Construction Value-For-Money Index

The Construction Value-For-Money Index highlights the companies getting the best - and worst - value out of their bosses.

The index is based on a simple formula: the company's pre-tax profit divided by the total cost of its highest paid director's package of pay, bonus and pension.

We've published the top 20 companies - those getting the best value from their bosses, and underneath, the bottom 20 - those getting the worst value.
