The impact of the Carillion collapse will be felt across the South West.
The company lies behind numerous construction and public services in the region.
For example, six schools were rebuilt in Exeter by Carillion under a private finance initiative, although its maintenance work was later taken over by another company.
As well as schools, other projects include the maintenance of prisons - Channings Wood near Newton Abbout, Dartmoor and Exeter - as well as providing infrastructure and housing services to the armed forces.
And Carillion was behind the £27m Camborne to Redruth link road in Cornwall, as well as Hayle's North Quay redevelopment.
The Devon and Cornwall Business Council estimates that up to 200 jobs are at risk in Devon and Cornwall from the collapse. However, the impact will also be felt in the supply chain and those affected by any bad debt of the company.
Government minister David Lidington said all employees should keep coming to work and would continue to get paid. He added that staff that are engaged on public sector contracts "still have important work to do."
