FAQs

How much does it cost to buy a construction business in California?

Prices vary depending on sales volume and financial performance, but the median asking price for a construction business in California is approximately $837,500.

How much do building and construction company owners earn?

These businesses vary in construction volume, but California construction company owners report median annual sales of $1,700,000 and annual owner earnings of $340,000. These figures are based on businesses that have listed their annual revenue and seller's discretionary earnings.

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.
