The EVZ Group was continually challenged during the half-year by delays with contracts being awarded and work commencing despite having a robust pipeline of work across its businesses. These delays have in turn reduced available work resulting in increased competition and margin pressure. This scenario is expected to continue for the remainder of FY13.
