Leveraging a Business Opportunity Assessment for Next Level Growth

The building materials and construction industry has experienced a frenzy of M&A activity — such as recent announcements from The Home Depot acquiring SRS Distribution, Owens Corning acquiring Masonite, and MITER Brands acquiring PGT.

A thorough business opportunity assessment is essential for identifying and validating the best opportunities to support the next level of growth for your company.

What is a Business Opportunity Assessment?

Our approach provides a formal disciplined framework to evaluate a broad list of potential tuck-ins, adjacencies, or a new platform business.
