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.

Revenue multiples in the building and construction industry typically range from 0.33 to 0.87, with the median at 0.55. Earnings multiples range from 1.76 to 3.53, with the median at 2.68.
