OCP Contractors, Inc.

OCP's General Manager of the Cleveland office, Sean Parker, recently sat on a panel about Professional Communication at Construction Employers Association (CEA)'s Young Professionals Development Forum!

Santa looks awfully familiar this year🎅 We at OCP would like to wish everyone a wonderful, happy and safe holiday season!

We are thrilled to hear our friends at 15 South Ontario LLC and Kraemer Design Group have been recognized with a Preservation Merit Award from Ohio History Connection’s 2024 State Historic Preservation Office Awards! We are proud to have been a part of the team that brought this historic building back to life. Congratulations to the hardworking OCP team that put in excellent work to complete such a great project!

Happy Veteran's Day! Today, we honor and express our deepest gratitude to all the brave men and women who have served our country. Your courage, dedication, and sacrifice are truly inspiring. A special thank you to our OCP employees who are veterans. We are so proud to have you as part of our team. Thank you for your service!

Members of OCP Toledo gave a hands-on demonstration of metal framing to the Cherry Street Mission Ministries Workforce Development Construction Trades Class which had previously only been instructed in wood framing. This was an introduction of common commercial construction practices as we continue to promote union construction trades with the help of community partners through the Associated General Contractors of Northwest Ohio Construction Leadership Council.

One of our core values is Continuous Improvement and we love getting to see these values in action. Members of OCP Columbus recently participated in the first automatic taping tool repair training hosted by Mark Wilson of Tapetech/Ames and assisted by OCP Superintendent Vince Stiles. At OCP we strive to stand out. To achieve this, we understand we cannot allow ourselves to become complacent with how we operate. We place tremendous value in continual learning and improvement using lean principles.

OCP had a great time attending the Rossford Open House event hosted by the Ohio Carpenters Joint Apprenticeship Training Center and the Central Midwest Carpenters. We had the opportunity to meet with 900 enthusiastic students from all over Northwest Ohio. It was a fantastic experience discussing careers in the trades and teaching them about OCP. The students had a great time trying out the screw gun, adding a hands-on element to their learning experience.

To our Wonderful Supporters: We would like to formally thank everyone who participated in the Inaugural Ajay Stiles Memorial Scholarship Mini Golf Outing on September 5th, hosted by OCP Contractors. We are extremely humbled by the outpouring of love and support from all customers, vendors, companies, unions, and OCP’s support and build teams. The response was so impressive that we have decided to extend the scholarships to include a distribution to families with a graduating senior from OCP Contractors, as well as a golf outing supporter, for the 2024/2025 school year. This event creates a feeling of equal excitement and sadness at the same time, but we keep pushing ahead knowing we need to find some light during our darkness. This outing is a positive step in helping others, while remembering our beloved son. We hope to see everyone next year on Friday, September 12, 2025, at the 2nd Annual Ajay Stiles Memorial Golf Outing, as we are currently making plans for a bigger and better event. With your generous support, we can continue to give hope and encouragement to allow students to chase their dreams and ultimately achieve them. With sincere thanks and gratitude, Vince, Tara, Chase, and everyone from our OCP family.

OCP was proud to support Cleveland Builds as the presenting sponsor of their annual clay shoot event this week. This event helps raise funding for their mission to promote careers in the trades and maintain a more diverse, qualified workforce. Members of OCP Cleveland had a great time participating!

Last week OCP hosted the First Annual Ajay Stiles Memorial Mini Golf Outing. The outing supports the Ajay Stiles Memorial Scholarship Program. Ajay Stiles is the son of Vince Stiles, OCP Columbus Superintendent and Tara Stiles. Ajay tragically passed away on January 23, 2024, unexpectedly after complications from brain surgery. He was only 17 years old. His death has been felt deeply throughout three OCP offices, as well as his entire community in southern Ohio and beyond. Ajay was a remarkable young man whose life touched many, leaving behind an enduring legacy of compassion for others, resilience, deep values, and a strong commitment to his faith. This scholarship program supports individuals who, like Ajay, exhibit unwavering faith in their daily lives, have a love and talent for music and contribute positively to their schools and communities. Thanks to our sponsors, donors and participants, $19,040 was raised and will be donated to the scholarship program.
