Highly Profitable Quantity Surveying and Cost Management Consultancy – Sydney

A rare opportunity to acquire a highly established and profitable Australian quantity surveying and cost management consultancy with a long trading history, contracted institutional clients and a proprietary technology platform embedded within major client operations. Operating nationally from its Sydney base, the business specialises in end-to-end cost management for capital works rollout programs, alongside a diversified quantity surveying practice servicing the broader building and construction sector.

The business has demonstrated strong financial growth, with revenue increasing from $2.38M in FY2024 to $2.96M in FY2026, while Normalised EBITDA in FY2026 was $1.16M.

A significant feature of the business is its long-standing relationships with major Australian blue-chip clients. Three major institutional clients, supported by multi-year contractual arrangements and relationships extending as long as 23+ years.

The business has also invested more than $550,000 in developing its proprietary cost management technology platform, which integrates directly with major clients’ internal systems. The platform provides real-time project visibility and represents valuable intellectual property that is included in the sale.

• FY2026 Revenue – $2.96M
• FY2026 Normalised EBITDA – $1.16M
• Revenue increased approximately 24% over FY2024-FY2026
• Long-established professional services business with an extensive operating history.
• Vendors prepared to provide an extended transition and handover of up to 12 months
• Blue-chip Australian institutional clients under multi-year contractual arrangements
• Client relationships extending more than two decades
• Proprietary software platform integrated into major client operations
• $550K+ invested in proprietary technology
• Experienced and long-tenured professional team
• 12 staff with significant operational and institutional knowledge
• National service capability from a Sydney base
• Strong referral and repeat-business model
• Historically minimal formal marketing, creating significant business development potential
• Opportunities to expand further into other sectors

The business has achieved its current position largely through reputation, referrals and long-standing client relationships rather than structured marketing. This creates considerable scope for an acquirer with business development capability to expand both the professional services operation and the proprietary software offering into additional institutional and commercial markets.

The opportunity should appeal particularly to an established quantity surveying, engineering, project management, construction advisory or professional services group seeking immediate scale, institutional client relationships and/or proprietary technology. It may also suit a larger strategic acquirer seeking to expand its Australian footprint through an established and profitable platform or an investor wishing to enter this industry.

Both owners are planning an orderly exit and are prepared to provide substantial transitional support for up to 12 months’ handover, assisting with the transfer of key client relationships, systems knowledge and operational responsibilities.

Asking Price: $3,400,000 – comprising $2,800,000 payable at settlement plus a $600,000 performance-based earn-out, including tangible and intangible assets
