Kier is hard on the heels of the Dutch-owned contractor, but the December lull is apparent across the board.
HBG has held on to first place in the contractors' monthly league table for December 2001 with wins worth 拢33.3m.

The Dutch-owned firm picked up five contracts, the largest of which was an 拢18m office and retail scheme in Edinburgh for Gyle Developments.

Kier moved from fourth to second with 10 contract wins worth 拢31.5m; Skanska claimed third with two contracts worth 拢27.4m. The pre-Christmas lull is evident, with the number of contracts and their values well down on October's and November's figures.

Bovis Lend Lease and Sir Robert McAlpine continue to dominate the contractors' yearly table, as do English Partnerships and 精东影视 Design Partnership in the clients' and architects' tables respectively.
