Project Lyra has operated successfully in bridge construction for 47 years, focusing on projects up to $6M for both public and private clients in Texas. The company maintains low employee turnover and strong client relationships by consistently delivering quality projects on time. Their experienced team and established processes create reliable results across all projects.
As a prime contractor working directly with owners and developers, Project Lyra has built a stable position in the infrastructure sector. Their current operations run efficiently, but offer significant room for modernization and growth.
We've identified clear opportunities to expand the business through new project management software, increased production capacity, and broader marketing efforts. With existing demand already exceeding current capacity, we expect to grow revenue to $7M+ within five years. This growth will be supported by the current owner's involvement in the first year and our operational improvements.
This acquisition opportunity centers on a long-established steel building erection company in North Carolina with a strong reputation and steady client relationships. The business has operated for over five decades, supported by a loyal workforce with very low turnover, and has remained consistently profitable.
Despite its strengths, the company has not modernized its technology or built out a dedicated sales function, leaving clear room for improvement. With strategic investment in efficiency tools, dedicated sales staff, and stronger cost management, the business is well-positioned to scale operations, expand its regional presence, and grow significantly over the next several years. The stability of its current operations combined with obvious growth levers makes it an attractive platform for building long-term value.
This target is a long-standing road and bridge construction company in the U.S. Virgin Islands, with a reputation for quality work and strong barriers to entry for competitors. Operating for over four decades, the business specializes in asphalt paving, runways, and concrete bridge construction, and has built a reliable team with very low turnover. While profitable and well-positioned, the company has seen limited modernization and underutilizes some of its assets, presenting opportunities for operational upgrades.
Growth potential lies in taking on a larger share of projects with existing clients, expanding into Puerto Rico, leveraging a substantial backlog of federal infrastructure funding, and improving efficiency with better project management systems. With the right leadership development and workforce scaling, the company is positioned to more than double in size over the next several years, offering a clear path to significant value creation.
Project Aurora is a long-standing steel fabrication and erection business with deep roots in commercial and institutional construction. Over several decades, it has earned a strong reputation for dependable execution, supported by a cross-trained workforce and long-standing client relationships. The company consistently delivers complex structural and miscellaneous steel projects, maintaining trust with repeat customers across education, infrastructure, and private development markets.
While operations are steady and customer demand remains strong, the business still relies on legacy processes and key individuals, presenting a clear opportunity for modernization. We see substantial potential to evolve Aurora into a more scalable platform through enhanced project management systems, productized building packages, and formal business unit structure. With improved operational visibility and targeted expansion into standardized metal building offerings, Aurora is positioned to increase capacity, broaden its market reach, and strengthen succession planning—transitioning from a traditional family operation to a professionally managed growth enterprise.
