Planning & Design

Every project and its needs are unique.  We work closely with our clients to create sustainable, timeless, and innovative building solutions.  We can help with design, permitting, zoning and, of course, budgeting.  In the initial planning stages, we want to make sure you are comfortable with how we manage our projects, including weekly calls and itemized project trackers.  If there are any other expectations, we want to make sure they are all laid out initially. 

Build & Execute

By the time we hit the ground, we ensure all materials schedules are formalized, subcontractors scheduled and all due diligence performed.  We rely on constant communication among all stakeholders to avoid disruptions to the timeline, budget or quality expectations.  Whether its new construction or a home remodel, we treat every project with the same level of attention and care.  Since you trust us with your homes, we want to show you they are in good hands.

Handoff

We know the frustrations that come with the lack of attention to detail during construction projects.  We make sure that we don't have to make repeated visits to make sure your expectations are surpassed.  We aim to do it right the first time.  This comes down to our quality control process and reliance on a talented group of construction professionals.  While our team is lean, we make sure we stay until the job is done.  We are also always available to our clients even after the project is done and often continue  to support their construction needs.

Advisor & Consultant

While we like to get our hands dirty for you on every aspect of your real estate needs, we also know that homeowners can find it challenging to manage the construction process when multiple contractors and subcontractors are involved in their projects.  QLC can also serve as your trusted advisor and consultant, independent of the contractors performing the work, to ensure your best interests are always considered.  We can review budgets and actual cost tracking, ensure project plans are feasible and assist with materials due diligence/selection and design.  We can help with everything from using the right drywall, looking at all baseboard options, selecting the right wood for your panelling to hooking you up with the best cabinet makers.  We can make sure we connect you with the right people for every component of your project.  Simply put, our experience in the real estate development and construction fields can be transferred to you, even when we aren't doing the work.  We will be the essential sounding board to make sure it all makes sense.

Investment

Our clients are not solely homeowners.  We also work closely with investors to make sure  their hard earned money is deployed in line with their investment goals.  We do the work to identify the best towns to invest in, assess the extent of work needed to flip or rent homes and ultimately unlock equity.  QLC also purchases homes to hold in its own portfolio, either as a multi-year flip or as a rental (AirBnB or long-term).

Lot Sourcing

Finding buildable lots in sought after markets like Newton, Weston, Wellesley, Needham, Brookline and Boston is not easy in today's market.  We want to remove that anxiety from our clients.  We work with our clients that have ideas in mind for where their new home will be and general specifications (like style, size, special features, etc.) to identify the best lots for the purpose.  We work with our network of trusted real estate agents and partners to find off market properties worth considering.   We can assist with due diligence, permitting, zoning as well.
