We do something similar, though in our case a git checkout of the Qt
source, as well as a few sync scripts I built, are checked into a
Subversion repository. All of our developers check out from the Subversion
repository and then run the sync script, which uses rsync to get the build
and install files from our server.

We have both a Qt 4.8.6 and 5.4-dev build built with VS2013 as well as Mac
OSX builds and this process works pretty well for us.

The config command we use (from the VS2013 x64 command prompt) is:
set MACHINE=x64
c:\qtbuild5\qt\configure -confirm-license -make-tool jom -debug-and-release
-opensource -gui -widgets -opengl desktop -mp -prefix
C:\qtbuild5\install\win64

In our case the git checkout of Qt is at C:\qtbuild5\qt.

After configure, I execute:
jom
jom install

Then I run a script that rsyncs from my build machine to the server to
upload the build products to the server. My C:\qtbuild5\install\win64\bin
directory contains assistant.exe, designer.exe, etc.

I've never dealt with creating installers but I'm not sure why you'd need
to do anything significantly different for Qt 5 than what you did for Qt 4
unless the installer technology has changed.
