Q & Q

What Q & Q does

Q & Q Inc. is a State of Florida Certified General, Mechanical, and Plumbing Contractor founded in 1979 and headquartered in Lakeland, Florida. The company delivers commercial and industrial construction services across three integrated lines: (1) Mechanical & Plumbing, covering HVAC, medical gas systems, glycol/ammonia refrigeration, process piping, natural gas/LP gas, wastewater, test and balance, and controls; (2) Building Solutions, comprising new construction, retrofits, renovations, equipment replacement, construction management, and design-build delivery; and (3) Energy Management, focused on reducing building operating costs and improving environmental performance. The business holds Florida licenses CGC1519515 (General), CMC1249643 (Mechanical), and CFC1427114 (Plumbing), enabling single-source responsibility across mechanical and plumbing scopes, and has completed over 500 projects with a combined value exceeding $300 million since inception.

The company's go-to-market is B2B enterprise field sales targeting healthcare facilities, universities, distribution centers, manufacturing plants, government buildings, and religious and multi-family institutions across Florida, with selected project work in Georgia. Revenue is generated through one-time lump-sum contracts, design-build engagements, and construction management arrangements, with pricing provided on a project-by-project basis. Customer acquisition relies heavily on relationships with construction management firms (Skanska USA, AM King, Register Construction, Rodda Construction, PMC/Heery International), direct client engagement for healthcare and higher-education work, repeat business, and professional association membership visibility (ABC, ASHRAE, PHCC, BOMA, Energy Star Partner). The firm operates a drug-free workplace and emphasizes quality workmanship and repeat-client retention as primary commercial differentiators.

Operationally, Q & Q is a small specialty trade contractor (11-50 employees) executing project-based mechanical and plumbing work, with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, no public API or platform product, no subsidiaries, no parent company, and no disclosed funding rounds. The addressable market is the Florida commercial and industrial construction sector, where the company's combination of three state certifications, four-decade track record, and embedded construction-manager relationships constitute its principal competitive position.
