Developing a deep understanding of our customers’ business is why DPR focuses on five core markets. As the Core Market Leader and Leadership Team member, Matt Murphy supports a team of experts in Advanced Technology, Commercial, Healthcare, Higher Education and Life Science projects that comprise approximately 90% of DPR’s work.

DPR’s core market approach helps to ensure that expertise and lessons learned in different geographies are communicated throughout the organization to “consistently replicate pockets of excellence.” The Core Market teams also help customers stay informed on global dynamics and market trends. Matt helps guide these efforts and thrives on connecting the dots, ensuring customers receive consistency of service, no matter where the work is done.

Matt began his career in construction as an estimator for a local sitework company before transitioning into project management. In 2006, he led business development in the Texas region. From there, he became Commercial Core Market Leader and helped to grow DPR’s reputation as a premier builder in that market. Throughout his career, Matt’s been known for being laser focused on the customer and meeting their business needs.

When he’s not working, Matt loves skiing, hiking, hunting, the outdoors, his kids’ games, college football and cooking out. His motto is “help everybody, even when you don’t think it will help you.”
