Co Down construction group Graham has secured a place on a major £3 billion house-building programme in London.
The Hillsborough-based company confirmed it has been included in the London Construction Programme (LCP) major works housing framework for the first time.
Graham has been named in a category for housing projects of £20m and above.
The framework, which is managed by Haringey Borough Council, will focus exclusively on housing projects across London and beyond.
It marks change in policy from the previous framework, which allowed for a broader remit of construction and civil engineering projects.
Lisa Bliss, head of the LCP, said the framework is “a game-changer” for public sector housing procurement.
“It combines innovative solutions with a strong commitment to social value, ensuring that every project delivers meaningful and lasting benefits to communities.”
The Co Down firm’s regional development director, Rob Joyce, added: “This appointment reinforces Graham’s commitment to delivering high-quality housing projects that meet the needs of communities across London and the south east.
“We look forward to collaborating with our partners to deliver innovative, sustainable solutions on some of the region’s most significant housing developments.”
Graham is among the biggest players in the north’s construction scene and among only a handful of the north’s home-grown billion-pound businesses.
The latest accounts for the Hillsborough-based company show it generated £1.125 billion in the year to March 31 2024, producing a pre-tax profit of £14.8m.
Graham employed 2,352 staff across its 18 UK and Ireland sites in the latest financial year.
