Construction

Our Expertise

Strategic thinking from concept to completion

Construction companies like yours are no stranger to business challenges. Labor shortages, staff turnover, rising material costs, new technology — this level of change requires proactive ideas that will help your business grow, make decisions, and manage risk. Our experts can help you tackle all of these objectives, and that’s why construction companies choose to work with us.

With 100 years of industry experience, we’re recognized as one of Construction Executive’s Top 50 Construction Accounting Firms. Our 350-member construction team serves more than 1,100 construction clients nationwide, including general contractors, specialty trade contractors, heavy highway and civil contractors, home builders, and material suppliers. These companies are a mix of family-owned, investor- or private equity-owned, and ESOP-owned. Using our strong foundation of expertise, we’ll work with you to design and build strategic solutions that scale to your needs.

Plus, through facilitating national peer networking groups and speaking engagements at events across the country, we continually grow and share our insights on construction industry trends. We’re also involved in the Construction Financial Management Association (CFMA), Association of General Contractors (AGC), Urban Land Institute (ULI), and more. Our partners have made construction businesses the cornerstone of their careers — and you’ll feel that dedication in every interaction you have with us.

Build, grow, and sustain success

As you work to grow your organization, it’s important to stay on top of evolving industry trends and regulations. Here’s how we’ll work with you to make that happen.

Adopt new technology to stay ahead of the competition

Historically, construction companies have adopted new technology slowly. Concerns over managing technology without losing data are always present, but now there’s pressure to adopt, learn, and scale rapidly. It’s important to understand the benefits of digital transformation and how a strategic approach promotes smoother integration.

Retain top talent with labor shortage solutions

Your company is only as good as your staff. Now more than ever, construction companies often struggle to find and retain skilled workers and effectively steer succession planning, impacting project timelines and costs. We can help you explore strategies to attract, retain, and develop staff who can positively impact your organization.

Stay current with changing regulations

Construction industry regulations constantly evolve, and keeping up can be time-consuming and complex. From climate disclosures to tax credits and beyond, we’ll equip you with strategies to stay compliant and proactive.

Unlock the benefits of data-driven decision-making

Smart business decisions start with well-organized, accurate data. Insulate your organization from the ever-evolving technology landscape with data you own and trust. Our analytics capabilities can help support growth, increase profit margin, and manage risk.

Our clients say
Plante Moran has been one of our most valued partners for the last 18 years. They’re so much more than a traditional audit, tax, and accounting firm. Their understanding and knowledge specifically of the construction market, ability to aid in benchmarking, succession and leadership planning, and involvement with strategic initiatives has been and continues to be instrumental in the growth and success of Catamount. They provide very personal attention to each issue and help identify solutions that fit our organization, not just suggest a predesigned cookie-cutter approach. Most of all, they equally value their relationship with us.
