As previous leaders "Yamama" slipped back after losing out on a key bid, the team that had been close on their heels, "Apex Team", took full advantage to storm into the lead with 1,565 pts after impressive 7% growth, but although they have opened up a 78 point gap to the chasing pack, led by the "QCC (Qatar Construction Company)" in second who maintained their upward trend, it is not yet a winning lead, and it is all still to play for in the final round.

In a period of mixed results, "Neobuilt" matched the new leaders in posting the joint best performance in the quarter, 7% growth to climb 4 places to 4th, and the largest positional gain was made by "GCC Builders" with 6% growth that enabled them to move well away from the foot of the table.

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