Up to two hundred of the business’s 800 employees could be affected by this announcement, the group has said.
It is hoped that some of those jobs could be transferred to joint venture partners, while others may be relocated to existing divisions within the group.
The four Lagan companies being put into administration are: Lagan Construction Group Holdings Limited, Lagan Construction Group Limited, Lagan Building Contractors Limited and Lagan Water Limited.
