What’s Your General Contracting Business Worth?
Construction businesses can be tricky to value — especially if revenue is project-based or the owner wears every hat. But when you’ve got solid financials, a reputation for execution, and projects in the pipeline, the value can be substantial.
Valuation Ranges We’re Seeing:
| Business Type | Valuation Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Owner-Operated Remodelers | 2.0x–3.0x SDE | Lower valuations if reliant on owner for sales & supervision |
| Structured Light Commercial GCs | 3.0x–4.5x EBITDA | Site managers & recurring client base drive value |
| Design/Build with In-House Team | 3.5x–5.0x EBITDA | Premium if company manages labor, estimating, and schedule internally |
💡 Project pipeline, customer concentration, lien history, and owner’s role are major value drivers, or risks, in construction business sales.
