Does QBC work in Greater Milwaukee?

Yes, in the suburbs, on selected projects. The Milwaukee area is the far edge of the 75 mile circle our crews travel from DeForest, so we bid it project by project rather than chasing everything, and the ones we take get the same project manager and the same four rounds of punch as a job ten minutes from the shop. Most of our work here has been in Wauwatosa and West Allis. We supply and install framing, finish carpentry, cabinetry, and countertops for general contractors and developers on multifamily projects, under one contract with one project manager per job.

Which Greater Milwaukee pages does QBC have?

One set of area pages rather than one per suburb. Each lists the projects we have completed or have under contract, with the general contractor and the scopes.

Brookfield, Brown Deer, Waukesha, Menomonee Falls, Oak Creek, and the north shore are all inside the same circle.

What has QBC built in Greater Milwaukee?

Projects completed or under contract, with the general contractor:

7474 Harwood / St. Bernards, Wauwatosa (Catalyst Construction): finish carpentry, countertops, and cabinets
Harlow & Hem, Wauwatosa (Greenfire): countertops and cabinets
SoNa Lofts Phase II, West Allis (Moore Construction Services): countertops and cabinets
North Mayfair Apartments, Wauwatosa (Stevens Construction): countertops
Vets Place Central, Milwaukee (Kelly Construction): cabinets, countertops, and sills

Four of the five paired cabinets with countertops. That pairing is the reason to call us from Milwaukee: one project manager, one schedule, and the countertop template happens the week the cabinets are set.

What does QBC do in Greater Milwaukee?

Four scopes, bid separately or bundled:

Rough carpentry: platform framing, floor systems, trusses, and wall panels, with lumber and panels supplied under the same contract. For the right project our framing crews travel here; the materials travel anywhere in the area.
Finish carpentry: doors, frames, hardware, base, case, window trim, and sills
Cabinetry: multifamily kitchen, bath, and closet cabinets, supplied, site measured, and installed
Countertops: quartz and granite, laser templated on site and fabricated in DeForest

What should a Milwaukee GC expect from a DeForest-based sub?

We are about 90 minutes away, so we do not run a Foreman over for a 20-minute question. What we do instead is front-load the work. Submittals, samples, shop drawings, and site measurements get locked in preconstruction, deliveries are scheduled by building, and the crew stays on site through the scope rather than bouncing between jobs. On Harwood the trim, cabinet, and countertop scopes ran under one project manager, so the handoffs happened on one calendar instead of three.

How do I get QBC on a Greater Milwaukee project?

FAQs

Does QBC frame custom homes in the Milwaukee suburbs?

For the right project, yes. Our framing packages are built around a 75 mile circle from DeForest, and the western suburbs are at the edge of it, so ask.
