Deals worth £113.5m propel contractor up the league table, £50m ahead of nearest rival.
Sir Robert McAlpine leaped to the top of the league table for August, thanks to £113.5m of deals in Cardiff Bay and central London. The contractor won a £60m contract for the Wales Millennium Centre and a £50m project to replace Belgrave House on Buckingham Palace Road with a seven-storey block.
Fit-out contractor Interior Services Group climbed 20 places to second with £64.5m of business and Derby-based housebuilder Miller Birch made its debut in fourth position.
McAlpine's performance raised it to second in the yearly table, but it was still a long way behind leader Bovis Lend Lease.
English Partnerships was the top client, with five jobs worth a total of £1bn, and Foster and Partners was king of the architects with £505.3m of work.
