QBC is a multi-scope commercial subcontractor serving developers, general contractors, and property managers across Wisconsin and Northern Illinois.

The Problem With Traditional Subcontractors

Most developers and general contractors deal with the same recurring nightmare: juggling five different subs, each with their own schedule, each pointing fingers when something goes wrong. Your schedule slips. Your budget bleeds. Your reputation takes the hit.

‍•
Rough carpentry and framing
Finish carpentry and trim
Cabinetry and countertops
Flooring installation
Building materials supply

QBC eliminates the chaos by bundling your labor and materials under one contract, one schedule, and one point of accountability.

From Four Founders to Regional Leader

QBC was founded in 1998 with a "get it done" mentality. Four friends started in a Madison living room with a beat-up pickup truck, sitting on a couch waiting for the phone to ring. We built our reputation one project at a time through reliable execution and honest communication.

That approach worked. As a result, we've grown into one of the leading multi-scope subcontractors in Wisconsin, handling projects ranging from $50,000 tenant rehabs to $115M+ multi-family developments.
