New Platform or Add-On Opportunity: Commercial HVAC & Mechanical Contracting Platform — ~$7.2MM Adj. EBITDA Founded in 2008 and headquartered in central Pennsylvania, the Company is a non-union, merit-shop commercial HVAC and mechanical contractor serving public-sector customers throughout the state. It contracts directly with public owners—never as a subcontractor to a general contractor—and self-performs sheet metal and piping installation across K-12 schools, state universities, and government facilities. The Company is differentiated by its bonding capacity, prevailing-wage workforce, direct owner relationships, and nearly 20-year history. Its approximately 50-person organization includes 44 field technicians, four superintendents, an experienced management team, and in-house estimating and AutoCAD MEP coordination. Larger equipment is rented as needed, supporting an asset-light model. For LTM June 2026, the Company generated $53.5 million of revenue and $7.2 million of Adjusted EBITDA, a 13.5% margin. Revenue grew 94.7% from FY2023, while Adjusted EBITDA increased from $1.9 million. Approximately $73.5 million of signed backlog—1.4x LTM revenue—plus more than $100 million of active contracts provides visibility through 2028 and into 2029. Key KPIs - $53.5 million LTM revenue - $7.2 million LTM Adjusted EBITDA / 13.5% margin - 94.7% revenue growth since FY2023 - $73.5 million contracted backlog / 1.4x LTM revenue - $100+ million of active contracts - $37.0 million largest contract / $12.2 million average won project - Approximately 50 employees, including 44 field technicians - 6.4 years average employee tenure - 67% K-12 / 33% state-government revenue mix Why the Project-Based Model Is Attractive The project-based model is particularly attractive to a commercial MEP service acquirer. Projects are publicly awarded, bonded, and contracted before execution, and the $73.5 million backlog provides unusual forward visibility. The Company targets larger, multiyear projects, generating meaningful revenue from fewer jobs and concentrating management attention on high-value contracts. Direct-to-owner contracting also eliminates the general-contractor intermediary and strengthens customer relationships. The project portfolio creates a built-in channel for recurring aftermarket revenue. Each completed installation expands the base of facilities requiring maintenance, repairs, replacement, emergency response, controls, and energy-efficiency work. The Company currently generates no service revenue, creating a significant cross-sell opportunity. An acquirer could introduce plumbing, electrical, controls, commissioning, and facility-maintenance services into active projects, future bids, and existing customer relationships. This would increase revenue per customer and create a more balanced mix of contracted construction and recurring service revenue. A buyer would also acquire nearly two decades of history, an experienced management team, bonding capacity, a skilled workforce, direct-owner relationships, and tremendous backlog. New Platform or Strategic Add-On As a new platform, the Company offers meaningful EBITDA scale, retained leadership, self-performed capabilities, bonding capacity, in-house estimating and CAD, an asset-light model, and organic and acquisition growth opportunities. It could serve as a foundation for adding HVAC service, plumbing, electrical, controls, and other MEP businesses. As an add-on, the Company would provide an established MEP or facilities-services platform with public-sector prime-contracting capabilities, skilled labor, Pennsylvania density, and substantial backlog. A buyer could cross-sell recurring services, add complementary trades, leverage centralized resources, and pursue larger projects through expanded capacity and bonding support.

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.
Trucks, heavy equipment, and related-party rent distort earnings. Tour the fleet, check deferred maintenance, and stress the discretionary earnings.
