Engineering & Construction

The opportunities for engineering and construction companies to grow and succeed are nearly boundless today. But attracting the talent to compete for large, lucrative contracts has never been more challenging. CCA understands what drives value in the engineering and construction sector—and we can help you scale to seize growth opportunities now, while building long-term value, planning for a smooth succession or exit, and achieving a successful outcome when it’s time to sell.

Discover how CCA helps engineering and construction businesses achieve their goals.

We Know Your Industry

Most middle market engineering and construction firms face similar challenges: The talent crunch that constrains how much a consulting-based or labor-intensive business can grow. The scale needed to win large contracts, especially in transportation and infrastructure. The demand to diversify capabilities and expand services to stay competitive. The struggle for owners to focus on leading the company today while planning for an exit tomorrow.

All the while, investing in transportation, utilities, water/wastewater projects, and other essential infrastructure is high on the federal government’s agenda, creating unprecedented industry tailwinds.

It takes the right partner to help you overcome talent acquisition challenges, scale effectively, move quickly to capitalize on market opportunities, and succeed in a fast-changing environment. Middle market engineering and construction companies choose CCA as that partner.

The corporate advisory and investment banking experts in our Engineering and Construction Practice regularly advise construction companies, general contractors, specialty construction service contractors, and material suppliers and firms that provide planning, engineering, construction, surveying and inspection services.

We’ve completed countless engagements for businesses that span the entire spectrum of engineering and construction specialties, including mechanical, electrical, structural, environmental, geo-technical, transportation, and land development.
