Company History

We are a locally-owned and locally-managed small business that was incorporated in Hawaiʻi in 2001. Starting with three employees, we opened our first office in Kailua. Over time, we moved into a series of larger offices, all in Kailua, to accommodate our growing staff, finally settling into our current office space in 2009.

Initially, our work came from the commercial and industrial sectors. Following our acceptance into the Small Business Administration 8(a) program in 2003, our work was nearly evenly divided between federal contracts and the commercial and industrial sectors. In 2012, we graduated successfully from the 8(a) program.

We have continued to grow from our original three employees and currently have 21 full-time employees. Our work also expanded and has come to include contracts from the Hawaiʻi State government in addition to our federal, commercial, and industrial clients.
