As construction technology matures, corporate M&A has become the dominant exit path and a key lever for building horizontal platforms across the project lifecycle. This session featured Scott Roth of Alliant Partners alongside senior leaders from major strategic acquirers including leading OEMs, general contractors, and diversified software providers to unpack how they think about M&A, minority investments, and partnerships. Panelists discussed their current acquisition theses, how they evaluate targets, what makes a deal successful post-close, and where they see the next wave of consolidation across design, build, and operations software.
