How do you give back to your community?

Our mission is to help communities create a safe and sustainable tomorrow. We do this by taking care of our employees and clients, and by supporting organizations that ensure a safer and more resilient future for our island home by advancing sustainability of the built environment across public and private sectors.

What does giving back mean to you?

We are stewards of employee and community well-being, and we actively contribute to sustainable and long-term impact for the people of Hawai‘i.

How have you grown and pivoted in the past five years?

As a full-service structural engineering firm, we are dedicated to the highest level of strategic and technical expertise including state-of-the-art equipment (e.g. drones–aerial images of inaccessible structures, time lapses; subversive remotely operated vehicles; electromagnetic scanning). We are client-focused and foster a culture where ideas and knowledge are readily exchanged, and we provide vital insight and data to drive efficiencies across the development process.

We also provide clients with various types of assessments and inspections. Investing in ways to best serve our clients, we have differentiated ourselves through our use of new technologies and continue to diversify our offerings with unmanned inspections which allows for new methods of documentation along with potential cost-savings during design, bidding, and construction phase of a project. This new service will also enable data collection for 3D modeling and analysis.

What are some challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for your industry?

In a world where structural engineers have a significant responsibility for public well-being, we ensure our team provides the highest level of strategic thinking and technical expertise while closely collaborating with our clients and community.

The strength of our company is in our engineering experience and the number of licensed engineers. We aim to cultivate an environment where ideas, experiences, and knowledge are readily exchanged. We operate as a team with trust, honesty, and adherence to the highest standards of business and professional ethics.

What inspires you?

We are an employee-owned and community-focused company with a deep commitment to the people of Hawai‘i. We foster a culture of continual improvement and innovation.

Sharing our experience and expertise, we support and encourage each other, valuing individual and team well-being and providing our clients maximum value for optimum development and utilization of resources.
