I spent many years working with my father on jobs throughout the state, and we always struggled to find reliable partners to supply us with the level of variety that we needed, within the timeframes that were required for our sites. There was a definite gap in the local market for a supplier that could service Hawaii’s construction sector in a timely, efficient manner, so I thought, why not? And we have seen great success since then. We now have the largest held stock in the state.” Golden Cabinets and Stone identify their mission as: “To provide the best quality products and services at the lowest price possible to our clients, with whom we strive to create long- lasting collaborative relationships with.” Golden Cabinets and Stone work to coordinate tasks around client schedules, provide unparalleled freedom of choice, and ensure professional installation teams leave projects clean, complete, and up to impeccable standards to minimise stress associated with complex home renovations. The team of 50 at Golden Cabinets and Stone operates from a single 70,000 square-foot warehouse location in Honolulu, HI. The location regularly houses over 80,000 prefabricated cabinets and 5,000 pieces of countertop stock; clients are welcome on site to view product samples and choose stock according to their specifications. Mr. Cao explains that building a varied network of professional relationships has been a focus for management since the company’s founding. “In our industry, you don’t get very far without a really solid network. We began as a family business, so our values are aligned with that. We reward our staff for their hard work, diligence, and flexibility, and CEO Wayne Cao
