Acquisitions of Businesses     
No acquisitions were made during the three months ended March 31, 2018.
On January 4, 2017, March 1, 2017 and November 1, 2017, we acquired three companies for a total consideration of $109.3 million. One company provides fire protection and alarm services primarily in the Southern region of the United States. The second company provides millwright services for manufacturing companies throughout the United States. Both of their results have been included in our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment. The third company provides mobile mechanical services within the Western region of the United States, and its results have been included in our United States building services segment. In connection with these acquisitions, we acquired working capital of $9.6 million and other net assets of $2.3 million and have preliminarily ascribed $40.8 million to goodwill and $56.6 million to identifiable intangible assets. We expect that all of the acquired goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.
The purchase price allocation for the business acquired in November of 2017 is still preliminary and subject to change during its respective measurement period. The purchase price allocations for the businesses acquired in January and March of 2017 have been finalized with an insignificant impact. The acquisition of these businesses was accounted for by the acquisition method, and the prices paid for them have been allocated to their respective assets and liabilities, based upon the estimated fair value of their assets and liabilities at the dates of their respective acquisitions by us.
