“I came by your office last week to say Thank You! I wanted to reinforce what I told David Heller, the ABC Lobby looks absolutely beautiful.
Being in the industry, this is an example of what I preach daily–people make the biggest difference! Thank you for putting David and Marcy on the project. Their leadership and personal commitment to the project brought the results we expected.”

“On behalf of the City of Coconut Creek, I want to let you know how pleased we are with Big Dog’s work on our City Hall Renovations. This $1 million, two-phase job included renovations to the lobby, restrooms, and city manager’s office. Phase 1 was completed 8 weeks ahead of schedule, and Phase 2 was completed 10 weeks ahead. There were no in-scope change orders and a minimal punch list. All work was done while City Hall remained operational. Great care was taken to keep all public areas clean. BDCSI kept me apprised of the schedule and what was happening. They worked with me, the building department, and inspectors daily to ensure the project was completed to the City’s satisfaction in the shortest time possible without sacrificing quality. I look forward to working with them on future projects.”

“I deal with many people each day in the course of running my companies. It is refreshing to come across people like Dave and Rhonda. Not only do they work with honesty and integrity, but they have demonstrated over and over their willingness to go the extra mile. Their ability to work through difficult situations and quickly develop alternative plans when required has made them vital members of our team. It is rare to find a contractor with the breadth of knowledge and experience that Dave has, especially when it is also accompanied by the personality to make any building project as pleasurable as possible.”

“I have found Dave to be a man of integrity, honesty, and competence.”

“His knowledge, acumen, and experience in this profession created an environment of success, cost effectiveness, and compliance with code as well as a schedule for construction. A consummate professional.”
Christopher Cotler
“David is the type of client that a professional consulting firm loves to work with. He is diligent in ensuring that you are provided all the needed information to meet your contract requirements and is a very effective communicator. As everyone knows, construction never goes perfectly, but David was always able to keep everything and everyone on track with his realistic and problem-solving mindset. David is a true professional and a leader in our industry.”
Randall Bagwell
“I knew that that the GC that was hired for my current project had already caused setbacks that impacted not only the project, but ultimately my reputation!
I came across Big Dog after seeing their quality work at the Marina Offices on Williams Island in Aventura. David and Rhonda visited the site of my current project the very next day. I was so impressed by their professionalism that I resorted to a move every designer tries to avoid — I terminated the contract with the GC a month before the project’s scheduled completion. In one day, I fired one GC and hired Big Dog for what would ultimately be two initial projects, followed by future additional work together.
After week one, I knew I found the right company. It wasn’t just their quality of work, attention to details, experience and problem solving, but especially the concern and care for the site at any moment. My reputation was saved because of the Big Dog team. I couldn’t have delivered the beautiful and perfectly crafted work that I wanted for my clients if it hadn’t been for the quality of work Big Dog stands for every single time.
I am excited at all that we have achieved together and for my client. I look forward to working with the Big Dog Family on many projects to come.”

“David Rosenof’s support of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance and our Permitting Action Team has been tremendous. David has served since 2016 on the Permitting Action Team and on the Chair’s Advisory Committee. His contribution has been invaluable. His focus was on the permitting process during his term as President of the Broward League of Cities, while he was also serving as Vice Mayor of the City of Parkland. His goal was to look at best practices within the County that could become unified in operations, as well as standards that all municipalities could adopt. David, to this day, is still focused on that mission and direction.
His experience as a former elected official and his work as a General Contractor blend the perspectives of the private and public sector, as well as the municipalities. This comprehensive view and his ownership of a private construction company drive him to continually strive to make permitting business-friendly in Broward County.
Big Dog Construction Services became an active member of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance and has been deeply involved in the economic development and jobs growth mission of the Alliance. Over the years, Alliance Staff members have called upon David for assistance. He has always said “yes” to the task.
I respect David as a businessman but, more importantly, consider David a personal friend. I enjoy working at David’s side as we continue our focus of economic development for Broward County.”

“It has been my pleasure to work with David on large commercial building projects — his intelligence, diligence and professionalism make him stand out from the rest. He has taken complicated issues and clearly stated his objectives while working towards a common goal — to reach a fair, equitable resolution.”
Kim Dodd
“Dave is the ultimate professional bringing customer service to a new level in the construction and real estate development business. His attention to detail, accessibility, and willingness to go “the extra mile” made it a pleasure to work with him on projects.”
Bruce Miller
“Big Dog is a big deal — the real deal! They exceeded my expectations in identifying and repairing a complicated ceiling leak without a hint of any work having been done. The job required two stories of scaffolding, removing my eight-layer Art Deco chandelier, and putting it all back together flawlessly. The Big Dog crew did a wonderful job! Everyone involved was professional, neat and a pleasure to have in my home. What a great company — old fashioned work ethic with reliable pros! Thanks for a job well done. I’m a fan. I highly recommend them.”
Sandy Baker
“I have known David Rosenof professionally and personally since January 1998 when I represented SMS as the Assistant General Manager of the Broward Civic Arena, now known as the BB&T Center. David served as Project Manager for the general contractor. For the last nine months of construction and the following two years of operation we were in frequent contact about the operator’s perspectives and needs. David was genuinely interested in understanding those operational needs and where possible making sure they were satisfied.
When I was sent to Houston as the Director of Operations for what is now NRG Stadium, Convention Center, Arena and Astrodome, David always answered my calls for expert advice and assistance on construction and renovation projects.
After being appointed Director of Operations of the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center, I continued to rely on David for that same expert advice and assistance for over 10 years because I knew I could rely on his extensive construction knowledge involving large projects, project planning and management experience, understanding of arena and convention center operational considerations and unquestioned personal and professional integrity.
I am pleased to recommend David Rosenof and Big Dog Construction Services for any project that requires the skills and qualities described above.”
David Rosenof completed this project while employed by Centex Rooney Construction Company.

“We’ve been working with Dave and Rhonda from Big Dog Construction Services for most of the Southwest Airlines project at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport. They provide semi-skilled and skilled workers for various general trades work including clean-up, escort for unbadged workers and support for work back-charged to other subcontractors. Throughout the inevitable last-minute emergencies and curve balls thrown at them, Rhonda has been especially organized providing the manpower and documentation necessary to keep things moving. We look forward to working with the Big Dog team again soon!”
Big Dog worked as a CBE partner to Hunt/Moss JV.

“New loft built by Big Dog — the workpersonship is spot on. They use top quality subs who clean up every day. We lived in our house and cooked every morning and night while they added a ceiling to my kitchen with the floor in the loft over ahead. They removed our stairs and put in a new safer staircase. Thanks Dave, Rhonda, Joe, and crew!”
Lori Parrish
“Dave always responded in a timely manner with manpower, equipment and the know-how to deal with any size problems. Further, his ability to negotiate with our insurance company, as well as perform the final repairs makes him a valuable asset to our building.”
