenth spot.<\/p>\n<p>While Strabag was the surprise package atop both league tables, the rolling annual table was largely made up of the usual suspects.<\/p>\n<p>Mace jumped from fifth to third place, with a total of 15 jobs valued at \u00a32.4bn, and Balfour Beatty took seventh spot after missing out entirely on the top 10 in July\u2019s table.<\/p>\n<p>The contractor scooped 50 jobs in the year to August 2025, worth \u00a31.8bn.
