Civil Engineering and Construction Firms for Sale

Mergers & Acquisitions – Civil Engineering & Construction Companies

We have sold a number of Civil Engineering & Construction companies. From our experience in the industry working with a variety of types of companies, we always have buyers and sellers in this sector. Our job is to match up the right buyer with the right seller and negotiate terms that work for both parties. We typically have multiple offers for our assignments, and you can’t always predict who will have the best offer.

There are different motivations for acquiring a civil engineering firm or civil construction company. In some cases, the buyers are growing rapidly by acquiring multiple civil engineering firms. In other cases, it might be someone’s first acquisition, and they are eager to get started with the right target company. Acquirers want to leverage what the other company has to offer. So one company may have expertise in designing and constructing bridges, roads, and tunnels, and another company might have experience in dams, reservoirs, and wastewater treatment.

They are also interested in acquiring the customers of the new company so that they can cross-sell each other customers and more effectively sign new customers with a greater scope of work that they can provide. So a civil engineering company might merge with a civil construction company so that they can handle a large project with in-house resources without the need for as many subcontractors.
