Founder and managing director Terry Benson said from starting with just one member of staff back in July 2014, he had grown it to a workforce of 22.
QDTS now operates as a main contractor on new build projects ranging from housing and city centre apartments to commercial developments and residential care homes.
It has worked on projects in both the East and West Midlands and is now looking at schemes in other areas of the 海角视频.
Individual schemes it has worked on include the Emporium project, in Bartholomew Row, Birmingham, where the team was brought in after the collapse of its original contractor, Shaylor.
The listed building was granted approval to be restored and saved from demolishment, so that it could be turned it into high spec student accommodation.

To help its growth QDTS has invested in young talent and currently has five apprentices working across the business.
All have regular training, coaching and guidance and are encouraged to stay and further their careers when their apprenticeship ends.
Mr Benson said: “Our success and impressive growth is ultimately down to the team.
“They are all experts in their own field and clients regularly tell us how impressed they have been with the level of expertise, knowledge and understanding they’ve seen.
“What makes me particularly proud is the team’s desire to give back to the local community.
“This is important to me and is encouraged in the business, but I was still blown away when they recently spent their own time at a weekend to create a much-needed nature area for Croft Primary School.
“My ideas are one thing – it’s the team around me that bring them to life.”

Commenting on the Bartholomew Road scheme he said: “This really was an urgent situation.
“Completing The Emporium project was viewed by most as undoable, due to complications that came with the previous construction work it had already undergone.
“However, the urgency of this project to the community was felt by all of us at QDTS Construction and we are very proud to have had our part to play in restoring it.
“I am extremely grateful to all of our team who made the completion of this project possible.”
