Buy and Build
Targeted acquisitions and integration
The buy and build strategy is an effective approach for investors and companies seeking to achieve sustainable value growth in the largely fragmented extended construction industry. This is achieved through targeted acquisitions and integration, which enables the realisation of synergies, an increase in market share, and a subsequent boost in operational efficiency. With our extensive experience and in-depth market knowledge, we develop and implement bespoke strategies that are precisely tailored to the individual goals of our clients.
Problem
In practice, the identification of suitable target companies, successful process management with the owners, and the integration of add-ons often present significant challenges when implementing a buy and build strategy.
Buy and Build Strategy
We provide comprehensive support for buy and build strategies, from the identification of potential takeover targets to the conceptualisation of post-merger integration. In the construction and construction supply industry, small-scale customer structures and an often low level of professionalisation require special attention. We ensure comprehensive transaction preparation, manage the process with the seller through to completion, and develop targeted integration strategies. We also take on internal functions to ensure a smooth process.
With our support, investors are able to identify suitable platform and add-on candidates and convince them of the sustainable added value of the group integration through industry-specific concepts. Our approach includes in-depth market analyses, detailed due diligence and the development of integrated plans to realise growth efficiently and successfully. We provide our clients with continuous support to ensure long-term success.
