The construction industry in North America has been facing a complex set of challenges and pressures as it gains momentum through 2024. From evolving market demands to overhead cost pressures, those who are leading the way are making strategic shifts to remain competitive, grow, acquire talent/capabilities and enter new markets. One of the shifts we have seen are companies expanding capacity through a Merger or Acquisition. While this can be advantageous if done right, some are finding out the hard way, and experiencing the following frustrations leading to less than desirable results.
More energy focused on what isn’t working versus benefiting from shared learnings
More systems to learn and implement than gains from combined synergies
Customers voicing “this feels different” versus seeing improvements
Added complexities causing issues with communication, decision making, and process standardization
Unclear expectations impacting timelines, quality, construction budget and margins
If any of this sounds familiar, you likely need to take a step back and review your organization’s playbook for how to integrate these new entities.
