PERIOD 8:  "With one round to go, 'Bob Builder Ltd' cling onto the lead"

With just one round to go in this year's Competition, it is all to play for at both ends of the league table. At the top, previous leaders "Bob Builder Ltd" held onto top spot with 1,376 pts, but only just as "BCU Construction" climbed 3 places to 2nd and just 6 points behind, with "JAWM InnovaConstructs" staying put in 3rd and just 2 points further back. With only 8 points separating the top three, the destiny of this year's 'B' Championship is going right down to the wire.

It is equally tight in the battle at the other end of the table with 4 teams separated by just 18 points, including "Arcane" who posted the best results in the round, an impressive 12% growth that enabled them to move up 2 places, and above "BurMen Builds", who have been on a downward trajectory since the loft heights of being the leaders at the end of period 6, not helped by letting some key jobs fall behind schedule, which then over ran incurring costly late completion penalties.

With just one round to go each team will be looking to finish strongly, and every decision will count in the final reckoning.
