Valuing a Publicly Traded Construction Company

Hey everyone,

I wanted to get the opinion of some experienced individuals on how to proceed with the valuation of a publicly traded construction company. Currently, my approach is to model Backlog growth, and tie that with revenue through the Burn Rate. Once I have my revenue figures, just kinda figure out how margins would look like and the rest would be straight forward. Is there any other approach for the DCF other than this? And would a multiple such as its historical EV/Backlog be useful in this case, since the company is currently trading at below its 10-year historical EV/Backlog multiple?

Any and all advice would be appreciated. Cheers!
