Positive thinking reaps a lot of benefits. Studies show that positive thinking is not just good for our emotional well-being, but also our mental health. It has the power to reduce the risk of heart diseases, and alleviate stress and anxiety.

Studies have also shown that positive thinking can increase a person’s life span and keep them healthy for a longer period. In fact, positive thinking is so crucial to your body, that it can help build immunity and resistance towards minor illnesses such as the common cold.

Precon Central Project Kansas The precon team has made several trips out to the project Kansas job site to begin prepping for one of the largest IMP projects we've ever taken on. As things ramp up, precon will continue to share exciting updates with the rest of the team ahead of an estimated project start date of November '23.

Success at the GC Expo Kovach recently attended the largest GC Expo in PHX to date! With over 1000 attendees in all, it was a great chance to get in front of the major GCs while introducing some new service areas like our Special Projects department. It was also the first time we've taken the new booth out for a spin at a trade show.

Special Project Wins

The Special Projects team has been killing it the past year, having recently surpassed $1,115,000 in revenue so far this year. We are excited to continue to grow this team and their capabilities!

SHOP AND FIELD NEWS 2 Forklifts Join the Kovach Fleet

Manitou 10055 10k Reach Forklifts

Operations Update The Hangar One install team is picking up solid momentum! Its access is challenging in terms of installing on the incline and utilizing Mast Climbers. This design-build project requires not just skill, but grit, our team is doing just that - meeting it head-on and getting after it. It's a testament to the dedication and perseverance of our employees, and we couldn't be prouder to be part of this project. On another note, we are in full-blown prep mode for Samsung, Kansas, and continuing our support and reinforcement for our active projects.

The field leadership team has noticeably stepped up! A couple of shoutouts to Brandon Niles for being recognized by McCarthy at Hangar One for superior safety and to Matt McMullen for leading the QC video library.

We are thrilled to announce that we have added new Manitou forklifts to the Kovach fleet - lifts with fully enclosed cabs that feature air conditioning and heating. Not only that, but the lifts also have air-ride seats and new single-handed computer controls. These additions are sure to be a helpful asset at our job sites by providing a comfortable environment and ease of use for our operators. Additionally, by purchasing these lifts, we will experience a boost in productivity and ultimately a positive impact on our bottom line. Thank you to everyone involved, especially the team who has been working on this since October to make this happen.
