Established East Texas Commercial General Contractor, 15-Year Public-Sector Builder

Full Editorial Writeup

This is a commercial general contracting firm based in East Texas that has run continuously since 2010, primarily serving public and institutional clients. The company holds prequalified vendor status with TxDOT, Region 7, and TIPS, and carries bonding capacity north of $30 million, which lets it chase a diversified mix of schools, municipal buildings, churches, retail, and government-funded infrastructure. Most revenue comes from competitively bid public-sector contracts, with the balance from negotiated work and repeat clients.

The business does roughly $17.4 million in revenue and $2.13 million in cash flow, a healthy ~12% owner-earnings margin for a GC that has to win most work on price. It runs lean with 15 full-time office and field staff, several of whom have a decade or more of tenure, plus about $1.2 million in machinery, vehicles, and equipment. The facility is leased at $3,500 a month, so this is a pure operating-business sale with no real estate wrapped into the price.

The headline risk is concentration: the listing openly states a single local school district has accounted for the large majority of business over the past several years, and the current owner is deeply hands-on across bidding, financials, and field operations. That combination of customer concentration plus owner dependence is what any buyer needs to underwrite carefully, but the underlying public-sector demand (record $18.6B in Texas school bonds and a $101.6B TxDOT 10-year plan) gives the pipeline real depth.
