We guide medium-sized enterprises throughout the entire chain, from construction-related services and building material wholesalers to real estate, on matters concerning M&A, financing, and valuation. For example, we advised DSG on the acquisitions of Verhulst Bouwmaterialen, Alblas Hout, and Bouwcenter Blauwhoff, and we were involved in Aertgeerts.

The construction and real estate sector is under pressure from growing demand, sustainability requirements, and structural shortages. Grid capacity, nitrogen regulations, permit restrictions, labor shortages, and rising costs make projects more complex and squeeze margins, while the focus is shifting from new construction to maintenance and management. Many medium-sized businesses are too small to take on large contracts independently or to bear the necessary investments alone, making scaling up through an acquisition or merger a logical step. We support entrepreneurs in construction and real estate with precisely that step, from finding the right partner to arranging the required financing, and we are happy to think along early about the next step to take.

Our experience translates into tangible benefits. We know what buyers and financiers take into account, how the shift toward maintenance and management affects the quality of cash flows and consequently the valuation, and how best to position a company within the chain. As a result, we act swiftly, offer targeted advice on scale, positioning, and sustainability, and ensure that entrepreneurs enter a complex and often once-in-a-lifetime process with a strong negotiating position and confidence.
