Focus on operations
Reduce your risk
“Covalent has allowed us to scale our operations without having to take on additional staff, which is expensive and takes time to train. I've been able to focus on operations while knowing our estimates are consistent and complete. Eric is thorough and all communications are responsive and well-articulated. He's knowledgeable in the complete building process which is a huge benefit over just counting brick. We see a partnership with Covalent with no end in sight. If you're looking to scale operations or simply need a resource for one-off estimates or consulting, Covalent can help.”

“Before working with Eric at Covalent we struggled at times to keep up when overwhelming workloads took over the office. Having someone available that matched our expertise helped give us the time needed to focusing on our actual projects.
Connecting with Covalent completely changed that. Their bidding service connected us with real, targeted opportunities. They helped us streamline the entire process by helping us submit polished, competitive bids. As a result, we’ve seen a noticeable increase in awarded contracts and a more predictable pipeline of work.
The biggest benefit of using a bidding service is the time it saves and the confidence it gives you in your profits. Instead of reacting to random opportunities, we are now more strategic with our bids and our time.
Covalent also helped us stay competitive in the market without having to lower our standards or prices.
If you are on the fence about using a bidding service, my advice is simple: give it a try. Covalent is an investment that pays for itself when you start winning the right kind of work. It’s been a game-changer for us, allowing us to grow our business and focus on what we do best: high-quality masonry work.”
