35 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 9, ISSUE 11 Coastal Construction puts the customer and client first. With service that is second to none and a reputation for accountability and the very highest standards of craftsmanship, Coastal Construction first started building homes for Castle and Cooke in 1968 as a framing and drywall contractor through a subsidiary company called Sunset Builders. In 1973 when Sunset Builders and Coastal merged, Coastal Construction continued to build houses for Castle and Cooke for over 45 years. When the valued partnership first began, initially the type of houses that were constructed were single wall construction which then evolved into double wall construction. Construction trends did evolve over the years and in 1992, because of the “spotted owl” issue in the Pacific Northwest which prevented the mills from chopping down trees for lumber as the owls were considered to be an endangered species, wood became a limited commodity. Castle and Cooke and Coastal Construction subsequently have collaborated to transition into light gauge steel framing for their houses. The first three houses that were built in steel were called the “spotted owl houses”. Since the beginning till the current year, Coastal has been very fortunate to be selected by Castle and Cooke as the prime sub and general contractor to continue to build their houses both in single family and multi-family units. We are grateful to be considered a preferred contractor of Castle and Cooke building affordable, entry level, mid-level, and market priced homes for the people of Hawaii which total nearly 24,000 units. Coastal prides itself in long term relationships with other large developers such as Haseko at Ocean Pointe in building nearly 4000 residences as a framing and drywall contractor for 19 years doing the work in light gauge steel framing. We have also been the general contractor for Forest City building nearly 2000 military housing for the proud men and women of the Navy and Marine Corps for over 10 years. In addition to these developments, we have built affordable housing for the Department of Hawaiian Homes on the islands of Oahu, Kauai, and Hawaii. Other projects that Coastal has been building as a general contractor are 96 homes in Makaha and 58 homes on the island of Hawaii for Stanford Carr Development. UHC,LLC has also contracted Coastal for 144 affordable rental units on the island of Hawaii. In addition, HICDC Hawaii has awarded Coastal a contract for 240 senior rental units of which 140 units have been completed. Coastal Construction is appreciative of the opportunity to provide housing for the people of Hawaii, including the military, and will strive to continue in the years to come. ......
