Leveraging Thoughtful Design and Trusted Partnerships for a Purposeful Build

We design and build more than buildings. We build partnerships, trust, and lasting results.

Advocating for your vision, from concept to construction, and every step beyond.

We Create Meaningful Spaces

Owner Involved, Relationship Approach

We Deliver Deep Fox Valley Expertise & Connections

Are you tired of...

Feeling stuck because you don’t know the best route to solve the problem?

Feeling like other contractors don’t truly listen to you?

Feeling like a number, ignored and undervalued?

Why QDBI?

Building more than spaces, creating lasting partnerships.

When you choose QDBI, you’re gaining a dedicated advocate with deep Fox Valley roots and the local relationships to make things happen that other firms simply can’t achieve. Our owner-involved, partnership approach means you work directly with decision-makers who are personally invested in your success. And, our design-build expertise allows us to identify and solve potential problems before they become costly surprises. We don’t chase every project. Instead, we carefully select clients looking for a partnership, where we can deliver exceptional value through our integrated approach and commitment to meeting our clients where they are, to help build their dreams.

Removing roadblocks to your success

Beyond the construction, we provide complete client advocacy. For some clients, that may mean initial zoning assistance, or for others, connecting them to financing support. Our values-based business practices demand that we operate with a repeat business mindset—your long-term success directly impacts our business, our community, and our reputation.

Rooted in Fox Valley, building in Chicagoland

As neighbors serving neighbors, we keep the revenue we generate right here in the Fox Valley, working with local subcontractors to strengthen the entire community. This ensures that you receive the personalized attention and local expertise that only comes from a deliberately boutique, relationship-focused organization committed to delivering exactly what we promise, when we promise it.

Our Leadership Team

Ryan previously served as Director of Project Management for Schramm Construction, a GC firm with a 30+year legacy in the Fox Valley region. In 2024, Ryan and his wife Nancy, QDBI’s Vice President acquired Schramm Construction and launched Quinn Design-Build Inc. to preserve the Schramm legacy while embracing an updated and collaborative approach to design and construction. Ryan leads QDBI with clear focus: to delivering thoughtful, high-quality building solutions nimbly with accountability and purpose.

What our clients are saying

“As a first-time franchise owner, I was unfamiliar with the construction process. QDBI guided me through every step with patience and professionalism. They helped me bring two uniquely different Parlor Doughnuts locations to life in Rolling Meadows and Bolingbrook. Their design-build expertise made the process seamless and I am excited to partner with them on our next store.”

"Working with Ryan and Nancy is a reminder that business is personal. They lead with integrity, treat people right, and care deeply about the quality of what they build — and the relationships they build along the way. Their vision for QDBI isn’t just about growth — it’s about doing great work, with great people, for the long haul.”
