Private Equity Investing in Building Materials & Construction Services Companies

You’ll hear why over 80% of building materials businesses are projecting revenue increases for 2012. And why the combined residential and non-residential construction markets are projected to top $605 billion by the end of the year. Sellers are reentering the marketplace, particularly those who wanted to sell a few years ago, and don’t want to wait any longer. Moreover, lenders are no longer shying away -- they’re seeing the upside and are willing to back a wide range of companies if they can show profitability. And of course, building materials and construction professionals are feeling positive about their companies’ futures. A year-end survey by Brooke Chase Associates showed 81% of respondents -- both builders and product manufacturers -- forecasting increased revenues for 2012.
