OUR VISION

The Future of Hilweh Builders and

"Your Build, Our Aloha"

 

At Hilweh Builders, our vision is to be recognized as Hawaii’s distinguished design build contractor for industry leadership, volunteering, resource contribution, sustainability, family-safe building practices and team development.

 

We aim redefine the building experience on Oahu under our "Your Build, Our Aloha” collaborative approach to construction and by practicing our Aloha Values today and each day as we aspire to shape the future of construction.

 

Industry Leadership and Collaborative Partnerships:

At Hilweh Builders, our vision extends beyond construction; we aim to be leaders in the building industry, actively shaping the future of construction on Oahu.

 

To achieve this, we are strategically joining the Building Industry of Hawaii (BIA), a hub of expertise and collaboration. Our involvement with BIA is more than a membership; it's a commitment to stay at the forefront of industry advancements, exchange insights, and contribute to vital discussions that define the trajectory of construction in Hawaii. By actively participating in BIA, we not only gain valuable industry knowledge but also establish collaborative partnerships that enhance our capacity to deliver excellence in every project.

 

Our goal is to also empower our users with valuable insights for informed decisions through engaging content on our blog, social media, and various platforms. We will dive into our expertise, stories, and construction updates to keep our community well-informed on industry trends.

 

Community-Centric Volunteering and Resource Contribution:

As part of our commitment to community-centric initiatives, Hilweh Builders proudly volunteers at the Children's Discovery Center (CDC), a non-profit organization fostering children's cognitive, social, and emotional development through engaging exhibits. Beyond offering crucial learning opportunities, the CDC serves as a vital resource for families, providing support through various programs and contributing to the economic vitality of the community.

 

In our dedication to community enrichment, Chad Hilweh, owner and General Contractor, will actively donate his construction labor hours to the CDC, enhancing and maintaining exhibits to ensure the center remains a vibrant space for learning, creativity, and physical activity for the children and families it serves.

 

Sustainable Building Practices:

In our effort to be more eco-friendly, Hilweh Builders has accepted that we have a lot to learn and implement in regard to sustainable building practices. We are committed to taking steps, no matter how little or big, to make Hawaii sustainable for future generations.

 

One way we will accomplish our vision is by earning a LEED (Learn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. A LEED Certification reflects our commitment to using green building practices and energy-efficient designs on our construction and design build services.

 

We will also continue to donate from Reuse Hawaii, reducing waste and supporting sustainable practices. We will also purchase materials from the organization when possible.

 

Family-Centric Safe Practices & LEAD Safety:

At Hilweh Builders, we envision a future where the safety of families sets the gold standard in construction. With a deep understanding as parents ourselves, we are on a journey to elevate our knowledge of building practices and materials that ensure the utmost safety for families, particularly those with young children. Our steadfast commitment is to emerge as design build leaders in championing family safe building practices.

 

As part of our forward-looking vision, we aim to share information, tips, and progressive insights on building material selections such as those that prioritize low VOC, nontoxic materials, and mitigating risks for mold. 

 

In the meantime, we will continue to maintain our Lead Safe Firm Certification and implement safe demolition practices such as utilizing HEPA vacuums, dust barriers and special practices when it comes to canec ceilings. 

 

At Hilweh Builders, our future goal is not just quality construction but also a legacy of excellence in ensuring the well-being and safety of every family we serve.

 

Team Development and Well Being:

Investing in ongoing education, we will ensure our team stays abreast of the latest technologies, materials, and regulations specific to Hawaii's unique construction needs. As we grow, we are building a team of qualified professionals who share our goals and values, embodying the principles of trust, integrity, and Aloha.

 

In the coming years, we'll show our appreciation to our team for staying true to our values. This involves rolling out a robust recognition program, featuring competitive bonuses, clear paths for career advancement, and abundant opportunities for professional development. Our aim is to ensure that our team not only finds fulfillment in their current roles but also envisions a dynamic future within our organization, marked by continuous advancement and personal and professional growth.
