COMMUNITY IMPACT

Building People First

In the memory of their fathers, Ed O'Brien and Reverend Eddie K. Edwards, Tim O'Brien along with Kurk and Jimmi Edwards are committed to continuing their father's vision of "Giving a Hand Up, Not a Hand Out". OECC believes that by building people first, you inherently build better communities. Therefore, we are honored to accept this responsibility as an integral part of OECC's business mission.

Our employees are as passionate about building better communities as we are about construction. More than donating money, it's about creating personal relationships, IMPACTING lives and making a difference in the society that we live. OECC is committed to investing our company resources, both individual and financial, toward organizations and programs that have a positive IMPACT on social issues and community needs.
