Learn more about the construction companies that have fallen into administration after tough times in 2025
2025 poses its own challenges for the construction industry- the UK economy forecasts modest growth, whilst rising international tensions put strain on supply chains.
16% of companies that filed for administration in 2022 were in the construction industry, dropping to 12% in 2023. 2024 saw high-profile names such as ISG, the UK’s 6th biggest construction firm at the time, folding, with thousands of jobs lost.

January
Sheen Lane
The Richmond-based residential developer is expected to file for administration on 11 January.
They had previously delivered over 2,600 residential units and 120,000 sq ft of commercial floorspace across London and the south east, but reported a pre-tax loss of £27m in 2023, which it attributed to write-downs of over £23m on estimated profits on developments completed with or for sister companies.
Connect Modular
60 staff were made redundant at Scottish volumetric house builder Connect Modular, barely six months after the East Ayrshire firm completed its largest ever contract.
Connect Modular, who were first established in 2013 as the Wee House Company, completed the largest modular low-rise affordable housing development in Scotland in the summer of 2024 at the £17m 101 home project in Kilmarnock.
The December internal newsletter called on staff to rally for a final push in 2025 to complete affordable housing projects in the Garnock Valley, Livingston, Penicuik and Clydebank, as well as preparing to start work on Glasgow’s first operational net zero modular housing development.
Ashville Aggregates and Concrete
The London-based materials supply and muck away specialists have filed a notice of intention to appoint administrators, leaving the future of around 50 staff in doubt for the New Year.
