About DBS
One team. From first sketch to final handover.

Design + Build, one contract

Our story
Buildings turn out better when the people who design them and the people who build them are the same team.
That is how DBS has worked for more than 25 years, across long term care, transitional health and seniors living in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Ontario. These are regulated care environments: provincial design standards, licensed operators, publicly announced opening dates. Nine provincial nursing homes delivered under one contract, all operational as planned. Nova Scotia's first stand-alone transitional health centre. The lessons from each building carry into the next.

The ACL Group
Backed by the ACL Group of Companies, built to be here in another 25.
Privately held, spanning transportation, healthcare, IT and real estate. That footing lets us commit to decade-long pipelines and stand behind every building we deliver.
Twenty-five years in. Just getting started.
