Athens Building Corporation
A Legacy of Construction Excellence
George Avgeros, Business ManagerAthens’ range of services extends far beyond conventional construction, covering the entire spectrum, including design-build services, planning, budgeting, code compliance, and construction management. What truly differentiates the company is its expertise in structural repairs, particularly in condominiums. When original builders cut corners, Athens steps in and delivers proven solutions that ensure long-lasting structural integrity. These are backed by an experienced team driven by the mission to build value while exceeding all expectations.
“Simply having a contractor’s license doesn’t make the cut anymore. You need to have a team of professionals who have the knowledge required to plan and execute projects in a way that offers maximum value for the customer for years to come. That’s our goal,” says George Avgeros, business manager at Athens Building Corporation.
With more than 100 years of combined industry experience, the team offers well-thought-out construction plans and invests time in the planning stage, accompanied by guidance throughout the project, saving both time and money in the long run.
Through an in-depth client engagement process, the team identifies their unique problems, collaboratively designs solutions, secures financing, and manages the entire process, even going as far as to advise clients on certain warranty periods. The commitment to delivering long-term solutions, complemented by an interactive approach, sets Athens apart from contractors who provide time-consuming yet temporary fixes.
All key factors, like availability of raw materials, manpower, and weather constraints, are factored in during the planning phase to avoid delays in the building stage.
Often, situations arise where homeowners, HOAs, or commercial building owners identify construction defects that will likely require expensive repairs. Athens addresses these pain points head-on, designing and implementing valueadding solutions for renovations.
A recent success story underscores Athens’ expertise in this regard. After 18 years, one waterfront property began to cave in due to insufficient structural support combined with the impact of humidity. The team at Athens designed a solution by working with engineers to raise the height of the buildings, provide additional support, and fix damages caused by previous repairs. The successful seven-month project resulted in 30 safe and habitable homes, demonstrating the team’s ability to tackle complex challenges.
Since its inception, Athens has emphasized a "customer first" approach while building a culture driven by trust and long-lasting client relationships. It has achieved a reputation for completing projects on time and within budget, thanks to meticulous planning and leveraging technologies like Build Star, an online platform that facilitates transparent project tracking.

In an industry where short-term solutions are easy but ultimately unsustainable, Athens Building Corporation continues to deliver on its commitment to maintaining the highest level of quality.
