Contractor Takes Care of You, Your Ohana
By Jackie Perreira
When you choose Atlas Construction, you are choosing an award-winning contractor that has been family owned and operated for four generations. Atlas Construction has been voted Hawaii’s best contractor every year since 2014 and that is because its attention to customer satisfaction is unparalleled. Whatever your home project may be, Atlas is dedicated to not just efficiency, but longevity as well. The company’s goal is to create high-performance homes, or in other words, a green home with an extended lifespan that leaves the smallest ecological footprint possible.
Atlas Construction does this is by carefully curating the materials necessary for your project. The materials it uses go above and beyond building code requirements and the company will make recommendations for types of material that are best suited to the environments your space will be prone to. For example, when building in areas that are exposed to rain, different materials may be needed for a home that requires low maintenance versus an older home.
“Our extensive process is done for two reasons. First, to educate our families about our construction methods, of all costs to complete the project to eliminate change orders, our process, our application and materials, and to
educate homeowners of what an Atlas home entails. Second, it is so that we can ask the correct questions to get the most complete and clear understanding of what the homeowner is looking for,” says Bruce Kim, president of Atlas Construction.
The local business makes sure that it understands your objectives, such as how the space will accommodate your family’s needs, and what you’re trying to accomplish with the construction.
The first step in doing this is a site assessment. “The site assessment will let us know if your property will be able to accommodate these options, such as an ADU, Ohana unit, subdivide, CPR or a duplex. We go through several meetings to explore the various options the homeowners needs and wants to allow the homeowners to make an informed decision,” explains Kim.
After gathering your wants and needs at the initial site assessment, the company then will advise you on how to build most cost effectively and how to optimize your property value, all while keeping your design criteria in mind. Atlas Construction will generate an estimate from the information gathered and check the feasibility of the project in terms of the loan amount. Since the company has kept the business in the family for four generations, Atlas uses a blend of both
tried-and-true methods as well as technologically advanced ones.
Throughout the years, the team members at Atlas has tried many methods and have seen which ones have and have not been effective — which is why they are able to maximize efficiency on all projects. The company utilizes building science by looking into the most current studies and research. This, combined with the extensive research it conducts on the latest building methods, is how Atlas has maintained its reputation as Hawaii’s best contractor.
Ventilation is one of the biggest concerns of homeowners because of Hawaii’s tropical
climate. Atlas addresses this buy assembling walls that are designed to integrate air transfer throughout the whole house.
The company’s designs take into account the weather conditions of each particular home and are built so that both the walls and the roofing are able to provide optimal ambiance for residents.
The business also realizes that renovations can be expensive, so when it comes to executing your project, it can help you build a high-performance home that brings you closer to your break-even point in your investment.
