The top 10 recorded 238 project commencements,&nbsp;totalling&nbsp;$4.7 billion in combined value. With only a marginal decrease in&nbsp;totals&nbsp;year-on-year, firms continue to focus on pipeline resilience in the face of significant market headwinds.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reclaiming its position as number one builder, Naylor Love saw just over $1 billion in project commencements.
