Construction

Overview

Throughout the years, Morgan & Westfield has had significant success in the construction and contracting sectors. Our specialists know what buyers are seeking in this area, and we work hard to build relationships that offer the best outcomes for our clients, helping owners of construction companies reach their financial and personal goals when selling their businesses.

The construction industry has matured

Many segments have experienced major merger and acquisition activity in recent years as the industry experiences consolidation and steady growth. Increased margin pressures and technology-driven innovations will most likely increase M&A opportunities. Government investment in infrastructure, combined with pent-up demand, is promoting unparalleled growth throughout the industry.

The construction and contracting sector is moderately regulated, with the majority of regulations focusing on employee and workplace health and safety standards. The construction market is strongly influenced by macroeconomic conditions, including government spending, foreign direct investment, and interest rates. Larger companies have strengthened and consolidated their competitiveness and positions by acquiring smaller companies. This trend will most likely continue in this highly fragmented sector, where capabilities such as size, service offering, and geographical presence are the main success factors.

While the market remains significantly fragmented, economic expansion will continue to spur consolidation in the industry. The current environment makes it the optimal time for sellers to exit the sector. At Morgan & Westfield, we understand the nuts and bolts of construction businesses and streamline sales by educating lenders and buyers on these issues. We have a large network of qualified buyers searching for profitable and solid construction trade companies to acquire – from companies in acquisition mode and entrepreneurial individuals to private equity firms.

Our construction practice focuses on firms in the commercial, residential, infrastructure, and industrial sectors, and our clients include those involved in both residential and commercial construction, as well as large corporations. We can present your business in its best light, help you find the strongest buyer, get the most attractive deal, and lead you through the closing process to a successful sale.

At Morgan & Westfield, we understand the uniqueness of every company’s culture and the need to find the best fit with an acquiring firm.

We also recognize the importance of the leadership team’s succession plan, a critical factor for the continued long-term success of transitioning firms. Our network of investors and expert advisors is the foundation of our success. As we assist our clients with maneuvering through this diversified market sector to obtain their exit objectives, maximize the value of their company, and ensure its growth and continuity.
