Q2 was pivotal to the success of one of HOK’s most iconic and innovative recent projects for the Central+Wolfe Campus in Sunnyvale, CA. As a partner at the design table, Q2 helped HOK rapidly prototype and optimize highly complex precast geometries to improve the design intention while decreasing cost, weight and construction time. Delivered on-time and in budget, the result is a bespoke series of precast elements that create a memorable environment for one of the world’s largest companies to enjoy.

The Q2 Studio / Production Development Process

Planning

Working with designers and developers in the early stages of a project Q2 helps reduce technical challenges, resulting in saving time and money.

CAD Design

Q2 engineers work closely with the designers and the construction team to ensure design and function are working together.

Mold Making

Q2 uses a combination of traditional mold making techniques and cutting edge 3D CNC machining resulting in tight tolerances from piece to piece and the artistic eye and touch of an old world craftsman.

Casting

Our state of the art batch plant provides high quality concrete with extremely consistent color characteristics.

Stripping

Pulling a newly cast product from a complicated mold requires skill and years of experience.

Finishing

We understand how important a consistent color and finish is to the value of a precast project and we go to great lengths to deliver.

Detailing

Artisans hand detail every piece under the watchful eye of Q2 studio team to make sure each piece matches our incredibly tough quality control standards.

Delivery

Q2 utilizes the full fleet of QCP trucks for delivering projects throughout California, Arizona and Nevada. Having our own trucks allows us to maintain a level of quality control after a project leaves the plant, eliminating the risk of damage while in transit.
