B+K’s Architecture team, along with Hawaii State and community partners, was honored to take part in the dedication and blessing ceremony of the Women’s Correctional Community Center (WCCC) new facilities. Speaking on the podium was the Warden and Terry Visperas. The new housing, and administration buildings will not only provide secured and safe environments but transformative opportunities for successful reintegration into the community. We are grateful to be part of this momentous project. #WCCC #bowersandkubota #fulfillingvisionsbuildingtrust #employeeowned

This past weekend, our B+K family participated in the Annual AIA CANstruction competition. It was a day of fun and creativity! With the theme of "Game Over for Hunger," our team designed Hungry Hungry Honu. "Hungry Hungry Honu, like the honu, symbolizes resilience and wisdom, qualities that are high valued in Hawaiian culture. The ability of the honu to navigate wide oceans and return to the same beaches where they were born mirrors the Hawaiian people's connection to their ancestral lands the resilience required to overcome challenges." Big mahalo to our rockstar team who participated in the planning and building making our vision come to life. Check out our fun recap of our B+K ohana in action!

For the month of September, let's remind ourselves to be optimistic in challenging times - to look for the small wins in the bad situations. There's always a lesson in everything. #brianism #bowersandkubota #fulfillingvisionsbuildingtrust #employeeowned

B+K is proud to highlight our Kauai Team that continues to grow with 3 new project inspectors and 2 project engineers. Their bond strengthened in April when the office was activated to support emergency response projects due to April flooding throughout the island. Their biggest challenge as an office has been deciding if they identify as bowlers or golfers as both have become competitive. The team supported their local Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kauai at a bowling event in March. As the Kauai Office continues to grow and learn, our ohana becomes stronger together. #BKKauai #bowersandkubota #fulfillingvisionsbuildingtrust #employeeowned

This summer, 13 interns joined the B+K ohana, spread across our Architecture, Electrical Engineering, Construction Management, and Civil Engineering teams. They were given opportunities to engage in department projects, network with professionals from various disciplines, and experience the B+K culture. Highlights included visiting the first Living Building Challenge home in Palolo Valley and touring various project sites like Daniel K. Inouye Airport. These experiences offered our interns a valuable glimpse into the world of design and engineering in Hawaii. We’re grateful for their contributions and enthusiasm, which have made a positive impact on our teams and enriched our collaborative environment. #BKinterns #bowersandkubota #fulfillingvisionsbuildingtrust #employeeowned

Project Spotlight! Our B+K team provided construction management for a new multi-use path for the Ahukini – Lydgate Bike Path segment named Ke Ala Hele Makahae on the Island of Kauai. County of Kauai acquired FHWA funding to pursue the construction for the ‘Path” that was planned to go along or near the shoreline. Using federal funds, County of Kauai needed to comply with the national Historic Preservation Act as Kauai being known to be the oldest island and the land, aina, being connected spiritual to the past. Facing these sensitive cultural areas excavation was kept to a minimal and archaeological monitoring was provided during most of the construction of the path. Details of this project consist of concrete using marco-sythetic fiber; Very Early Strength Latex Modified Concrete (VESLMC) with marco-sythetic fibers for the canal bridge; Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) bridge railings; rock salt finish in buffer area, FRP Boardwalk and asphalt pavement walkway; rock veneer wall & interpretive sign (cultural layers). #lydgatebikepath #bowersandkubota #fulfillingvisionsbuildingtrust #employeeowned
