Technical Papers
We believe in continual self-initiated change, improvement, learning and the advancement of standards for their own sake. In that vein, DPR employees are constantly sharing our knowledge base and lessons learned. Part of being ever forward is opening a dialog in the industry as a whole and DPR employees have written these technical papers to do just that.

DPR Drywall Modeling: Ever Forward
As building information modeling (BIM) becomes the go-to tool for delivering complex projects faster and more accurately, teams are discovering the benefits of applying virtual design and construction techniques to aspects of projects not typically modeled. Working at the forefront of these advancements are DPR BIM engineers, such as Dan Casale, who has taken his experiences from the field and translated them into a technical overview of the gains made when BIM is used to model metal-stud framing, as DPR is doing on more than 2.6 million sq. ft. of healthcare construction in California and Texas.October 22, 2009

Transcending the BIM Hype
How to make dollars and "sense" from Building Information Modeling
When BIM/VDC first emerged in the commercial construction industry in the 1990s, the consensus was it would revolutionize the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. It offered the promise of substantial cost and time savings on developing projects. The industry and some clients are now starting to see that happen. Project teams are talking about reduced change orders and no MEP conflicts in the field due to BIM coordination. Still, moving BIM from the realm of theory into real-world practice is challenging.September 1, 2006

Collaborating Through the "Perfect Storm" to Deliver Greater Value Using Virtual Design and Construction
At a time when the economy is strong and the work is plentiful in most major market sectors, we are on the brink of a major shift in the way projects are designed and delivered. New thinking and technology have converged to create an explosion in the use of virtual design and construction (VDC), which is proving to enhance value for all project stakeholders.July 1, 2005
