Southeast / Metal Roofing Supply / ADD ON / ~$1.5MM Adj. EBITDA Company Overview The Company is a vertically integrated metal roofing manufacturer and supplier serving contractors and homeowners across the Southeast, with a strategic footprint spanning South Georgia and North Florida. Operating from a high-traffic, dual-state location near a major interstate corridor, the business benefits from strong regional demand and cross-border customer flow driven by pricing advantages and regulatory product approvals.  The Company manufactures metal roofing panels in-house and distributes complementary products including trim, accessories, and structural components. This vertically integrated model enables same-day fulfillment, tighter quality control, and superior margins relative to pure distribution competitors. Manufacturing accounts for the majority of revenue, with the balance derived from resale of third-party products.  With over two decades of operating history, the Company has built a strong reputation supported by contractor relationships, walk-in retail demand, and consistent referral channels. Approximately half of revenue is generated from out-of-state customers, supported by regulatory approvals that create a defensible competitive moat and attract cross-border demand.  The business operates a lean, cross-trained workforce and generates predictable cash flow through a diversified mix of contractor volume orders and higher-margin residential sales. The model is further supported by 100% cash-pay revenue and minimal working capital complexity.  The Company operates within a large, fragmented and non-discretionary building products market, benefiting from structural tailwinds including storm-driven reroofing demand, energy efficiency trends, and aging housing stock replacement cycles.

Southwest / Water Infrastructure & Environmental Services / Platform / ~$0.68MM Adj. EBITDA Company Overview The Company is a Southwest-based provider of water infrastructure maintenance and environmental services, specializing in the rehabilitation, monitoring, and ongoing operation of water wells and treatment systems for mining, municipal, and industrial clients. Operating from a centralized hub in Arizona, the business serves critical infrastructure across regional mining districts and municipalities, supporting essential water supply and regulatory compliance functions.  Founded in the late 1990s, the Company has established a leading regional position through deep technical expertise, long-tenured customer relationships, and a deliberate focus on maintenance and rehabilitation rather than capital-intensive drilling. This asset-light approach enables strong margins, high returns on capital, and consistent free cash flow generation.  The business generates highly predictable revenue through long-term operation and maintenance (O&M) contracts, which account for approximately 80% of total revenue. These contracts are tied to non-discretionary production and regulatory requirements, resulting in strong customer retention, with over half of clients maintained for more than 15 years.  Services are delivered through three integrated divisions: wellfield services, environmental contracting, and instrumentation & controls. The Company’s workforce is fully certified (OSHA, HAZWOPER, MSHA), and it maintains specialized licenses that create significant barriers to entry and limit competition.  The Company operates within a large and growing water infrastructure market, supported by structural tailwinds including aging infrastructure, groundwater depletion, and increased demand from mining and industrial activity, particularly in the Southwest.

Midwest / Commercial Grinding Business / ADD ON / $2.56MM ADJ EBITDA Company Overview The business is a specialized infrastructure services provider focused on asphalt and concrete milling across key Midwestern markets. Operating as a critical subcontractor to paving contractors, the company removes and prepares surfaces for roadway and parking lot resurfacing projects, serving both public sector agencies and blue-chip commercial clients. The platform has developed a strong competitive position within a niche segment characterized by high barriers to entry, including specialized equipment requirements, union-trained labor, and long-standing relationships with departments of transportation and national accounts. The business benefits from a preferred vendor model, where paving contractors repeatedly outsource milling work to trusted partners, creating durable, repeat project flow and limited competitive bidding pressure. Revenue is diversified across public infrastructure and private commercial work. Public sector contracts provide volume stability through multi-year budgets, while commercial projects deliver premium pricing and faster payment cycles. As shown in the revenue mix charts on page 4, approximately 60% of revenue is derived from public sector work and ~40% from private customers, with a balanced mix of full-day and partial-day engagements driving consistent utilization.  Operationally, the company runs a scalable, asset-backed model supported by a fleet of specialized milling equipment, experienced crews, and centralized administrative functions. With dual operating locations and the ability to share equipment and labor across markets, the platform maintains high utilization and operational flexibility. The business has demonstrated consistent growth and profitability, positioning it as an attractive platform within a fragmented and consolidating infrastructure services market.

Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating building and construction business acquisitions.
Signed contracts, change-order patterns, and bonding capacity tell you what you're really buying; a big trailing year with an empty pipeline is a trap, and bonding is often tied to the owner personally.
Many trades require a licensed qualifier that may leave with the seller. Verify what you must hold before you can legally operate.
A plumbing or HVAC company with a service-and-maintenance base is worth far more than one living on new-construction bids — service agreements generate steady recurring revenue and replacement leads.
Receivables, retainage, and work-in-process tie up real cash between billing and collection; establish the need and whether it's in the deal.
The estimator, project managers, and lead crews carry the business. Identify the key people, their pay, and retention after close.
