DMD Construction

Scott is now operating the company Select PDL.

Scott Dallaire with Select PDL is a liar, a thief and a bully.

Google his name, not his current company name.

He is on his 5th company since 2014. He rips people off and then when the negative reviews start piling up, he changes his phone number and starts a new company.

Scott and I agreed on a contract for $38 000 to finish my basement. I paid him $36 000 and all I got were rough ins done!

Scott said the plumbing budget for my project was $4000 - $6000. He said the cheapest plumbing quote was $16 000. That was a lie. (But I didn't know and paid him an extra $6000). Turns out the plumber only charged Scott $4300 and Scott didn't pay him! There is a lien on my house from the plumber not being paid.

Scott was being prepaid in installment payments. Consumer protection has since told me he doesn’t have the license required to be getting prepaid, and hence is operating his company illegally. He said he couldn't finish because I was so far over budget. Umm, isn't that the point of a contract? We agree on a price and you do the work you said you were going to do? Not in Scott's world, apparently.
Lies and theft are more Scott's speed.

He quoted me $27 000 to finish my project!
I'm not joking.
According to the original quote I have paid Scott $36 000 and should only have another $2 000 to pay to get a finished basement and he "felt bad about how things ended" and offered to finish it for an extra $25 000. What a gem.

He sent me an email threatening me if I said anything negative about his company. Here is a direct quote from the email, "Go ahead with your worst, because when I come back at you, you’re gonna have to sell your fking house to buy your kid food because I will destroy you financially forever."
Also in the email he said, "Now, stfu and go away. Before I am FORCED TO RETALIATE. I am so extremely creative it is bananas! "
He called me a c*nt in a different email. lol

After Scott dropped me and I started asking his subtrades about how much they had been paid, Scott threatened the HVAC mechanic with legal action if he told me anything about pricing. Sounds like an honest businessman, huh?

Over text Scott has threatened me with a lawsuit. Scott makes up numbers ranging from $10 000 to $20 000 of what he’s paid out of pocket on my job. He says he will drag me through the legal system if I start st with him. So let me get this straight, I purchased the permits, did the framing and had an approved drawing before you started. And you’re claiming for only rough in’s only you have spent $56 000. Wow. That’s super believable. He’s very upset because I threatened to tell the world about his work. He says he won’t stand by while I slander him. (I don’t think he understands what the word slander means).

Scott constantly talked st about his trades to me in person.

My story is classic of what he’s done under his other companies.

Scott says in his website that he has teams of professionals. He doesn’t. He has a history of both ripping off homeowners and sub trades. He scrambles to get guys to work for him. This was the HVAC guys first and last job with him. I strongly suspect he ripped off the concrete guy too. He fired him and immediately changed the lockbox code. Just like the plumber. Hmmm.

Scotty Delnarrr is the worst contractor in all of western Canada. I did some labouring for him and during my brief and painful experience working beside this guy I can confirm he is a compulsive liar. He was notorious for leaving incomplete jobs behind after he got paid in full by customers up front to finish them. He would simply block a customers phone calls when they called for answers. It took 18 months of me chasing him down for $800 in unpaid wages before I finally gave up on sg Scotty and cut ties with this career criminal fraudster. Do yourself a favour and hire an actual certified tradesmen over this goof.

This guy is now operating under Grand Construction Limited in Edmonton and he has changes his phone number as well

Scott David Dallaire of DMD construction is a scammer and a dubious building site supervisor. His DOB: 07-Feb-1985, Height 180cm Hair: Brown
My Gut cringe each time I remember all the warnings/advice I got from all his workers and numerous girlfriends he brought to my basement to work.
He is terrible and he will come up with many lies and faking illness for a job he promised and signed to deliver in 6 weeks but 31 weeks now and counting but not able to deliver even after getting full payment and many undertakings. Never ever near him... even his numerous girl friends came to me to warn me about him but because I was stock with him after giving him most of the building cost, I just had to feign ignorance and pray that he completed my basement, but he never did just as I was warned by numerous people.
, DMD Construction and I entered a contract in February 2021 for a new basement, I found him on kijiji.
One of the earlier reviews is very similar to mine because he just uses the same tactics with everyone until he is final nailed and maybe jailed for his dubious acts
Scott uses low estimate and his pre-paid contracting licensing as a bait to earn a contract, both are good for nothing because he will leave you high and dry by abandoning the work after taking 50% of the money in advance, Before the contract is signed he will be the most polite and respectful person on the earth and any work that you may ask him to include as a favor under the roof that's not a part of the contract he will gladly agree to do it for no extra charge, After the contract is signed any question you ask him he will reply with an intimidating tone and he will say that he will charge you for anything that's even a part of the contract. Scott hunts for his workers (Plumbers, Carpenters, Drywallers) on *** but he says he has licensed and bonded workers that are lined up and waiting to start the work. He pays his workers by cash but does not pay what was promised to the workers. Just a week after we started the work his carpenter came to our door and warned me about Scott that he did not pay him as promised and advised me to be careful about making payments to Scott. How I wish I had listened to the carpenter, plumber, his current and ex-girlfriends he scoped to work on his sites; The total cost of the basement development as per the contract was $26,000.00 his contract did not include date of completion of work and it was just drafted on a plain sheet of paper could not look any more unprofessional, I paid him $12,000 (with Proof) in total and the work he completed was to pull electrical and plumbing roughing and permits, for a simple basement plumbing work he had 3 different plumbers working, one trying to fix the previous plumbers messy job and for a mere balance of remaining he still had to complete mudding and taping, ceiling drywall texture, flooring, bathroom fixtures, doors, trims, painting, electrical fixtures and wet bar and after an incomplete drywall work. He normally uses the card of having a lawyer to threaten is clients for the full balance deposited to his lawyer’s trust in 72 hours to complete the remaining work, failing which he will abandon the work(SMS Proof).

He had promised to start the mudding and taping following week after he receives the pre-payment after drywall(SMS Proof), last payments was made on time but he disappeared with the money and additional 2200I gave him for proper sound proofing. Even the sound proofing he agreed with me initially to soundproof it properly. Scott did not give us his lawyer’s information first to discuss regarding this deposit of funds. He could not meet his own deadline, after the 72 hours has lapsed he sends a trust agreement for me to sign and the trust agreement did not include the date of completion of work, did not include HVAC permit that he never pulled but was part of “Applicable permit” as per the contract (Scott kept denying that a HVAC permit was not required), I was able to prove Scott that the HVAC permit was required by forwarding him the email that I received from the city's HVAC technical advisor and then he agreed that he was wrong and he was apologetic for not being up to date(SMS Proof). Through his trust agreement he wanted me to agree to a condition where I will have to refrain from posting any negative reviews about him or his company on any social media platforms or *** sites. His lawyer said that Scott will not agree to any trust agreement that does not include a clause of Nondisclosure or disparagement agreement(Posting negative reviews), after 1 month of negotiation between my lawyer and his lawyer I finally even agreed to not post any reviews on any social media or *** as well but the funds will be released through my lawyer to his lawyer which itself guarantees his payments. This guy does not care about breaching the contract or any complaints posted on ***, as he has mastered the art of earning a contract hook or crook. I sent him a final email after his lawyer stopped responding to my lawyer that I wanted to sort things out amicably and that I’m willing to agree to all his trust agreement conditions, he still did not respond to my email. Whatever the consequences are for his spurious and ultra sub-standard work, he simply does not care. He will keep finding ways to earn a contract and keep cheating people. Do all your research before you enter a contract, there are many reputed companies who will do a great job and will abide to contract and will take payments only after the completion of work at each stage. An absolute pathetic destructive experience is all I had after saving my hard-earned blood and sweat money all to lose it to this guy. Since he did not pull HVAC permit and the ceiling drywall has been closed now, we must now apply for HVAC permit and remove the closed ceiling drywalls for inspection, he has caused nothing but anguish and nightmare in our lives. In the era of social media a business can be run very effectively by promoting their company via social media, DMD construction does not have any social media account, but has an outdated *** account that has been inactive for a very long-time probably he has the fear of receiving his customers wrath of reviews for his ultra-sub standard work, Time and again Scott has proven that he was wrong and yet he had the audacity to breach a contract, I don’t understand on what basis he has been cheating people like this, how long can he go on like this? I have SOLID proofs for every accusation I have made on him and his company and finally, I will not let him walk away with my hard-earned money whatsoever, I have prepared to file a civil suit against Scott D. and His company DMD construction, I have gathered all proofs against him, I will be suing his a[censored].
