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

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 company's abil”
Significant events
- “The calendar year 2025 sees 8build enter its 20th year of operation which is an enviable milestone for many.”
- “There has also been a significant increase in our aviation offering. We have worked in partnership with London City Airport for many years and during the past year we have also won projects at Heathrow and, most recertly, at Gatwick.”
- “Record revenue of £157m is already secured for 2025/26 and with a total forward order book of £165m, this year and the coming one look to bring increased security and a more balanced outlook with better margins than in the past.”
- “Fortunately, we have experienced a decrease in our Accident Frequency Rate (AFR) this year. We have had four reportable incidents and with an increased man hours of 1.423-million-man hours (FY24 1.359-million-man hours), this results in an AFR of 0.28 which, although good in the industry, is higher than we would wish.”
- “we have successfully attained accreditation with BSI ISO 27001:2022 Information Security Management.”
