 * Keep -- It may not be a good article, but that implies improvement, not deletion. This is not a small builder.  With the amount of subcontracting in the building industry, a company with 1400 staff may well be giving work to many more people than that.  Peterkingiron (talk) 12:38, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep -- Like Peterkingiron said, this is not a small builder - circa $1 billion in revenue, 1400 employees. There's plenty of references indicating that they are the main contractor on some very large notable projects. The article could do with some expansion and improvement (removing some of the bits that could be considered as advertising). TubularWorld (talk) 13:18, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
