My experience with DPR has been outstanding. Safety, quality, schedule execution and budget control are key measures that I rate contractors on, and DPR is one of the finest firms. They balance all to a very high level. As a valued team member, DPR engages the owner, architect/engineer and key stakeholders to provide guidance, management and expert direction in a unique and much-appreciated manner.
