The company’s head office is on the east coast in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and it has other offices in Newport Beach, CA, Ripon, CA, and Jacksonville, FL. Quality Built recently acquired two companies, DuctTesters, Inc. and SMC Systems Holdings, Inc., further cementing its position as the market leader in testing and inspection services to the residential and commercial construction industries. While these acquisitions more than doubled its revenues, Chief Executive Officer John Gillett explains that the more significant part of the company’s growth model centers on cultivating systems, processes, and procedures that deliver exceptional services to clients. He notes, “The acquisitions got us into geographies and service categories for which we weren’t well positioned. We’ll continue looking at more acquisitions, but our focus remains on creating a great corporate culture and lots of organic growth.” Quality Built services span the planning, design, construction, build, and post-construction phases and include quality assurance inspections, energy and sustainability, technical plan review, geotechnical design review, risk assessment and management, and litigation support.
