Item 8.01 Other Events.

Phoenix AZ- Alpine 4 Technologies, Ltd., (OTCQB: ALPP) owner of leading small market businesses, announced today that its subsidiary, Excel Fabrication LLC., a subsidiary of A4 Construction Services, Inc., an Alpine 4 holding company, is now an approved Varco Pruden Buildings supplier of steel structures for commercial building.

Excel has provided construction services to the western United States for 12 years. The company is excited to provide steel construction and metal building systems as an economical and aesthetically pleasing design option. Excel has joined Varco Pruden's builder network in an effort to offer more options to their customers. The company expects that being a part of the Varco Pruden Builder network will give Excel's customers greater access to pre-engineered and conventional steel solutions, use of the company's advanced engineering program and contact with architects and engineers. It is for this reason that Alpine 4 is expanding it's reach of General Contracting starting with the following 7 states: Montana, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Nevada and Wyoming.

Kent Wilson, CEO of Alpine 4, had this to say, "I must emphasis how big of a deal this is for Excel and A4 Constructions Services, Inc., and we are very pleased to partner with Varco Pruden Buildings as our sole source of steel building offerings. In the past, we offered a disjointed network of suppliers to our client base. Having one supplier with a larger range of product offerings allows us a competitive advantage on several fronts. First, we can be agile in how we plan and spec our building processes. Second, uniformity makes way for fewer construction-related mistakes that kill profitability. Finally, being a part of the Varco Pruden Buildings network allows us to be more efficient with our time and allows us to speed up job completion without sacrificing quality. It's important to point out that over the past month, as we have begun to incorporate Varco Pruden Buildings into our bidding process, our job bidding has swelled to over $100 million. This is a 500% increase over our job bidding prior to being in their network. This is solely related to the strong name recognition and branding of Varco Pruden Buildings."

Excel's VP of Operations, Jeff Laird, had this to say, "Excel Fabrication looks forward to becoming the go-to contractor for the steel building industry. In addition to being in the food, pharmaceutical, mining and fabrication industries, our partnership with Varco Pruden, in conjunction with being a general contractor, allows us to offer competitive pricing. This leads to a varying range of applications in industries such as agriculture, automotive, churches, distribution, government, manufacturing, retrofit and retail spaces with certified energy efficiency and numerous certifications such as UL and US army corps of engineers. This integration gives the opportunity for Excel Fabrication to open a more diverse area of growth for the North West region of the U.S. We are excited to tackle this explosive growth opportunity."
