Turning Due Diligence Into Your Competitive Edge
Due diligence is one of the most critical steps in the acquisition process, providing a comprehensive view of a construction company’s financial health, operational stability, and potential risks. Comprehensive analysis allows investors to verify all aspects of the business before committing to an acquisition, ensuring that they fully understand what they’re buying and its potential for long-term success.
For private equity firms, effective due diligence in the construction sector is essential to identify value drivers, assess liabilities, and pinpoint areas that could impact profitability. A thorough examination by construction industry experts can uncover strengths, hidden challenges, and potential risks that might otherwise go unnoticed.

How Can Ascent Help Transform Your Due Diligence Process
Culture Assessments
Culture assessments play a vital role in the pre-acquisition process by providing insight into the organizational values, behaviors, and dynamics of a construction company. A well-understood culture enables private equity firms to make more informed decisions, ensuring that leadership teams and employees are aligned for long-term success.
At Ascent Consulting, we conduct in-depth culture assessments to help investors understand if the target company’s culture aligns with their broader objectives and operational philosophies. By identifying potential cultural clashes, strengths, or areas for improvement, these assessments reduce the risk of post-acquisition conflicts and support smoother integration.
Team Assessments
Team assessments offer private equity firms an in-depth understanding of a construction company’s key personnel, providing critical insights into strengths, weaknesses, skill gaps, and development needs.
Ascent evaluates leadership teams and essential roles to determine whether the current team structure aligns with the firm’s strategic goals and can support future growth. This evaluation reduces the risk of talent-related challenges post-acquisition and informs succession planning and role alignment.
Corporate Reorganization
While our team/culture assessments evaluate the current organizational structure, Ascent utilizes these to inform and facilitate a corporate reorganization plan. Our construction experts help define a future organizational structure, providing private equity firms with a clear plan for integration and a foundation for sustained success.
Technology & Infrastructure Analysis
The construction tech experts at Ascent Consulting collaborate with private equity firms to conduct comprehensive technology and infrastructure analyses for potential acquisitions. Our analysis identifies potential gaps and deficiencies in the company’s technology stack and IT infrastructure, facilitating smoother integration and enhanced operational efficiency.
Synergy Analysis
Synergy analysis is critical in determining how well a potential acquisition aligns with a private equity firm’s existing investment portfolio. At Ascent Consulting, we evaluate the target company’s strengths, market position, and operational capabilities to identify synergies that could enhance the overall portfolio.
This analysis highlights opportunities for cross-company collaboration, shared resources, and cost efficiencies, allowing private equity firms to leverage their current investments more effectively. By ensuring strategic alignment, synergy analysis supports a more cohesive portfolio that drives value and accelerates investment growth within a firm’s portfolio.
