The office, which is based in Hollinwood, near Oldham, turned over £53m in its first full year after opening in January 2008.
Now it is on course to double that figure, as it remains `largely immune' from the effects of the credit crunch as a result of its strong presence in the public sector and specialism in school and leisure projects across the north west and Yorkshire.
Over the last year, it has recruited 22 staff - including planners, project managers and engineers - taking the number of employees based at the office to 58.
Operations director Anthony Dillon said: "There's no doubt that the public sector is an area within the construction industry where there continues to be a good level of spend.
"The education sector across Greater Manchester and the north west continues to be particularly buoyant."
The order book includes a £20m secondary school in St Helens and a £5m primary school on the site of Manchester City FC's former Maine Road stadium.
Mr Dillon said: "Manchester City's Maine Road stadium was such a landmark in the city, and I know that my team is really pleased it is playing a role in making sure the site continues to be an important part of the community.
"The new school will form an intrinsic part of the regeneration of Moss Side and Rusholme, which is undergoing major physical, social and economic improvements."
Other school schemes in Greater Manchester which the company is working on include a £28m scheme to build the Abraham Guest High School, in Wigan.
He added that the group's outlook for 2009 has been helped by the announcement that it has been reappointed as one of the approved contractors on Manchester city council's `framework', after beating off competition from 30 other firms.
The `framework' means that Willmott Dixon is one of five companies which can now bid for work whenever contracts are put out for tender over the next four years.
This framework, in its own right, is expected to be worth more than £100m over the next four years.
