DPR Construction

Commercial Construction Established in 1990. Doug Woods, Peter Nosler and Ron Davidowski, the D, the P and the R, made one of the best business decisions of their lives and started their own company. Armed with $750,000 of pooled resources and a steadfast determination, the three construction veterans set out to do something different in an industry traditionally resistant to change. "At the time, most people thought of construction as more like a manufacturing type business," said Peter. "It's not; it's a service business." "When we started DPR, we wanted to be a customer-focused organization," said Doug. "We're not a hard bid general contractor; we're a negotiating general contractor that takes care of our customers. To do that, we need great people, who are happy and willing to work hard. That's one of the things that started us, making us different from the very beginning."
