If he really wants the location of the binary, he needs to use 

 get_target_property(loc Qt4::QtUiTools LOCATION)

Using

 get_target_property(loc ${QT_UITOOLS_LIBRARY} LOCATION)

could have unpredictable results if that variable becomes a list of things. 
For consistency within a project, the imported target name can be used 
everywhere.

Thanks,

Steve.
