About QTS  
Company History
 
Quality Technical Services, Inc. (QTS) is a woman-owned, minority, certified SDB, with headquarters centrally located in Downtown Virginia Beach, VA.  Founded in 1980, this award-winning company initially focused on management and organizational development consulting.  The rapid advancement of technology over the past 20 years created a niche industry to support the total change management process, and this comprehensive facilities support role sparked QTS' evolution into a full-service project management and facilities firm.

QTS has organized its complete range of services to support clients from initial programming through implementation and management, incorporating the key elements of design, master planning, and strategic consulting.

 
Company Features & Highlights
 
QTS' experience has been gained through successful management and execution of concurrent, multi-location, multi-site projects of enormous scope and responsibility and day-to-day coordination of nationwide comprehensive furniture management services (CFMS).  Some exclusive features and capabilities include:
  • QTS' ability to team with and manage projects for all of the major national furniture manufacturers, such as Steelcase, Kimball, Herman Miller, Knoll, Haworth, and others.  This allows QTS to act as an "honest broker" when evaluating various furniture lines for clients  we also have extensive knowledge of these manufacturers' products.

  • In addition to our contacts in the furniture world, QTS also maintains and vets a national network of installation experts and other subcontractors.

  • The QTS Vice President & Technical Director, Doreen Fentress, is one of only 50 commercial furniture experts nationwide qualified to evaluate and judge national and international furniture design for the annual new product introduction at the NeoCon World's Trade Fair at the Merchandise Mart in Chicago  the furniture industry's defining event.

  • QTS is recognized by both Federal (DoD, NOAA, SBA, IRS, ACOE, others) and commercial (Fortune 100 & 500) clients as a Subject-Matter Expert in managing complex furniture programs and related services.

  • QTS has managed over 700 projects, covering more than 3 million square feet in office space in more than 200 cities and in all 50 states.  Our firm is specifically requested to manage projects which are complex in nature and nationwide in scope.  For example, for one Fortune 100 commercial client, QTS is managing the ongoing installation of more than 2500 workstations in 167 locations across the country with a contract amount of over $7 million to date.
