“ We are working for customers who are delivering buildings that have become absolutely critical to our infrastructure ”

Damian Farr , Managing Director Europe , DPR Construction
The company has far from a conventional structure , operating with a shared leadership model . “ We very much have a model of distributed leadership throughout the company , and that resonated with me profoundly ,” Farr explains . “ We ’ re title-less internally , which empowers employees at every level to be independent , do their best and make change for our customers and our business . Put simply , it ’ s really about eliminating barriers between two people having a conversation .”
Effective collaboration has , from the start , been DPR ’ s desire . “ We pioneered integrated project delivery . We bring stakeholders together – architects , customers , trade partners , our own team – right from the outset ,” explains Farr . “ We work in five core markets and we seek to know them very well . We want to work on buildings that matter and also that challenge our teams . That ’ s what we enjoy doing . The collaboration that we bring to our projects is therefore key . We really do like working with customers that we enjoy – a true partner who wants to help us change the world as well .”
