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.
This new elementary school is based on the prototype model that H+K Architects designed to relieve overcrowding at surrounding elementary schools, and provide new capacity for Washoe County School District. Q&D was part of the team on the prototype school – Nick Poulakidas Elementary School – helping optimize constructability and budget to ensure the best possible value for future instances of this model.
This 2 story, 82,500-square-foot facility has 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. Q&D is the builder on this school set to open to students in early 2021.
