The Essex-based group, founded as a concrete contractor in 2020, lifted revenue 15% to £184m in the year to 30 November 2025 as growth in infrastructure, civil engineering and specialist foundations offset a slower residential market.
But pre-tax profit dipped to £6.8m from £8.7m last time as the firm absorbed heavy investment in new management systems, technical staff, offices, plant and machinery.
Operating margin eased from 6.6% to 4.9% as Statom also felt the impact of changing workload mix and inflation on key materials.
Statom group chief executive Stan Nikudinski said the spending was needed to support “substantial growth” during the year and prepare the business for further expansion in 2026.
The wider Statom group closed the year with a secured order book of more than £617m, equal to around 3.3 times annual revenue.
Statom said it had reduced its historic reliance on residential work by increasing activity in infrastructure, ports, civil engineering and energy, giving the business strong visibility into 2026 and early 2027.
The group has also strengthened its in-house technical capability, supporting its push into more complex infrastructure and energy projects.
Nikudinski said: “During the year, the integration of Apex Core Engineering, Franki Foundations, and Slipform Technology within the wider group further strengthened our in-house technical capability and lifecycle delivery capacity.
“These divisions, supported by our civil, MEP, and remediation teams, enable Statom to deliver complex engineering-led projects with minimal reliance on third-party contractors.
“This self-delivery approach has proven particularly valuable on major regeneration, energy, and infrastructure programmes, where technical collaboration and design assurance are critical to success.”
The group still ended the year with net assets up to £29m from £25.5m, although cash reduced to £21.3m from £27.9m after a £25.7m capital investment programme.
