Sales and Marketing

The Company’s many successes over the years have enabled Pipe Constructors to become a prequalified bidder and are now found on many industry-approved MEP lists. This means contactors send the company invites to bid on upcoming projects rather than the Company seeking and chasing down opportunities.

Prequalification is achieved by filling out a qualification packet for each district and public entity. Business must not have been kicked off any other jobs of this kind, show the ability and means to bond projects and show evidence of previous bonded projects. Packages are also subject to approval of financials, usually sent in coordination with a CPA; being able to show the Company has funds has successfully completed jobs and evidence that you can again. Although there are no costs to submit a prequalification package for review, some applications are quite extensive and it may be more efficient to pay a professional to fill out the information.

Pipe Constructors also worked with numerous general contractors on a multiple project having developed relationships based on the quality of the work provided and their ability to complete projects on time and on budget.

This leaves the Company in the enviable position of having to spend very little money or implement marketing campaigns to bring in new business.

Bright Outlook!

• The company is currently bidding on projects and attempting to secure contracts through 2020.
• To ensure that long-range goals are reached the Seller’s recommend that a Buyer actively pursues projects and submits bids on a regular basis.
• Leasing heavy equipment like backhoes, excavators that are delivered to the job sites can be expensive. A Buyer may look into intermittently purchasing some of the most used equipment to offset lease fees.
• Emerging technologies should be investigated to see if there are ways to more efficiently clock time, keep workers safe, reduce insurance costs and improve overall efficiency at job sites.
