Strategic Report
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Principal Activity
The principal activity of the group continues to be the construction of civil engineering projects, operating across the South West of England, specialising in groundworks, highways, drainage, and structural engineering, for both the public and private sectors.
Review of the Business
Following rapid growth in the year ended 31 March 2024, during which the group achieved a 35% growth in turnover, 2025 has been a year of consolidation and operational stability. Turnover has remained consistent and although there has been a fall in gross profit percentage, it is directly linked to an increase in wages and material costs.
In the year the group focused on strengthening the internal processes by upgrading the accounting package to improve financial reporting and operational efficiency, together with transitioning to a new IT provider to enhance system reliability, cybersecurity, and support responsiveness. This ensures that the group's systems are fit for future growth, regulatory compliance and that the group can respond to any future opportunities, whilst maintaining the delivery quality.
The group's key financial and performance indicators during the year were as follows:

Sustainability and Responsibility
The group is committed to sustainable construction practices, including:
  • Minimising environmental impact through efficient resource use and waste reduction.
  • Supporting biodiversity and ecological protection on project sites.
  • Promoting local employment and apprenticeships to strengthen the regional economy.
The group remains committed to reducing it's carbon footprint and protecting the environment. Now in the fifth year of reporting Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, the group is proud to hold the Future Net Zero Standard Gold Certification. With recent investments in Smart Scan and Smart Waste technologies, the group has begun recording it's Scope 3 emissions. This development will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the group's total carbon footprint, identifying key areas for improvement and implement targeted sustainability initiatives.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The directors have considered the principal risks and uncertainties facing the group, it operates in the UK civil engineering sector and is exposed to a number of internal and external risk factors which could impact the business model, financial performance, and future prospects.
The principal risks and uncertainties identified by the board are set out below:
1. Economic and Market Conditions
Demand for civil engineering services is influenced by the strength of the UK economy, government infrastructure investment, and private sector development. Inflationary pressures, interest rate changes, and material cost volatility continue to present challenges.
Mitigation: The Groups order book includes companies from both the public and private sectors and we monitor market developments to adjust pricing strategies and resource allocation accordingly.
2. Project Delivery Risk
The group undertakes construction and infrastructure projects which are subject to risks including unforeseen ground conditions, delays, and cost overruns. Poor project performance may affect profitability and cash flow.
Mitigation: Robust project management processes are in place, with regular reporting and cost tracking. Key projects are overseen by experienced teams, and early risk assessments are undertaken to identify and manage potential issues.
3. Labour Availability and Skills Shortages
The UK civil engineering industry faces ongoing challenges in recruiting and retaining skilled staff, particularly in technical and site-based roles. Labour shortages could affect the timely delivery of projects and increase operating costs.
Mitigation: The group invests in employee development, apprenticeships, and external training. Relationships with recruitment partners are maintained to ensure access to qualified personnel when required.
4. Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) Compliance
Construction activities carry inherent health, safety, and environmental risks. A major incident or regulatory breach could result in penalties, project delays, and reputational damage.
Mitigation: The group operates under a comprehensive HSE framework in line with UK legislation and industry standards. Regular audits and training programmes are in place to ensure compliance and promote a strong safety culture.
5. Regulatory and Legal Compliance
The group must comply with a range of UK laws and regulations, including those relating to planning, construction, employment, and the environment. Non-compliance could result in financial penalties or operational restrictions.
Mitigation: Regulatory developments are monitored through professional advisers and trade associations. Internal processes and training are in place to support compliance across the business.
6. Supply Chain Risk
The availability and pricing of key materials and subcontractor services remain a source of risk, particularly in light of recent supply chain disruptions and increased global demand for construction inputs.
Mitigation: The group maintains relationships with a broad supplier base and engages in forward planning for procurement. Where possible, fixed-price contracts are agreed to manage cost risk.
7. Financial and Liquidity Risk
The business is subject to credit risk from clients and working capital pressure due to the nature of construction contracts. Delayed payments or client insolvency may impact cash flow.
Mitigation: The group performs credit checks on new clients and monitors debtor balances closely. Appropriate banking facilities are maintained to ensure adequate liquidity.
8. Technology and Cybersecurity
The use of digital systems for operations and financial management introduces a risk of cyberattacks or data breaches, which could disrupt operations or result in regulatory penalties under UK data protection laws.
Mitigation: Basic cybersecurity controls are in place, including firewalls, backups, and user training. 
9. Climate and Environmental Risk
...CONTINUED

Page 3
Principal Risks and Uncertainties - continued
Climate-related risks, including extreme weather events and changing environmental regulations, may affect project delivery and compliance obligations. The transition to low-carbon operations presents both risks and opportunities.
Mitigation: The group is reviewing its environmental impact and exploring more sustainable construction methods. Compliance with all current UK environmental regulations is monitored by the HSE team.
The board is satisfied that the group has appropriate risk management procedures in place, proportionate to the scale and complexity of the business. These procedures are regularly reviewed to ensure emerging risks are identified and addressed in a timely manner.
Future Developments
To support the continued growth of the group, the Bridge Innovation Centre was purchased in July 2025 and the business subsequently was relocated. The premises has since become the registered office for the group.
The Bridge Innovation Centre provides a larger space for head office and will support future expansion and growth.
The existing premises, Silverton House, has subsequently been sold in October 2025.

The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Dividends
The value of dividends paid amounted to £344,375 .
Financial Instruments
Objectives and policies
The group's activities expose it to a number of financial risks including credit risk, cashflow risk and liquidity risk.
The use, and nature, of financial instruments are determined by the directors, in the context of trading terms made available by the group to the customers and by suppliers, and with the use of finance lease funding as requried, with the objective of securing the liquidity and profitability of the group.
Price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk
The group's principal financial assets are its bank balances, fixed assets and trade debtors. 
The group's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade debtors. To mitigate this credit risk, the group uses a combination of internal credit control functions and external debt collection agencies. The accounts presented in the balance sheet are net of provisions for doubtful debts. The group does not purchase any significant goods or services in foreign currencies.
The directors regularly monitor the financial information to ensure that any risks in respect of liquidity are considered on a timely basis.
Directors
The directors who held office during the year were as follows:
Mr D A Roberts Resigned 30/04/2024
Mr M Rockey
Mr D Ellis
Acquisition of own shares
During the year ended 31 March 2025, the company purchased 200 Ordinary Shares of £0.10 each under the authority granted by shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 30 April 2024. The total consideration paid for the shares was £425,000.
The shares purchased have been cancelled in accordance with sections 693–720 of the Companies Act 2006, resulting in a reduction in the company’s issued share capital.
Matters covered in the Strategic Report
Disclosures required under s416(4) of the Companies Act 2006 are commented upon in the Strategic Report as the directors consider them to be of strategic importance to the business.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing the financial statements the directors are required to:
  • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
  • make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
  • state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS102, have been followed subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
  • prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company and group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Statement of Disclosure of Information to Auditors
In the case of each director in office at the date the Directors' Report is approved:
  • so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company and group's auditors are unaware; and
  • they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company and group's auditors are aware of that information.
Independent Auditors
The auditors, Kilsby & Williams LLP, have indicated their willingness to continue in office and a resolution concerning their re-appointment will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

  • give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of the group's profit/(loss) for the year then ended;
  • have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
  • have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions Relating to Going Concern
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.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other Information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on Other Matters Prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
  • the information given in the Strategic Report and Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
  • the Strategic Report and Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on Which We Are Required to Report by Exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
  • adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
  • the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records or returns; or
  • certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
  • we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of Directors
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 4—5, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and the industry in which it operates, and considered the risk of acts by the company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements - continued
We focussed on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Companies Act 2006 and UK tax legislation. Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation, enquiries with management and enquiries of legal counsel. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud. As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1. Accounting Policies
1.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'' and the Companies Act 2006.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the group. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
1.2. Basis Of Consolidation
The group consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the company and all of its subsidiary undertakings together with the group’s share of the results of associates made up to 31 March 2025.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Where the group owns less than 50% of the voting powers of an entity but controls the entity by virtue of an agreement with other investors which give it control of the financial and operating policies of the entity, it accounts for that entity as a subsidiary.
Where a subsidiary has different accounting policies to the group, adjustments are made to those subsidiary financial statements to apply the group’s accounting policies when preparing the consolidated financial statements.
An associate is an entity, being neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture, in which the group holds a long-term interest and where the group has significant influence. The group considers that it has significant influence where it has the power to participate in the financial and operating decisions of the associate. The results of associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
Any subsidiary undertakings or associates sold or acquired during the year are included up to, or from, the dates of change of control or change of significant influence respectively.
Where control of a subsidiary is lost, the gain or loss is recognised in the consolidated income statement. The cumulative amounts of any exchange differences on translation, recognised in equity, are not included in the gain or loss on disposal and are transferred to retained earnings. The gain or loss also includes amounts included in other comprehensive income that are required to be reclassified to profit or loss but excludes those amounts that are not required to be reclassified.
Where control of a subsidiary is achieved in stages, the initial acquisition that gave the group control is accounted for as a business combination. Thereafter where the group increases its controlling interest in the subsidiary the transaction is treated as a transaction between equity holders. Any difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and the carrying amount of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity. No changes are made to the carrying value of assets, liabilities or provisions for contingent liabilities.
Page 21
Page 22
1.3. Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for by applying the purchase method.
The cost of a business combination is the fair value of the consideration given, liabilities incurred or assumed and of equity instruments issued plus the costs directly attributable to the business combination. Where control is achieved in stages the cost is the consideration at the date of each transaction.
Contingent consideration is initially recognised at estimated amount where the consideration is probable and can be measured reliably. Where (i) the contingent consideration is not considered probable or cannot be reliably measured but subsequently becomes probable and measurable or (ii) contingent consideration previously measured is adjusted, the amounts are recognised as an adjustment to the cost of the business combination.
On acquisition of a business, fair values are attributed to the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities unless the fair value cannot be measured reliably, in which case the value is incorporated in goodwill. Intangible assets are only recognised separately from goodwill where they are separable and arise from contractual or other legal rights. Where the fair value of contingent liabilities cannot be reliably measured they are disclosed on the same basis as other contingent liabilities.
1.4. Going Concern Disclosure
The directors have not identified any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the group and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern.
1.5. Significant judgements and estimations
Revenue recognition on long-term construction contracts
The directors are required to exercise significant judgement in determining the basis on which revenue from long-term construction contracts is recognised. The Group applies the cost method to measure the stage of completion, whereby revenue is recognised over time by reference to the proportion of contract costs incurred to date relative to the latest estimate of total contract costs. This method is considered by the directors to provide the most reliable and objective measure of the Group's performance under each contract.
The application of the cost method requires judgement in evaluating the completeness and accuracy of cost forecasts, including the identification of costs attributable to each contract and the assessment of costs necessary to fulfil remaining obligations. Determining whether the criteria for recognising revenue over time under FRS 102 Section 23 are satisfied also involves judgement, particularly in assessing whether the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. This assessment is informed by a detailed review of contract terms, commercial correspondence, and established practices with the customer.
Assessment of performance obligations
Judgement is required in determining whether a contract comprises a single performance obligation or multiple distinct obligations. This determination directly affects the pattern and measurement of revenue recognised under the cost method. In forming these judgements, the directors consider the nature and integration of the goods and services promised, the degree to which they are interdependent, and whether any elements are separately identifiable within the context of the contract.
Classification of contract balances
Judgement is also required in assessing whether amounts arising on construction contracts at the reporting date should be presented as amounts recoverable on contracts, trade debtors, or deferred income. This assessment is based on the stage of completion determined under the cost method, the status of valuations and certification, contractual invoicing milestones, and whether the Group has an unconditional right to payment for the amounts recognised as revenue.
Forecast costs to complete on long-term contracts
...CONTINUED
Page 22
Page 23
1.5. Significant judgements and estimations - continued
Estimating total contract costs is inherently uncertain and involves significant judgement by management. Forecasts include direct materials, direct labour and subcontractor costs. These estimates are reviewed regularly and updated based on current information, including subcontractor valuations, site progress, and known risks. A change in estimated costs could materially affect the amount of revenue and profit recognised in the period.
Amounts recoverable on contracts
The recoverability of amounts due on contracts depends on the accuracy of cost forecasts, the ability to agree valuations with clients, and the outcome of any variations or claims. Management assesses recoverability by reviewing contract terms, certification status, historic settlement experience, and the financial standing of customers.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment
Determination of depreciation charges requires management to estimate the useful economic lives and residual values of assets. These estimates are based on the expected pattern of consumption of economic benefits, historic experience with similar assets, and anticipated technological or commercial obsolescence. Useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date, and changes may materially affect the carrying value of assets and depreciation charges in future periods.
Operating leases
Management exercises judgement when assessing whether contractual arrangements contain a lease as defined in FRS 102 Section 20 and whether a lease should be classified as an operating or finance lease. This assessment is based on whether substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership transfer to the Group, the lease term relative to the asset’s useful life, the present value of lease payments relative to the asset’s fair value, and the existence of purchase options or residual value guarantees.
Deferred tax
Recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities requires judgement regarding the extent to which future taxable profits will be sufficient to utilise deductible temporary differences and tax losses. Management assesses forecasts of future profitability, the expected timing of reversals of temporary differences, and the availability of tax planning opportunities. Deferred tax balances are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates at the reporting date. Changes in tax legislation or rates may result in adjustments to deferred tax balances.
Deferred income
Judgement is required in determining the appropriate recognition of deferred income, particularly in assessing when the Group's performance obligations have been satisfied. Deferred income represents amounts invoiced or received in advance of the Group rendering the related goods or services. Management evaluates contractual arrangements to determine whether income should be recognised immediately or deferred, and estimates the period over which income should be recognised. Changes in estimates regarding the timing or extent of obligations may result in adjustments to deferred income and corresponding revenue in future periods.
1.6. Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover represents the amounts chargeable in respect of the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs. Turnover is only recognised to the extent of recoverable expenses when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably.

1.7. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold 0-2% straight line
Leasehold 5-20 years straight line
Plant & Machinery 10% reducing balance
Motor Vehicles 25% reducing balance
Fixtures & Fittings 10% reducing balance
Computer Equipment 10% reducing balance
Depreciation is charged in full in the year of acquisition and is not charged in the year of disposal.
1.8. Leasing and Hire Purchase Contracts
Assets obtained under finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the group. Obligations under such agreements are included in the creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the profit and loss account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to the profit and loss account as incurred.
1.9. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to a known amount of cash with insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts.
1.10. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The group's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible timing differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

1.10. Taxation - continued
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are presented within provisions for liabilities and deferred tax assets within debtors. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflect the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss for the year, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case current and deferred tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
1.11. Pensions
The group operates a defined pension contribution scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
1.12. Government Grant
Government grants are recognised in the profit and loss account in an appropriate manner that matches them with the expenditure towards which they are intended to contribute.
Grants for immediate financial support or to cover costs already incurred are recognised immediately in the profit and loss account. Grants towards general activities of the entity over a specific period are recognised in the profit and loss account over that period. This includes CITB levy income, supporting the cost of training within the industry.
All grants in the profit and loss account are recognised when all conditions for receipt have been complied with.
1.13. Deferred Income
Deferred income represents deposits taken in advance, for projects which had not been completed at the year end.
1.14. Share Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.
1.15. Construction Contracts
Where the outcome of a construction contract can be reliably estimated, contract revenue and contract costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity as at the period end.
Where the outcome of construction contracts cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred which is probable to be recovered. The contract costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. 
The entity uses the percentage completion method to determine the amounts to be recognised in the period. The stage of completion is measured by reference to the contract cost incurred up to the end of the reporting period as a percentage of total estimated costs for each contract. Cost incurred for work performed to date do not include costs relating to future activity, such as materials or prepayments.
