Kyle Alexander
OwnerAcademy of Kung-Fu - O’Brien Constructors and Pat O’Brien specifically, have been one of the most consistent, best performing general contractors I have worked with over my 25+ year career. I would strongly
recommend you consider them as your general contractor.
David Vonada
PrincipalAnkrom Moisan AA - [O'Brien Constructors] is clearly an extra-effort organization which goes above and beyond the call of duty to ensure a quality product and customer statisfaction.
Marilyn McGlasson
SuperintendentBanks School District - I have been extremely pleased with their performance, integrity and commitment to quality, workmanship, and completion of successful projects. … I know of few contractors who would have
spent the time and been as committed to the project completion and safety of the students and staff as O'Brien Constructors. O'Brien Constructors have demonstrated that they are an exceptional
firm and I would not hesitate to recommend them.
Leslie Imes
Project ManagerBeaverton School District - The planning and construction of our winery addition has been a most satisfying collaboration. Your patience and ingenuity in finding ways to make it work without cutting corners or lowering
quality standards were admirable. Pat, you built us a beautiful building that surpassed our expectations. Thank you.
Patricia Dudley
OwnerBethel Heights Vineyard - I want to express our appreciation to all of the O'Brien [Constructors] team members for their hard work and customer focused attention to detail. Pat, we look forward to working with you and
your team on the next project.
Russ Morgan
PresidentBushwacker - I am writing to express my appreciation of all your company's efforts related to our Day Surgery Unit renovation project at Tuality Hospital. From our working together successfully on past
projects, I am not surprised to see this project going smoothly. I want to thank you for the cooperative and creative efforts to find ways to cut costs when it was needed and the straightforward
accounting and project management on your part.
J. Thomas Clark Jr.
ArchitectClark/Kjos Architects - Pat O'Brien was there every step of the way. From meeting with our winemaker to discuss winery operations, to working with the design team to see that the final product supported that vision,
he has been an essential member of our team.
Mike Sweeney
OwnerCHerry Hill Winery - I just wanted to write a short note to you commending your company on the great job they did renovating Weber Hall, under what most people would consider very tight time constraints.
Dennis Stoecklin
Chief Financial OfficerConcordia University - I am still not sure how we did it but it was endemic of the entire process … whatever the problems or conflicts, thing simply went forward. Now, I can finally stand back and look at
a building rather than a construction project -- and what a building it is. Though I have lived with its unfolding from the very first spade of earth turned, I don't think I will ever be complacent
with the beauty and care that it manifests. But moreso, it works. We defined some very precise specifications — from 6000 miles distant — to a firm that had never built anything resembling
a winery. That you produced what you did is indelible testimony to the belief that one can accomplish anything one desires with enough creativity and commitment. Thank you, Pat.
Bill Hatcher
General managerDomaine Drouhin Oregon - … [Their absolute commitment to customer service] clearly sets them apart from most of their competition. Some people talk about doing this, and some people do it. On a daily basis, their
commitment on this project was to serve the needs of the school district in every possible way. … They listen, they are responsive, and they look you in the eye and are honest about problems
and solutions. You can't ask for more than that.
Daniel J. Hess
ArchitectDull Olson Weekes Architects - Teamwork is an essential part of any successful construction project and O'Brien Constructors demonstrated the ability to work as a team over and above the call of duty. O'Brien's project management

years of detention construction.

in Oregon. We have had the opportunity to work on several projects with them and have found the entire staff enthusiastic and responsive. Pat's fundamental understanding of the winemaking process,
material selection, combined with his attention to detail and ability to think outside the box would be an important contribution to any winery design team.
