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 light-filled, two-story, 12,000-square-foot center functions as the Reno-Stead Airport’s terminal for the 200 aircraft and tenants and as an emergency operations center for the Reno-Sparks community. The center provides an administrative office for the airport managers, a pilot’s lounge and a conference room for community use. Name the Freedom Flight Terminal, the facility is dedicated to U.S. veterans who have served in the armed forces.
As the CM at Risk, Q&D’s team worked alongside the airport staff, the construction representative and the design team to provide preconstruction feedback on various value engineering options, constructability, conceptual schedules and logistics plans. The end result of the entire team’s efforts is a project within the budget constraints which retains the character of the design intent and serves all the functions and needs of the community.
