Balfour Beatty, the international engineering, construction, services and
investment group, announces today that it now expects its 2007 results will be
somewhat higher than previously expected.

Trading in all parts of the Group is strong and has been augmented by good
settlements on some completed projects.

Balfour Beatty will issue its customary year-end trading update in the early
part of January, which will contain further detail in advance of its preliminary
2007 results announcement on 5 March 2008.
