Building new structures is where Q&D started back in 1964, with a small kitchen build-out, a borrowed truck and garage office. Since those early days, Q&D has built projects that range from a small equipment replacement project in a hospital operating room to a $230,000,000 luxury mountain resort, and everything in between. That varied background of experience is the foundation for our professional construction management process that will provide you with a well-planned path for your team, a safe and efficient project during construction and a final result that meets your needs while providing you with the best value.
Q&D’s Building Group delivers public works and private projects using a collaborative, transparent and open-book approach. Over 92% of our projects over the last 20 years have been for repeat clients. Regular clients include SCHEELS, University of Nevada, Reno, Saint Mary’s Regional Medical Center, NV State Public Works Division, Washoe County School District and the Reno-Tahoe International Airport.
Q&D’s homes team mastered new construction technology with this residence, designed to undulate into a hillside. The structure glows with numerous natural light shafts, semi-transparent building materials and hidden lighting sources tucked into interior surfaces to create a fascinating blend of privacy, views of the Sierra Nevada and varying lighting experiences around the clock.
“Q&D handled the project’s many complexities with precision. The foundation was formed form over 50 complex curves, yet it went smoothly thanks to your skilled and careful work and attention to detail. In my 40 years of exploring new materials and inventing alternative construction strategies and architectural forms, I rarely find a contractor who delivers what the design team has envisioned as passionately as Q&D.”
