When we envisioned this issue of Great Things, we wanted to share where DPR is headed: showcasing stories of how our people, partners, customers and communities push our industry in innovative and ever forward ways. We also want to acknowledge today’s ever-changing environment, which has given rise to an uncertainty that currently underpins everyone’s way of life. We assure you that DPR remains committed to taking care of our people, projects and customers.
In times like these, we reflect on DPR’s own history. The last two decades taught us a lot about increasing our ability to master our own fate, despite the impact of external factors that we cannot control. We believe that working together and leveraging our collective strengths are key in a shifting economic and industry landscape.
As we expand our capabilities to meet the needs of the future, we are laser-focused on protecting the health, safety and wellbeing of our people and project teams. We are also committed to testing, investing and scaling strategies to deliver high-quality projects more efficiently.Three such strategies, prefabrication, Virtual Design and Construction, and self-perform work, are highlighted in the stories that follow.
We remain hopeful that even while we are encouraged to physically distance ourselves, we will come together in mind and spirit, collaborating and innovating to transform the industry and change the world. Ever forward.
