Acquisition Opportunity Comet Electric, a mid-size contractor with revenue in the $25M-$50M range and a blend of commercial, industrial, educational, healthcare, and transportation projects, has recently been acquired by MYR Group. This signals potential for cross-sell of broader electrical and construction services, integrated design-build offerings, and enhanced capital project support as the parent company consolidates portfolios.

Strategic Fit The company’s emphasis on design-build, design-assist and value engineering aligns with clients seeking cost certainty and faster project delivery. Sales plays can target clients prioritizing early contractor involvement, value engineering lessons from complex sectors, and opportunities to expand into street lighting, traffic signals, and mixed-use developments.

Expansion Readiness With a diverse project mix across commercial, industrial, education, healthcare, and transportation segments, there is room to upsell turnkey solutions and multi-site programs. Potential deals include recurring maintenance, retrofits, and sector-specific upgrades that leverage existing relationships and the extended capabilities of a larger parent organization.

Tech & Efficiency The tech footprint—WordPress and standard web tools—suggests opportunities to modernize client-facing processes and project workflows. Propose digital collaboration, BIM-enabled design-build services, and streamlined procurement integrations to improve bid competitiveness for public and private sector clients.

Relationship Leverage Post-acquisition, emphasize MYR Group’s broader portfolio to win applied opportunities in high-value markets. Target clients with long project horizons, such as healthcare facilities, educational campuses, and large mixed-use developments, where consolidated regional capabilities can be marketed as a single-coordinator solution.
