Confidential
SOUTHEAST U.S. • MULTI-STATE FOOTPRINT
A founder-led commercial construction platform with nearly four decades of operating history, delivering exterior cladding (stucco, EIFS, weather barrier and stone), metal stud framing, drywall and structural fireproofing to developers and general contractors across a multi-state Southeast footprint. Three integrated operating units share cross-trained labor, an in-house quality model, and a deep base of repeat commercial customers.

MULTI-DECADE OPERATING HISTORY WITH DEEP CUSTOMER REPEAT
Nearly 40 years of continuous operation in commercial construction, with a high concentration of repeat developer and general-contractor customers. Long-tenured relationships, an established regional reputation, and an entrenched bidding profile create defensible win rates against transient competitors in metal stud, drywall and exterior cladding scopes.
INTEGRATED THREE-UNIT PLATFORM WITH SHARED LABOR MODEL
Three integrated operating units - exterior cladding & framing, manufactured stone, and structural fireproofing share a cross-trained labor pool, project management team, and quality control infrastructure. Cross-allocation of W-2 craft labor across units improves utilization, smooths revenue cyclicality, and supports bundled scope wins on larger commercial projects.
IN-HOUSE QUALITY MODEL & W-2 CRAFT WORKFORCE
Founder-led shift away from piecework subcontracting toward an in-house, cross-trained W-2 workforce delivers superior finish quality, talent retention, and brand differentiation versus the broader 'fly-by-night' competitive set in metal stud and drywall. Approximately 60 full-time W-2 employees supplemented by ~65 contractors provide flex capacity without sacrificing quality control.
FIREPROOFING SEGMENT RE-IGNITION WITH HIGH-MARGIN BACKLOG
The structural fireproofing unit was previously paused and is now in active re-ramp with a meaningful contracted backlog. Management projects $1.0M–$1.5M in segment revenue in the coming year at 35–40% gross margins - a high-margin recurring contributor that materially upgrades blended platform economics as it scales.
NEAR-TERM EBITDA STEP-UP THESIS
Combined adjusted EBITDA is currently ~$425K on $13.6M revenue, with management projecting a step-up to roughly $1.0M–$1.2M within 1-2 years as the fireproofing and stone segments scale to ~$1.5M each at higher margins. The path to materially expanded EBITDA is supported by an existing platform, in-place labor, and a re-engaged backlog rather than greenfield investment.
