History

In July 1990, DPR Construction was co-founded in Redwood City, California, by Doug Woods, Peter Nosler and Ron Davidowski (the D, the P and the R) with $750,000 of pooled resources. By the end of its first year, DPR had 10 employees.[3] Among the company's earliest projects were a six-month, $4.5 million tenant-improvement project for Argo Systems in Sunnyvale, California, which was followed by a $43 million wafer fabrication project for Rockwell International in Los Angeles, California.[4]

In 1992, DPR was awarded the Terraces skilled nursing facility.[5] In 1994, DPR Construction was awarded a $43 million semiconductor fabrication plant in Los Angeles, California, for Rockwell International.[6] Many projects followed building information modeling (BIM) and sustainable construction.

In 1999, a year before the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) launched its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification program,[7] DPR was awarded its first green project: a 110,000-sq.-ft. campus for Aspect Communications.[8] Designed by William McDonough + Partners[9] and Form4 Architects[10] and completed in 2001, with the headquarters in San Jose, California.[11] [12]

In 2003, DPR's Sacramento regional office became the first privately owned LEED-certified building in California's Central Valley.[13] [14] In 2010, DPR's San Diego regional office became the first commercial building to achieve both LEED-NC Platinum and net-zero energy status in San Diego.[15]

In April 2013, DPR acquired Atlanta-based Hardin Construction Company LLC.[16] The following month, DPR's LEED-NC Platinum Phoenix regional office became the largest building in the world to achieve Net-Zero Energy Building certification from the International Living Future Institute's Living Building Challenge.[17] [18] Later that year, in October, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation Corporate Headquarters built by DPR achieved Net-Zero Energy Building certification from the International Living Future Institute's Living Building Challenge.[19]

In 2014, DPR's San Francisco regional office became the city's first net-zero-energy-designed office building.[20] [21]

Organization

There are approximately 9,000 staff members in the company.

The company serves customers nationally and internationally through regional offices around the country. DPR has 30 office locations throughout the U.S., international offices in Seoul, South Korea, Singapore, and several in Europe, and is headquartered in Redwood City, California.[22] [23]
