Q1 2019 Highlight
Quest helps companies of all shapes and sizes with their site selection decisions. Due in part to market demand, we offer our site selection services a la carte in order to meet our client’s needs. The following services can be provided all together through our typical four-phase site selection approach or in a myriad of combinations:
Q4 2018 Highlight
While continuing McCallum Sweeney’s site certification programs, the gold standard in the industry, Quest has expanded our economic development services to include a variety that may be a better fit for participants from a time and financial commitment perspective. Services such as the Quick Assess or Site Evaluation require much less resources than a full certification while still providing an enhanced deliverable outlining property strengths and deficiencies as well as recommendations for furthering the readiness of the proposed property. At Quest, we understand that properties are at various levels of readiness and one size does not fit all. Quest is willing to tailor our services to fit the needs of our clients while still providing the highest level of service and industry expertise.
