Consolidating a
fragmented industry

The UK construction sector is rich with exceptional, founder-led businesses that have been built over decades — yet remain underscaled relative to their potential. Aedis exists to change that.

We identify, acquire, and grow established construction SMEs through a disciplined buy-and-build strategy. By combining complementary businesses under one high-performing platform, we unlock synergies, shared resources, and market reach that no individual company could achieve alone.

Our target: reaching £30M EBITDA and executing a value-maximising exit — delivering outstanding returns for founders, management teams, and investors.

01
Identify
Proven SMEs with strong fundamentals and 20+ year track records
02
Acquire
Fair, structured deals that honour founder legacy and unlock equity value
03
Integrate
Shared platforms, procurement power, and operational excellence
04
Exit
Strategic exit at scale — delivering superior returns across the group
The Aedis Roadmap
1
Platform Establishment
Acquire 2–3 anchor businesses forming the Aedis core group. Establish shared back-office, finance, and procurement infrastructure.
2
Scale & Bolt-On Acquisitions
Add complementary regional specialists and trade disciplines. Accelerate growth through joint ventures where full acquisition isn't appropriate.
3
Operational Excellence
Deploy professional management, technology, and reporting. Drive margin improvement across the portfolio through group buying power.
4
£30M EBITDA Exit
Achieve the scale and profile to attract strategic buyers or private equity at premium multiples — maximising returns for all stakeholders.

Who we partner with

We seek established, profitable construction businesses that have stood the test of time — run by founders who are proud of what they've built and ready for the next chapter.

EBITDA Range
£500k–£2.5M
Profitable, cash-generative businesses with a clear and auditable earnings track record. Both growing and stable businesses welcomed.
Trading History
20+ Years
We value longevity. Businesses with deep client relationships, repeat revenue, and a reputation built across market cycles.
Business Size
SME Focused
Typically businesses with revenues between £2M and £15M — large enough to have substance, small enough to benefit from group scale.
Deal Structure
Flexible
Full acquisitions, majority stakes, or joint ventures. We structure deals to suit the founder's goals — including retained equity, earn-outs, and phased exits.
Geography
UK-Wide
Active across England, Scotland, and Wales. We are sector-focused rather than geographically restricted — regional specialists particularly welcome.
Succession Fit
All Stages
Whether you're planning retirement, seeking a growth partner, or looking for operational support — we offer a genuine route to the next chapter.

More than an
acquisition

Selling a business you've spent decades building is one of the most significant decisions you'll ever make. We take that seriously. Our approach is built on respect for what you've created — and a genuine commitment to taking it further.

01
Your legacy is protected
We preserve your company name, team, and culture. We're builders, not asset-strippers. The businesses we acquire continue to trade and thrive under the Aedis umbrella.
02
A true partner, not just a buyer
Whether you want a clean exit or to stay on and help grow the platform, we accommodate your goals. Many founders choose to retain equity and share in the group's upside.
03
Access to group resources
From procurement leverage and shared finance functions to business development and technology — your team gains the benefits of scale without losing their identity.
04
Speed and certainty
We are experienced acquirers who move with purpose. We won't waste your time with endless process — our deals are structured, decisive, and founder-friendly.
05
Sector expertise at the table
Our leadership team has deep roots in UK construction. We understand the nuances of your business — from bonding requirements to contract structures — and we speak your language.

"We are not a private equity fund with a five-year horizon and a spreadsheet. We are operators and builders who understand what it takes to run a construction business — and we're here for the long term."
