Welcome to 黑洞社区鈥檚 annual league table of the 100 biggest UK contracting and housebuilding giants, ranked by turnover, pre-tax profit, operating margin and more besides.

So where does your firm come? Who gobbled up 拢1bn more business in 2003 than any other company? Which family housebuilder is operating on a margin of 44%? Where can you go to rake in 拢2.5m a year at fat-cat level? (Hint: after last year鈥檚 拢3m revelations, it ain鈥檛 David McLean.) And if you think these monster firms have grown since last year, take a look at our comparison with the industry rankings of 10 years ago, on pages 6-8. Grrr 鈥�
