No. 18 months means 12 months. There are penalty clauses and bonus clauses these days so the quote is *huge* and then, surprise surprise, they come in EARLY! Baldock bypass for example.
Plenty more money in the early finishing bonus easily achieved by quoting 2.5 years for a 1 year project that takes you 18 months... Then there's the speeding fines too which probably pay for the labour...

I went through that section today. I think the signs said "60 weeks", so about 1y 2mths. Nice. And with roadworks on the M1 and M40 as well.
I noticed that some of the 40 signs had green stickers on the backs with company details on. I think I recall that signs can only have specific things on the back in order to be legal. If these signs were found not to be legal, would a court still uphold a speeding ticket? (I'm sure the scammers would prosecute whatever).
On a similar subject, if a speed limit only has a sign on one side of the road at one of the entries, can the limit be enforced at all? I've noticed 2 limits near me where this is the case, though at all other entries there are the requisite 2 signs. A technicality I agree, but speeding is a technicality if it doesn't cause any adverse impact.
