Construction companies don't go out of business because they lack work. They go out of business because they take on too much work and lose discipline.
In this episode, Eric Anderton talks with DPR Construction leaders Camilo Garcia and Mike Humphrey about how DPR built the discipline that carried the company through multiple boom-bust cycles—from early hypergrowth to market volatility in the 2000s, the 2009 downturn, and today's AI-driven data center surge.
They explain how DPR protects its culture through disciplined hiring, empowers teams with freedom within a framework, stays selective with customers and markets, and scales using operating ranges based on people—not just revenue.
If you're leading a construction company in a high-demand market, this episode shows how DPR stays disciplined while growing.
