DPR Purpose and Core Values
DPR exists
to Build
Great Things.
We conduct all business with
the highest standards of
honesty and fairness; we can
be trusted.
We believe work should be fun
and intrinsically satisfying; if we
are not enjoying ourselves, we are
doing something wrong.
We must be different from and
more progressive than all other
construction companies; we
stand for something.
We believe in continual self-initiated
change, improvement, learning and
the advancement of standards for
their own sake.

Lessons Learned
• Owner Leadership is a MUST
• Integration requires a shared commitment to
owner’s goals
• Early involvement of builders in the design
process
• Co-location of project team
• Keep the responsibility for Virtual and Real
building aligned on projects
PRESENTATION FOR:
BIM VISION, STRATEGY AND IMPLEMENTATION CONF., ABU DHABI| DECEMBER 13-14, 2011
Lessons Learned
 Integrated Process Works
 More anxiety producing but have a better
handle on projects
 Virtual Building is like Real Building and only
way to check Design Completeness
 Creating new roles on projects – Process
Facilitators, BIM Integrators
 Creating new opportunities in our industry
