A tool used to estimate the economic worth of a construction firm, it provides a quantitative assessment based on financial data, market conditions, and operational assets.

Such analyses have evolved from simple asset-based calculations to incorporating sophisticated methodologies that account for intangible factors such as reputation and intellectual property.
