Why Civil & Construction M&A Needs a Specialized Approach

M&A in civil and construction isn’t like other sectors. Deals must account for:

  • Project backlog and work-in-progress (WIP)

  • Bonding and surety requirements

  • Long-term contracts and retainage

  • Equipment and fleet valuation

  • Safety, environmental, and compliance records

Skilled workforce retention
