Our Company
Since 1972, QK has been helping California grow into the communities we see today. Our company was built by strong values, talented people, and the widespread recognition of our work in the field. We continue to help clients across the state by managing their most challenging infrastructure projects.
Our Team
No one is better at helping clients through the confusing regulations, funding problems, and planning requirements that are part of completing a project in California.
Our employees are the bedrock of the QK brand. Their talent, integrity, and commitment to quality has defined QK’s culture for over four decades and will carry our values into the future.
We are proud to provide our employees with hands-on training, workshops, networking events, tuition reimbursement, sponsored memberships for professional associations, and assistance with obtaining professional licenses.

Teaming Partners
“For over a decade, VRPA Technologies, Inc. has teamed with Quad Knopf on a variety of projects in the San Joaquin Valley both as a sub and as a prime contractor. We have come to value this partnership and the expertise, commitment, and professionalism their staff brings to the table. With Quad Knopf, we can count on quality products and a level playing field. Quad Knopf’s President, Michael Knopf, is a well-respected businessman whom I am pleased to call friend.”
“ QK and DeWalt Corporation, despite having similar professional services, have partnered on many projects in support of QK’s large utility clients. QK is sensitive to and supports the inclusion of diverse suppliers to benefit their large utility projects.”
“Rarely in the world of environmental solutions do you find a company with the depth, knowledge and understanding that we find in Quad Knopf. Having worked with Quad on many projects over the years, I continue to be impressed with the integrity and talent of their organization.”
“I have worked with Quad Knopf for over 25 years as a sub consultant. Their values are the same as BSK Associates where they treat their client and sub consultant as a true partnership to provide their clients solutions to complex projects.”
