Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- RSM UK Audit LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis, which is further discussed in note 1.2. The Company's positive net assets and significant cash position and ongoing construction projects underpins this assumption. In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.”
Significant events
- “Loss before taxation is £1,514,000 (2024: £1,709,000).”
- “Turnover has decreased from £88.3m to £29.5m. This reduction in turnover has ultimately resulted from the group board's strategic review of construction activities and decision to alter its procurement route to concentrate on land-led construction opportunities and partnership working and remove the reliance on competitively tendered projects where the risk transfer from customers has become disproportionate to the margins earned.”
- “The Company is pleased to have started one new construction project during the financial year which procured under its new partnership working procurement strategy with a total contract value of around £33m.”
- “As part of the wider Cruden group's restructuring exercise, all employees within the group's operating subsidiaries, including those that were employed by this Company, were transferred into one operating company during the prior year, Cruden Homes Limited, a sister subsidiary within the Cruden group.”

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
