U.S.-based relationship & business-development lead behind Bloom

Built on Relationships. Focused on Helping Contractors Grow.

Bloom Business Development was founded by Duane Ellis, an Army veteran and business-development professional with experience across construction, healthcare, education, commercial, and industrial markets.

After years of helping organizations build relationships, pursue opportunities, and grow revenue, Duane founded Bloom around a simple belief: businesses shouldn’t have to build every capability internally to compete.

Today, Bloom Estimating & Preconstruction Services brings that philosophy to specialty contractors—providing additional capacity for bid intake, takeoffs, estimating, and preconstruction support while allowing contractors to stay focused on their customers, crews, and operations.

Wherever You Are Planted… Bloom.
