Public contracts won
First Class Builders Limited has 2 public sector contract awards on record; the ones with their own published value total £83K (2025). Source: Contracts Finder and Find a Tender award notices.

These were matched by the company's exact name because the notice gave no company number.

Filing notes for building contractors
Building companies often run the Construction Industry Scheme as a contractor, a subcontractor or both. CIS deductions suffered during the year are set against the PAYE bill, and any unrecovered balance at the year end matters when the accounts are drawn up.
