What to expect when working us.

Developing a family dream-home on Kaua’i is complicated.  People need a local partner they can trust.  Someone who can provide quality designs that reflect the discriminating tastes and sophisticated needs of savvy Owners.  They need someone who can successfully navigate community design committee requirements and the tangled permitting process.  Someone with a track record of successfully organizing local labor and supply resources in an efficient manner that brings projects to a timely completion.
