This facility also incorporates a 1,700-square-foot outdoor sales and display area. DBS provided store planning, architectural, engineering and construction services.

Testimonials

    “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.”

    “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.”

    “Working with DBS Group has been wonderful. It’s really about the people. Their attention to detail and quality has always been top-notch. They often recognize when we overlook a project detail, suggest a solution and correct it for us. They give personal attention to every project, and they’re always very responsive. I look less at them as a general contractor and more as an extension of our team.”

    “Working with DBS Group was great. It was a really smooth, issue-free process. They helped guide me through each step, showing me different ideas and options that would work, and then they kept me part of the process. I was really happy with the accuracy of the estimates, the efficiency and experience as a whole.”

    “We can’t thank you enough for how much you and all the staff at DBS Group did for our company. You may have thought that doing our build-out was just another construction project, but your team went above and beyond! Not only did you do a fantastic construction build-out, but you helped with so many things that came up that without your expertise and guidance, we would have been lost. As a new business owner, we put our faith in others and hope they do a good job. We are so happy we put our faith in DBS Group. I would highly recommend you to any business owner who is looking for an expert in commercial building.”
