You have built a construction company with experienced crews, customer relationships, and a reputation that took years to earn. Selling it should start with understanding its value and finding buyers who can carry the business forward. Synergy Business Brokers helps construction company owners evaluate their options, market confidentially, compare offers, and negotiate the price and terms of a sale.
During our 15-step sales process, we can usually reach step 9, introducing qualified buyers, within 1 to 8 weeks. The timing depends on your business and buyer interest, and we guide you through reviewing offers, completing due diligence, and closing the sale. Our M&A advisory services support you through those stages while you continue running your company.
Our experience selling construction and related businesses helps us understand what matters to both owners and buyers: dependable earnings, capable managers, project quality, customer relationships, and a practical transition plan. We help you consider whether you want to retire after a handover or continue working with a new owner. Synergy has more than two decades of experience selling companies across a variety of industries, including the construction sectors below:
Our construction businesses sold include contractors with different specialties, ownership goals, and transition needs.
Maspeth Supply Company: This New York City water-and-sewer construction company generated approximately $50 million in annual revenue. When the initial buyer could not obtain financing, Synergy reengaged a qualified backup buyer and received an above-asking offer within hours. The transaction moved through bonding-transfer and working-capital challenges to closing.
Iron Pony: This Virginia concrete finishing, polishing, sealing, and painting contractor generated over $15 million in annual revenue. Synergy produced three letters of intent, and the competition helped the owner sell above the asking price. The transaction closed in approximately ten months.
AAES Engineering: The majority owner wanted to retire while the minority partner wanted to remain involved. Synergy generated multiple offers and found a construction company seeking to expand its engineering capabilities. The agreement provided a continuing role for the minority partner and terms that satisfied both owners.
American Concrete Pumping: The owner of this commercial and residential concrete pumping business wanted to retire. Synergy marketed the company, identified multiple suitable buyers, and helped the owner find the right match for a business supporting floors, walls, and foundations.
Interstate Heating & Cooling: This company performed approximately 600 installations annually, along with service and repair work. The buyer wanted to expand in New York, and the owner agreed to stay for a year on salary and commission. The sale closed in approximately four months.
Selling a construction business is a multistep process. The more you prepare your company for the sale, the smoother the transition will be. Follow these steps on how to sell a construction company to achieve the best possible result.
A construction company may appeal to a larger contractor expanding into your region, a business adding a complementary specialty, or an investment group building its presence in the industry. The fit depends on your company’s services, management, customers, and financial performance.
Synergy helps you evaluate more than the headline offer. We discuss the buyer’s ability to complete the transaction, plans for employees, expectations for your continued involvement, and the proposed payment terms so you can make an informed decision.
