Valuing a construction company is often a complex and arduous task. While earnings are a key component of the valuation process, a company’s market position, management depth, safety record, internal controls, self-performance capabilities, geographic presence, and other factors are critical to determining a contractor’s value. During this session, we will explore many of those factors and provide insights on what buyers are looking for (and what they aren’t) when they enter the acquisition market.

Contractors that seek out and perform work in new geographic markets must be prepared for all types of downsides: unfamiliar subcontractors and vendors, long-distance management, labor markets, local permitting and inspecting, and legal requirements (e.g., lien, bond, insurance, retainage, prompt pay, notices, bid protests, etc.). Contractors that don’t "sweat the details" in advance can expect to face big problems.
