At O’Brien Construction, integrity goes beyond the structure.
For over 60 years, we’ve been building so much more than multi-family housing and commercial buildings. We’re building trust, pride and a better world than it was yesterday — one job at a time.
Because that’s what it means to be Purpose Built.

Our experience had been truly extraordinary. They are hands on, honest, very detailed, and have a first-rate team. I have been in the real estate business since 1978, and I can tell you that they are the best GC I have worked with over the years. I happen to also have been trained as an architect/engineer, so I can appreciate their work professionally as well as from a business relationship standpoint. Their systems are excellent, they have great trade relationships, great municipal relationships, and they are good communicators. I will exclusively use them in the future for our work in Michigan.
