CR Construction (U.K.) Company Limited

What CR Construction (U.K.) Company Limited does

CR Construction (U.K.) Company Limited (CRUK) is a London-headquartered main contractor established in 2018 as the wholly owned UK subsidiary of Hong Kong-listed CR Construction Group Holdings Limited (HKEX: 01582.HK), whose ultimate parent Zhejiang Construction Investment Group reports approximately £10bn of annual turnover. The company delivers construction projects across residential, mixed-use, commercial and regeneration sectors in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Yorkshire, with contract values ranging from roughly £16m to £210m and notable schemes including the £210m, 895-apartment NT 02/03 development and the 634-unit Victoria Riverside scheme, both in Manchester.

The business operates a traditional construction delivery model — new build, refurbishment, façade retention and complex multi-faceted schemes — executed through its own thin UK workforce (approximately 30 staff) supplemented by trusted supply chain partners. Capabilities span historic listed-building work through to modern high-rise towers, supported by ISO 9001/14001/45001, SSIP, NHBC and BREEAM-aligned credentials that pre-qualify the firm for both public-sector and developer-led tenders.

Revenue is generated through fixed-price construction contracts awarded via competitive tendering (two-stage, pre-construction services and single-stage processes). The go-to-market is sales-led, emphasising relationship building with real-estate developers — notably Far East Consortium, Capital & Centric and SRE London — and government bodies for urban regeneration. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; each contract is individually scoped and quoted.
