women hired to perform the labor-intensive projects,” the
company says.
“It soon became known that to work for Dexter an individ-
ual had to be above average and believe in the ideals on
which the company was founded.”
Dexter realized early that to meet the needs of his cus-
tomers and enable the company to steadily grow, he would
have to hire knowledgeable individuals with industry expe-
rience and learn from them, BWDII says.
“This has proven to be vital to the company’s success,” it
adds. “Most of [BWDII’s] approximately 200 employees
have been with the company for at least seven years. This
is remarkable in an industry that typically has a high
turnover rate.
“Having established such a strong company base and
solid reputation in the industry, [BWDII] has become known
as a company that can be called upon to meet demanding
project needs such as Foxwoods Resort and Casino, the Moh-
egan Sun Project Sunburst Expansion and various educa-
tional facilities with fast-track schedules.”
