Our Work in General Commercial

I had an excellent experience working with DBS Group. They understand how to structure a large build and keep it relatively low-stress and trouble-free for the owner. They were phenomenal in handling the details, so I didn’t have them dropping on me. We built our facility during COVID, and they thought out of the box to keep us moving despite materials shortages. They’re a professional organization with good people. They’re fair and make it work for everybody. It was nice to have a partner in my project rather than just a contractor.

The people at DBS Group were pleasant and professional. They facilitated the project well, managing all the logistics and taking care of any issues that came up during the process. They also kept us well-informed on progress and next steps and produced high-quality work. Most importantly, we now have a beautiful facility to share with our clients, customers and community.

When we met with DBS Group, they laid out a plan that worked for us and then followed through on everything they said they would do. We had very few surprises on the project. When they did occur, DBS Group communicated them well and had a plan to solve them. As a preschool, we needed to market six months before the project was finished, and hitting our completion date was critical for the families depending on us. Even with supply chain issues and labor shortages, DBS Group got the job done on schedule.

Working with DBS Group was a great experience. They were professional, efficient, and the communication was exceptional. Every member of their team was pleasant to work with. I was impressed with the management of an aggressive timeline for our project. DBS Group runs a first-class operation.

My experience with DBS Group was a 10 out of 10. I’d never built a commercial building before; it has a lot of moving parts and numerous small details that I didn’t even consider. When they said it would be ready by October 25, I thought it’d probably be more like January. But it was completed exactly on October 25. It was a complete turnkey, and it turned out gorgeous. I will use them again and have already referred them to others.

DBS Group managed our project well. They shared ideas we wouldn’t have thought of and ensured everything stayed on track for a timely completion. They also identified and addressed issues before they became problems. Overall, I felt like I didn’t need to be there every day because I could trust them to think the way the owner would. I definitely recommend them for new construction projects.

DBS Group is very thorough, very professional, and they know their craft. They’re excellent at defining the scope, asking all the questions needed in order to understand what the job is going to be, and they’re exceptional communicators throughout the process. I absolutely recommend them.

“This is the largest project we’ve ever taken on — our second with DBS Group — all while remaining open to staff and members, and DBS has made it smoother than we imagined it could be. With projects like this, something unanticipated always comes up, and they just make it right. They’ve been on time and on budget with both projects because when they spec things out, they do a thorough job. A lot of contractors won’t draw things up until you pay them a lot of money, but DBS gives you enough up front to make a realistic decision. We’re really looking for a partner, not just a contractor, and that’s what we get with DBS Group.”

Partnering with DBS group was the best decision for my business. All the professionals I interacted with there were courteous and treated my project like it was their own. Their communication was proactive, and they educated me to help make smart decisions as the project progressed. Our project manager and superintendent had an incredible say/do ratio. When they committed to outcomes and progress, they consistently delivered. I highly recommend DBS group for businesses looking to stay on-time and on-budget!

“We had a great experience with DBS Group. They really took ownership of the project and made sure we didn’t have to worry about much at all. They’re solutions-oriented, so they didn’t just bring problems to our attention — they brought solutions and did so quickly, clearly communicating the timeline for decisions. They have the right people in the right positions and do a great job collaborating internally and then collaborating with us. I’d absolutely hire them again.”
— Aaron Arntson Cardinal Glass
“Our experience with DBS Group was very positive, from beginning to end. They were organized, strategic partners who were genuinely committed to the project. When we encountered challenges or issues, they would problem-solve with us and find solutions that worked for everyone. Communication was strong, budgeting was collaborative, and the project finished on time. We’re happy with the result and would gladly do another project with them. Lori Bonin”

DBS Group’s work on our addition was phenomenal, from design through construction. They sat down with us in the beginning, learned what we wanted and needed and planned it all out so we could meet our very short time frame. The project manager was there every day and was a great communicator, letting us know what was going on throughout construction. Also, a big factor for us is that we wanted the addition to look like it was part of the original building. We get a lot of comments now from customers who say it looks like it was always meant to be there. We’re very pleased with the end product.
