WE ARE ORIGINS
Our Story
Origins Construction was born out of a shared belief that how you build is just as important as what you build. After decades of working across every faucet of commercial construction, Michael Ames & L.D. Harris came together with one goal - to create a firm that puts people and partnerships first.
We didn't want to be just another contractor. We wanted to build things that last. Not just buildings but relationships, reputations and trust. That's what led us to form Origins. The name is a nod to our beginnings but also a reminder that everything we create starts with intention.
We've worked on everything from small tenant infills to large-scale, multimillion-dollar developments across Arkansas and surrounding states. But no matter the size, every project gets our full attention. Every handshake still matters. And every job is personal.
At the core of Origins is a simple but steady approach - do the right thing, do it well and do it with people you're proud to work beside. That's how we built this company. That's how we run it. And that's how we'll continue to grow it.
