Agape Construction Company Stay Where You Are...Have The Home Of Your Dreams Despite the economic challenges of the past couple years, Agape Construction Company, A Design and Build Firm, is responding to the unique needs of clients regardless of the project’s size. President Kevin O’Brien has used the opportunity to not only strengthen and streamline Agape’s operations but also to serve those in need.“In order to survive and prosper, every company needs to continue to adapt to the unique needs of their customers and we’ve been able to do that, in spite of the sluggish economy,” says Kevin. “Two years ago, we started investigating, and have now implemented, a number of cost saving measures and are passing them on to our customers.” ![]() With Kevin being a licensed engineer and Laurie Smith, an award winning architect with fabulous creative vision, Agape’s team provides a perfect blend of architectural design and technical expertise at a price point that can meet their client’s budget. As a design and build firm, Agape will listen and then design to their budget. Their design agreements range in price from $500 - $3500 depending on the scope of the project. As a bonus, the availability of these professionals considerably shortens the design and build process. “Designing to their budget is a very valuable and appreciated service to our clients. A traditional architectural firm will prepare a set of drawings, which is expensive, and usually then has to send it out for bids and, in many cases, it can come back over budget, so then they have to re-draw, re-design, re-figure the cost.” In contrast, Agape teams up with architect Laurie Smith, who spends a lot of time building relationships, really listening to the clients to learn what they want and need. Kevin explains, “The result of this process is overwhelmingly positive, especially when customers preview designs customized to their unique living situation. Clients love the fact that with Agape it’s a seamless process from start to finish because Agape will build what they have designed.” Agape’s reputation for doing excellent quality work in a cost effective and efficient manner remains unchanged from when the firm was established 25 years ago. “We’re simply responding to the fact that so many potential clients seem to be looking for the lowest price possible,” reports Amy O’Brien, Office Administrator. “Our customers have been particularly pleased to learn that we’ve doubled the length of the builder’s warranty.” “We have been blessed with a constant stream of customers throughout the economic slowdown and are deeply grateful to report the majority of our new business continues to come from word of mouth,” Amy says. Agape specializes in moderate projects as well as whole house renovations and new custom homes. Regardless of the size of the project, Agape can help you

“As a Christian family owned business, our company’s mission is to do everything as if for the Lord, to the best of our abilities, with absolute honesty, and the interest of others forefront in our minds,” Kevin adds. His and Amy’s faith have led them to helping those in need, locally as well as in Haiti. “God has blessed our business and we are happy to help others in need,” he concludes.
