Gilbert-Ash has created 40 new jobs due to series of substantial contract wins across the UK.
The awards include a £13 million project to extend and refurbish the National Army Museum and a £20 million refurbishment of the Bartlett School of Architecture at University College London.
The contract successes has also allowed the company to expand its base in London, moving to larger new premises in the centre of the city.
The jobs created are across all construction disciplines, including site managers, site engineers, design managers, planners and estimators.
Ray Hutchinson, Managing Director of Gilbert-Ash, said: "I am very proud that the company has increased its workforce so significantly at this time. We took the strategic decision to target projects that would allow us to make use of our expertise and experience and this activity is helping us to sustain our plans for continual growth. By specifically targeting bespoke projects in niche areas, we have won a number of high profile, multi-million pound contracts and we anticipate further wins in the coming year."
The company has recently completed the 5G Innovation Centre at the University of Surrey, which is the first facility of its kind worldwide dedicated to the Research and Development of 5G technologies.
In Liverpool, Gilbert-Ash has also recently finished Phase One of the major refurbishment of another landmark site, the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall.
Mr Hutchinson added: "Work is progressing at a rapid pace on a £20m refurbishment of the Institution of Engineering and Technology building in Savoy Place in London, with the building due for handover in October 2015. We have also recently secured a £1m contract to work on the Foreign and Commonwealth office building on King Charles Street in Whitehall."
