DPR Construction is on a path to be Integral and Indispensable to our communities.

DPR’s vision is to be integral and indispensable to our communities. We do this through local initiatives that match the needs of the communities where we work with the skills and passions of DPR employees. Our “local” area extends beyond our regional offices to our jobsites, where our teams are often called on to share their talents with our community. Beyond building buildings, DPR offers our expertise in organizational leadership, project planning, soft-skills training, marketing and other professional areas.

“The best way to truly make a positive impact is to understand the needs and match those with our strengths as a company,” said Peter Nosler, DPR’s co-founder who serves in leadership roles for the company’s Community Initiatives efforts and on the DPR Foundation board. “We want to focus our energies in targeted areas, and go deeper to make a greater impact.”

They are gathered outdoors, with some holding items and one person wearing sunglasses on her head. The group appears to be participating in a community or team event.
