Dorado Property

Last week, our team came together for Dorado’s annual planning day, something we look forward to each year.

It’s a chance to pause, connect across offices, and work through the challenges and opportunities shaping our industry. From market shifts to internal goals, these full-day strategy sessions give us the space to think big and align as one team.

A real highlight from this year’s session was the launch of our updated company values. We spent time reflecting on what they mean in practice, and how they’ll guide us through the next chapter of growth.

Clear values. Shared goals. Honest conversations.
That’s what these days are all about.

Thanks team, for another great planning day!

Works are progressing well onsite at this four-storey residential development:

✔ Basement excavation and bulk earthworks completed
✔ Retention piling for the basement and retaining walls is now finished
✔ Shotcreting is underway

Up next: Foundation works are scheduled for completion by late September, with structural works to follow in early October.

Practical completion remains on track for mid-2026.

It’s always great to see the vision for our funded projects taking shape.

A value thats deeply embedded in our culture: Straightforward.

In an industry full of complexity, we’ve always aimed to be the kind of partner who simplifies things, without oversimplifying. We’re clear, honest, and open in our communication, and we don’t overpromise.

There are times when that means saying “no” or setting boundaries early, but we believe that long-term trust is more important than short-term gain.

To us, being straightforward means:
✔ Explaining the risks alongside the opportunities
✔ Communicating clearly and respectfully
✔ Setting realistic expectations
✔ Delivering exactly what we say we will

It’s not flashy, and it’s not always easy but it’s one of the reasons partners come back to us again and again.

For many, this year marks the moment to start asking some hard questions:
Are we scaling in the right way?
Are we giving our people the right tools?
Are we ready to blend human insight with AI capability?

82% of business leaders see 2025 as a pivotal year to rethink operations.

It’s not just about adopting new technology, it’s about being intentional about how we move forward.

55% of Frontier Firm workers say they can handle a higher workload, thanks to the implementation of AI agents.

We’ve recently been exploring Microsoft’s 2025 Work Trend Index, and one thing is clear: AI is no longer a future concept, it’s shown clear advantages when paired with human insight.

We’d love to hear how your organisation is approaching this shift.
