About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 27
- Employees
- 24 Full-time
- Facilities & Assets
- Operations run from leased office space in California, with yard and storage for the company's fleet. A well-maintained fleet of heavy equipment and support vehicles is included in the sale, representing a lean, owned cost base with no inventory to purchase. A couple of personal-use vehicles are excluded from the sale.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Demand is driven by aging infrastructure, regulatory compliance requirements, and public-agency capital budgets rather than discretionary spending. The company competes in a specialized niche against a modest field of established contractors; a long completed-project history serves as a qualification barrier for newcomers on many public bids. Public work is awarded on low bid, so reputation and qualifications widen access to opportunities rather than guarantee them.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Several growth levers identified by the owner remain untapped, including adjacent public-sector project categories, a complementary service line that leverages existing equipment and expertise, and expansion into neighboring markets. Adding estimating capacity is the practical unlock, since the company's track record already qualifies it for larger scopes than it routinely pursues.

About the Sale

- Transition Support
- The seller will provide a structured transition covering estimating, safety administration, and key vendor/insurance relationships, and has committed to financial incentives to keep long-tenured employees in place. A buyer will need to build out chief estimating capacity and qualify for the contractor's license and bonding.
