FAQs

How do I value a building and construction business?
Valuing a building and construction business involves considering several factors, including annual sales volume, profit, growth (or decline) trends, and historical stability. Brokers, business owners, and business buyers will typically rely on valuation multiples to gauge business value relative to similar businesses in the market. Revenue multiples in the California building and construction industry typically range from 0.35 to 0.82, with the median at 0.49. Earnings multiples range from 2.00 to 3.65, with the median at 2.88.
