Construction

The Construction Industry Practice (CIP) at GMB is dedicated exclusively to providing financial advisory services for Materials, Products, Equipment, Design and Services companies. To date, we have completed approximately $1.6 billion in merger and acquisition transactions and financings for construction industry clients nationwide.

Since the formation of the CIP in 2002, our average transaction size has been approximately $90 million with a range of $25 million to $275 million, and transaction multiples of 4.5x EBITDA to as high as 10.0x EBITDA. Nearly two-thirds of these M & A transactions were completed with private equity investors; the remainder were completed with strategic acquirers such as Wienerberger AG in Austria, Boral Ltd. in Australia and Volvo AB in Sweden.

"We selected the GMB Construction Industry Practice for their industry expertise and they exceeded our expectations. While orchestrating a broad marketing process, GMB set and met an aggressive timetable for the transaction. They earned the respect of our management team and ultimately helped negotiate and close a transaction at the high end of our valuation expectations. We are very pleased with the outcome and believe that GMB played a critical role in our successful exit."
