Origin Building Group

Origin Building Group (OBG) is the absolute best for Pool & Patio Installation. Looking to transform your yard? Manny and his entire team will make it a smooth process for anyone. Excellent communication, straight-forward billing with no deviations from our contract. Very drama-free experience. OBG gladly accepts the challenges of working with Coral Gables which has an unbearably long permit process but once we got permit the work began and finished timely. Special thanks to Luis for taking the time to inform us where we were in the process, manage the schedule, then explain pool equipment basics + functions to us. We had to bury our electrical cables and OBG made it happen. Our yard required a block wall, picket and chain link fencing for safety, and OBG handled all this too. We opted to add a spa and OBG built it with a smile. Thanks OBG for making our dream pool & backyard a reality!

If you are looking for excellent craftsmanship, communication as to each step of the job and rapid resolution to any problems that may arise Origin Building Group is the company for you! My job was rather simple. New coping, tile and resurfacing of the swimming pool. But it was handled with the upmost of care. Once I signed my contract Manny told me where to go to choose the coping and gave me a website for the tile. He told me the tile and coping would be received in a week. Believe it or not exactly one week later he contacted me and told me tile had arrived but no coping yet. When was the last time a contractor updated you within the promised time frame? Two days later a young man by the name of Luis came and introduced himself as the person who was going to oversee the job. I do not know Luis' title, but I will call him the supervisor. He was a gem to work with! I told him about a stain on the wall that I thought was a piece of metal breaking through. Luis was attentive and made me feel at ease. Luis just like Manny kept me advised of the next step in the process. In came the crew to do the demolition and install the new coping and tile. Three days later coping and tile installed. Luis got a plumber to fix main drain; a problem not initially budgeted for. In one week, pool was drained, demolition of coping and tile and new coping and tile installed! Next came the plastering of the pool. It was done in one day. Once plaster was complete, they filled the pool with water. This is where I became concerned! The pool had yellow stains! I called Manny and Luis in a panic. I thought, I have made my final payment they are not going to help me. Wrong! Luis came over along with Emilio from the pool company. Luis kept talking to me to calm me down. Both Luis and Emilio brushed the entire pool multiple times. Manny texted me to let me know he was in communication with his team throughout the day and for me to know they were working to resolve the issue. I was truly amazed! The customer service, the willingness to resolve any issues that arose. No other company I have ever done business with has ever responded in this manner. Way to go Origin!

We worked with Origin Building Group on our pool, deck, and outdoor BBQ area, and overall had a very positive experience. Like many others have mentioned, the quality of the finished product is what really stands out. We’re extremely happy with how everything turned out — the space looks great and functions exactly how we envisioned. The project did take longer than initially expected, but based on our experience (and what others have noted), a lot of that comes down to permitting and city approvals rather than the contractor itself. That seems to be a common challenge with these types of projects. Manuel, the owner, was responsive and stayed involved throughout the process. When issues or mistakes came up — which is pretty normal in construction — he addressed them and worked toward a resolution. He was also reasonable and flexible when it came to change orders, which we appreciated.
