“When you’re a [woodworker] making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You’ll know it’s there, so you’re going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back.”

- Steve Jobs

Our Company

Like the woodworker described by Steve Jobs, we at Koa Building and Design are all perfectionists when it comes to building a one-of-a-kind dining table or an intricate architectural molding. Everything we do is designed and worked on by every member of our team. We all take extreme pride in our work as if what we are building is going to have a place of honor in one of our own homes.


Hawaii’s finest homes and resorts hold some of the most beautiful pieces of furniture in Hawaii, created by the Koa Building and Design team. We are at ease knowing that each piece will serve our clients well.

Our Mission and Values

It is our mission to use our talents to the best of our abilities to create exceptional furniture and cabinets – to build what each client requests using the finest woods and our many years of expertise. It is our promise to turn Hawaii’s hardwoods into
creations that will last for many decades and be a part of the memories of many
generations. Each piece that we build from an entertainment center to a bookcase and everything in between becomes a part of each of us. Joachim Radkau, an historian, once said, “Wood is a natural material that has marked human culture – not only in the ‘Wood Age’ but right down to the present day.”

We pour our hearts and souls into our work and we promise complete satisfaction.
