“DBS Starting an Exciting Barn Conversion Project!” “Exciting news from DBS! We’ve begun the first of two barn conversion projects for one of our valued clients. The transformation is underway, starting with the removal and replacement of the roof. Stay tuned for more updates as the project progresses!”

The all new and improved DBS website is now well under way, the main structure is all up and running and I am now testing the functionality and improving the design and usability of the sections… Let me try the blog posting feature to our Socials, see how X, FB and IG handle it… This may take a while 😬

Yet another Project interrupted by COVID-19 – Re-Started DBS managed to get most of the external works on this project completed prior to lockdown, this involved some large concrete pads, a new courtyard, structural repairs to a whole corner of the barn complex and new drainage. In the last couple of weeks, our teams have re-mobilised to start phase 2 of the works which involves re-roofing, and converting the barns internal areas into a teaching block, kitchenette, and a new toilet block. DBS is really pleased to be doing this Care Farm Project and look forward to the day the […]

Canopy Replacement Program in full swing Yet another project interrupted by the pandemic, again supplies were a bit erratic to start with and new processes for our dedicated team to set up and learn. These are not a simple task, with steel reinforced concrete having to be removed and very challenging access to ensure these are removed safely and as cleanly as possible (certainly not the cleanest of jobs when wet cutting to eradicate dangerous dust) using access towers and heavy lifting equipment. We are really pleased how things are now progressing on these, there have been a few hic-ups […]

Bungalow hit by lightning – DBS rebuilding from the ground up It was a sad day walking around this property for the first time, a family’s home destroyed in a flash. Our first job was to remove the contents and then dismantle and clear the whole property to the ground…. This was another project hit by the Lockdown, our Skip supplier suddenly slowed down due to reduced staff and infrequent skip exchanges followed. DBS’s team eventually managed to get the site clear. Here are some photos… How we found it – Before Lockdown.   Clearing Site – all carfully done […]

COVID-19 Interrupted works on Public Convenience projects Just Before the lockdown DBS started the refurbishment of several blocks of public toilets that were having long overdue refurbishments. DSS’s teams had great starts on several sites, all materials were ordered and Manufacturing of cubicles etc were under way… THEN IT HAPPENED Initial  lockdown happened and our teams altered the way we were working to try to complete the works for the ‘End of March Deadline’ which WAS going to be a formality – But then the MAIN LOCKDOWN kicked in and supplies dried up, Factories closed down and we couldn’t even […]

DBS were working on some great projects before the lockdown, and once these were all snowballed we took time to reflect. So, during the lockdown period DBS utilised the time to scrutinise and update our procedures and systems to ensure that when we returned back to sites, works would be carried out more effectively, efficiently and more safely than ever. DBS have invested time and money to help improve internal & external communications, our organising and collaboration abilities and the wellbeing our our teams, all this with the aim of improving our quality of delivery and continued client satisfaction Now […]
