Building Group
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 was the CMAR on this new school, the first elementary school built in Reno in over 10 years. It is designed to relieve overcrowding at surrounding elementary schools, and provide capacity for this high-growth area. School capacity is 745 students in this 2-story, 82,500-square-foot facility.
There are 28 standard classrooms, one “Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM)” Lab, three “Hub” spaces for collaborative/project learning, modern security, energy-efficient design including a geothermal heat exchange system, and drought-tolerant landscaping.
As the first-of-its-kind, it is a prototype for multiple schools underway in the Washoe County School District. As the CMAR for the initial school, Q&D helped optimize the constructability and budget of this school and is the builder for two more elementary schools – John C. Bohach and Cold Springs Elementary School – which were competitively bid.
