Quality Built, LLC Acquires West Coast Property Consultants, Inc.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida (PRWEB) December 15, 2011 Quality Built, LLC (Quality Built), the countrys leading provider of third-party construction quality assurance and inspection management services, announces the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of West Coast Property Consultants, Inc. (WCPC) based in San Diego, California pursuant to Section 363 of the US Bankruptcy Code. The transaction closed on December 14, 2011. WCPC has provided third-party quality assurance inspection services to homebuilders in the western United States since 1990. Similar to Quality Built, WCPC saw a need for builders to work proactively to eliminate problems arising from poor construction practices. To that end, WCPC has worked diligently with their homebuilder clients to design programs and procedures to improve construction quality and reduce construction defects in every home they build. Quality Built and WCPC are an excellent fit. While Quality Built developed its business focusing on the needs and mandates of insurance companies, WCPC focused on the needs of homebuilders. As a result, Quality Built and WCPC are a perfect complement to each other, addressing both sides of the construction industry. Gary H. Elzweig, P.E., Chairman of Quality Built, said, This acquisition is an opportunity to strengthen our core services, expand our client base and increase our geographic footprint. When West Coasts resources are combined with Quality Built’s current attributes and proprietary systems we will be even further distinguished in the industry. WCPC is a well respected company with loyal clients and talented professionals that will undoubtedly be a wonderful addition to Quality Built.” Following the transaction we are indisputably the leading third-party quality assurance and construction inspection firm in the nation with over twenty (20) years of combined experience and knowledge derived from inspecting over 800,000 residential and commercial units spanning over 6,000 projects, said Beth Michaelis, Quality Builts President. Our combined computer software and hardware platforms are unrivaled by anyone in the business. WCPCs clients will also benefit from Quality Builts other lines of business including Quality Builts Mass Inspection Management Services, Special Inspections, Collateral Inspection Services and Condo Defect Mitigation Services, to name a few. We are very excited about WCPCs becoming a part of Quality Built and we look forward to the positive impact that this acquisition will produce for our respective clients, employees and investors. Today, Quality Built directly inspects and manages approximately in excess of 30,000 inspections a month. The number of inspections by the Quality Built group is expected to grow substantially as WCPC joins Quality Built and the economy improves. For clients of WCPC, there will be no noticeable change because WCPC will operate as an independent division of Quality Built. As such, the transition of active projects to Quality Built will be seamless. Current WCPC projects will continue to be serviced by the same personnel, using the same protocols, software and processes and all websites, login, passwords, phone numbers and email addresses will remain the same for now. Joining Quality Built is a tremendous opportunity for our clients and employees, noted Barbara Murray, founder of West Coast Property Consultants. Changes in the economy have given us a historic opportunity to join with Quality Built and create an even better company than we were before, this is a win-win scenario. Brian Kramer, Quality Builts C.E.O. said, We are beginning to see a very slow, but nevertheless identifiable, uptick in residential and commercial construction projects in various locations across the country. With the combination of Quality Built and WCPC, we are more than ever ready to meet the needs or our existing and new clients as the construction environment gradually improves.
