- Ernst & Young LLP, Statutory Auditor
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Whilst the Company is expected to continue to have access to significant levels of cash resources and have no third party borrowings, the directors have considered the recent reported financial performance of the Company and the impact that inflation, availability of labour and materials, the impact of conflicts in the Ukraine and the Middle East and the risk to cashflows of post completion liabilities arising from recent legislative changes relating to building safety may have on the Company, and prepared cashflow forecasts for the period to 31 July 2026. Plausible downside sensitivities have been applied to these cashflow forecasts and, even in the unlikely scenario that there is a prolonged decrease in demand for construction services, that the major contracts that the Company is targeting are not won or do not proceed, the potential for continuing high input prices and further revenue contract losses and taking into account the cashflow impact of post completion liabilities as well as claims arising in the normal course of business, the Company still has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the period to 31 July 2026. The directors conclude, therefore, that adopting the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements is appropriate.”

Significant events
- “Although the Company's result improved compared to the previous year, the loss for the year arose as a result of costs related to subcontractor performance, labour availability, ongoing conflicts in the Ukraine and the Middle East, and the continuing impact of post completion liabilities relating to building safety.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
