How We Help
 

Our construction materials team brings deep sector expertise and unparalleled knowledge of local construction materials markets in North America.

• Strategic Planning and Performance Improvement: FMI’s construction materials team has worked across North America with producers of cement, aggregates, ready-mixed concrete, concrete products, liquid asphalt, hot-mixed asphalt, lime and industrial minerals. From family-owned businesses to multinationals, we bring our wealth of experience to your specific situation to make you a stronger, better managed, more focused and more profitable company. We’ll help you develop a thoughtful strategic plan, complete with a tactical implementation process that ensures your plan doesn’t sit on the shelf and gather dust.


• Market Research: Whether you need help evaluating a local market for a pending acquisition or are seeking to expand your company’s presence in a particular geographic region, FMI’s materials research team has unparalleled capabilities, combining data and street intel to forecast future demand in a local market, pinpoint and assess key supply-side issues, and identify potential sellers or joint venture partners that can provide a platform entry into a new market or help you grow in an existing one.


• Feasibility Studies: In today’s restrictive permitting environment, building a new plant or opening a new avenue of distribution requires a significant investment of time and capital. Before making that investment, bring your proposition to FMI. Our experts will study the market while maintaining your confidentiality and give you the vital information you need to make the right decision.
