Dexter Construction Company Ltd - Bedford, Nova Scotia

Ryan McCaughan

I've had the absolute pleasure of watching Dexter completely ignore any attempt at providing accessibility in their construction zones in the north end all summer. Mobility issues? Guess you can't get around your own neighbourhood. They've left garbage and massive holes all over the neighbourhood and block off sidewalks for weeks without actually doing any work. Not to mention the local small businesses struggling as any potential safe entrance is blocked off, preventing people from accessing them. They're either incompetent or inconsiderate and the city needs to find better partners to do work here, as they clearly don't care about anything other than themselves.

I would rate this business zero stars if I was able to.

For the past few weeks, Dexter has rendered my small business inaccessible at a basic level.

They have, on several occasions now, blocked sidewalk access from both sides of our shop, while the street is also closed for car access. They have made ineffective and unsafe efforts, at best (and typically no efforts at all) to redirect foot traffic to our small business. Our sales are suffering significantly as a result.

We have received almost no communication from the construction company, other than the same paper notice that the residents around our shop have received, with little information about what is actually happening and how they are managing the situation for accessibility.

FYI Our shop is not a residential unit and I’m appalled to know that you are allowed, by the city regulations, to treat our storefront the same as any other residential home in the neighborhood.

Do better than you’ve been doing, our city deserves basic accessibility at the very least.

Horrible company to work for definitely need a union in there work you like a dog and don't wanna pay out a Reasonable wage, have to drive home every weekend cause they don't wanna pay for the hotle over the weekend , also will get you to do jobs that should be higher paid and then lay you off when you ask about where the pay wage , horrible company to work for robbing young fellows that don't know any better. They really need to range how they treat people when not even giving brakes they don't even care if you eat threw the day it's like being in jail or a Dictatorship, only start overtime after 110 hours a week so you never hit that litterly horrible they truly shouldn't be proud of how they run there company.

dexters owns many companies...eastern traffic control ...that isn't up to old dexters view of excellence ...traffic controllers throwing garbage everywhere on public roads along with the endless amount of cigarette butt's they throw away...I would have thought a company with the reputation that dexter has would run a tighter shift...but that isn't the case...& I couldn't even contact anyone at eastern traffic as they only have an automated answering system to leave a complaint...shame on you DEXTERS CONSTRUCTION ?

They are the main community sponsor for the Light Up Bedford Santa parade. Can they give the parade committee above and beyond assistance on the run-up to the parade on parade day. And for tear down afterwards. They offer us a large warm well-lit Bay build Santa's float and tear it back down again when the parade is over.

Terrible drivers. Threatening women out the window of one of your company trucks. I would never have men like the ones you have working for you be anywhere near my home and if anyone told me they did contract you, I’d make sure they cancelled.
