For more than half a century, HK Construction has been a trusted name in Hawaii’s construction industry, turning dreams into reality with homes that capture the spirit of island living. Recently awarded a Hawaii’s Best people’s choice award by Honolulu Star-Advertiser — its 11th time receiving this honor — the fourth-generation family business has built a reputation for quality craftsmanship rooted in a legacy of dedication and care.
The story of HK Construction is deeply connected to vice president Alan Twu’s family, reflecting a tradition of building that has been passed down through the generations.
“It was just part of our lineage to continue in construction,” Twu shares, noting how the company naturally evolved from commercial contracting to focus on residential projects — a shift that allowed it to specialize in creating homes that meet the unique needs of Hawaii’s residents.
This transition has enabled HK Construction to perfect its craft, ensuring every home is built with precision, care and an understanding of what makes island living special.
At the heart of HK Construction’s success is a commitment to making the home-building process as seamless as possible for its clients.
Twu emphasizes, “We strive to make the journey from design to construction easy and enjoyable for homeowners.”
The company’s full-service approach handles every aspect of the project — from guiding clients through the design phase to assisting with material selections and coordinating with lenders. This level of care and attention to detail sets HK Construction apart, making it a company that Hawaii’s residents can trust with their most significant investment.
A notable project that demonstrates HK Construction’s adaptability and commitment involved building a vacation home for a client who lived on the mainland. Managed almost entirely through virtual collaboration, the project showcased the company’s ability to deliver exceptional results, even from a distance.
“We were able to essentially build their house with them, without the homeowner having to be on-site,” Twu recalls, highlighting the company’s dedication to meeting client needs, no matter the circumstances.
What truly distinguishes HK Construction in Hawaii’s competitive construction landscape is its blend of tradition and innovation. It is deeply rooted in the island’s history, yet always looking forward.
Twu says, “Our goal is to build homes that are low-maintenance and long-lasting, using materials that are perfectly suited to our climate.”
This forward-thinking approach, combined with a deep understanding of the unique requirements of island living, allows HK Construction to design homes that are not only beautiful but also functional and enduring.
HK Construction’s legacy is one of trust, quality and a relentless commitment to excellence as it continues to build the future of Hawaii’s homes. It remains dedicated to crafting spaces that honor the past, embrace the present and inspire the dreams of tomorrow — always with the personal touch that has made it a beloved and trusted name in the community.
