structors attend at the ITC to maintain their cer-
tifications to conduct the training program here
at home, so apprentices and journeymen keep
up with the latest safety and industry require-
ments.
Many of the organizational improve-
ments General President McCarron has made
at the International level also benefitted us in
Hawaii.
Under General President McCarron’s
leadership, many of the smaller local unions
and councils were merged into larger Regional
Councils, which improved efficiency and finan-
cial stability. Up until 2012, Hawaii was the only
jurisdiction in the United States and Canada
that had not adopted the Regional Council
structure.
For more than 60 years, Hawaii was cov-
ered by one local union—Local 745. Due to the
shift in population growth to West Oahu over
that time, one-third of Local 745's members
were residing in the Waipahu, Kapolei, Makaki-
lo, and Waianae areas.
After carefully reviewing all of the
membership information, the International
chartered a new local union in Hawaii to cov-
er West Oahu—Local 746. Local 746 now has
their own Executive Committee, Delegates
to the Regional Council, and for the first time
in history, Delegates to the General Conven-
tion.
Under the Regional Council, each local
union—745 and 746—has Council Delegates
that represent that local union at the quarterly
Delegate Meetings. As of now, Local 745 has
twelve delegates, and Local 746 has six.
Considering the history in Hawaii, the
Regional Council structure is a fairly new thing
for us, however, over the past three-and-a-half
years since it started, it has worked very well.
We have been able to successfully ad-
dress all of the major challenges that have con-
fronted us, not the least of which was the worst
economic recession in our lifetime. All of our
trust funds are stable, we have new five-year
Master Agreements in place for carpenters and
drywallers that will extend to 2019, and more of
our members are receiving quality education at
the ITC than ever before.
Our members can be confident that our
Regional Council structure will be able to carry
us forward for decades to come.
C
ongratulations to the Delegates from Local
745 and Local 746, who were elected to rep-
resent both locals at the upcoming General
Convention in August 2015.
Based on membership numbers, Local
745 is entitled to send 10 Delegates to the Con-
vention. The Delegates are Raynard “Shayne”
Chung, Kyle Chock, Terry Ikeda, Alfred Dela
Cruz, Barry Asao, Jason Edmonds, Terry Chinen,
Michael Cadaoas, Dale Maeda, and Ryan Rego.
Local 746 will be sending five Delegates.
They are Keith Hirota, Sean Newcamp, Emil
Bermudez, Mark Luna, and Dean Takahashi.
Hawaii will be well represented at the
41st General Convention by these dedicated
members who will participate in voting on
Constitutional amendments, resolutions, the
election of International officers, as well as
hear speeches by national labor leaders and
elected officials.
General Conventions are held every five
years, and a good number of Hawaii members
have had the opportunity to participate in this
memorable experience throughout the years.
The 2015 General Convention promises to be
better than ever.
We have recently returned from the In-
ternational Training Center (ITC) where we suc-
cessfully completed the second Journeymen
Leadership Program this year. One hundred
eighty journeymen attended the first session in
February, and the same number attended the
recent session from July 16th to July 18th.
As always, the staff at the ITC and the
UBC’s Department of Education did an excel-
lent job of running the program, which is no
small feat when you consider that 10,000 mem-
bers from around the United States and Canada
will be participating in various training programs
this year, and every year thereafter.
The goal of 10,000 members has been
set by General President Douglas McCarron,
who has dedicated the resources to help
build and strengthen our Brotherhood from
the ground up.
By the end of this year, our Regional
Council will have sent more than 800 mem-
bers through the valuable training programs
available at the ITC, including the Journeymen
Leadership Program, Third-Year Apprentice
Program, Collaborative Leadership Program
(for contractor representatives), Women’s Con-
ferences, and staff educational workshops.
These educational sessions are in addi-
tion to the numerous trade classes that our in-

THE HAWAII CARPENTER
IS THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF
THE HAWAII REGIONAL COUNCIL
OF CARPENTERS
On the Cover:
An innovative retail concept is
coming to Waikiki. General contractor
Honolulu Builders is constructing the
new 17,761-square-foot Tommy Bahama
Restaurant, Bar & Store at 298 Beach
Walk, which will combine shopping and
dining under one roof.
“We took this three-story build-
ing, formerly occupied by HIC Surf and
an office, and added a rooftop deck,”
said Honolulu Builders Project Manager
Hemant Makhijani. “The first floor will
be retail space, the main dining area will
be on the second floor, and the roof-
top deck will have a bar, sandpit, and
lounge area highlighted by fire pits and
wooden trellis structures. We removed
half of the third floor, so the main din-
ing area and bar will have high ceilings,
and the remaining third floor will be the
commercial kitchen and food prepara-
tion areas.”
Subcontractor S & G Construc-
tion is doing the drywall installation
and a majority of the carpentry work, in-
cluding interior framing, insulation, EFS
(exterior finishing system), and millwork
installation. Honolulu Builders is self-
performing the layout, coordinating the
trades, and doing the pick up work.
“On the first floor, there will be
white oak engineered floors, a lot of
rough sawn planking and paneling, and
a decorative ceiling made out of scaf-
fold boards,” said Makhijani. “S & G
will also install the casework throughout
the project. On the second floor, there’s
more millwork on the columns, walls,
and soffits, and a wooden cloud—a
floating piece of millwork—will be in-
stalled above the bar to house televi-
sions. A Scandinavian wood called ke-
bony will be used to build the roof deck
and roof deck bar, as well as the floor-
ing on the restaurant level.”
Makhijani says that one of the
building’s most notable elements was
also the most challenging aspect of the
project.
“The toughest part was install-
ing the spiral steel staircase,” said
Makhijani. “Our carpenters had to do
the layout so perfectly for everything
to dial in. Our superintendent and fore-
man spent days on the layout, and sure
enough, when the staircase showed up,
it fit perfectly. It goes from the second
floor to the rooftop, and we still have
another section to install from the first
to the second floor.”
When the project is completed in
September 2015, the building will fea-
ture an open-air central patio atrium on
the second floor, a 1,600-square-foot hy-
droponic living wall, and a rooftop trellis.
“This particular location is natu-
rally representative of Tommy Bahama’s
relaxed living philosophy,” said Rod
Goldberg, executive vice president of
Tommy Bahama’s restaurant division in
a press release. “We’ve embraced Wai-
kiki’s spectacular beach and urban ele-
ments, blending the best of these two
settings to take advantage of this ulti-
mate vacation spot.”
The Waikiki location will be
Tommy Bahama’s eighth store in the
islands, and the third to feature a res-
taurant. The store and restaurant are
scheduled to open in October 2015

At a Contractor License Board (CLB) meeting on
June 19, the Glaziers Union, District Council 50 claimed
that railings with glass infill should be performed by
glazing contractors covered by a C-22 (glazing and tint-
ing contractor) license, and not by contractors with a
C-32 (ornamental, guardrail, and fencing contractor)
license, which is also included in the “A” General En-
gineering Contractor License. After several contractors
presented written and verbal testimony, the CLB agreed
that a C-32 license is the proper license for the work.
“Nordic PCL is an interested party in this mat-
ter since your decision may impact two high-rise con-
dominiums we are currently building,” tesified Nordic
PCL Construction Inc. President Glen Kaneshige. “It has
been a past and customary practice that the installation
of metal railings with an infill panel has been performed
by contractors holding a C-32 license only. The infill
panel can be wood, metal, glass, or any other mate-
rial specified by the designer/owner; however the infill
does not function to provide structural integrity of the
metal railing system. That is to say, a glass infill panel is
a non-structural component described under the C-32
license.”
Glass railings have been installed by contrac-
tors with C-32 licenses using carpenters on a number of
projects, including 909 Kapiolani, Koolina Marriott, and
Halekauwila Place, among others.
“The infills on a guardrail system are designed
for decorative purpose compared to an enclosure type
system, such as windows, storefronts, and curtain walls,
which are performed by the glaziers,” said Nan Inc Presi-
dent Fooney Freestone in his written testimony. “There-
fore, we believe that the installation of the guardrails and
including the infill work, can be done by the carpenters.”
The CLB’s decision confirms that the installation
of railings, regardless of the infill, will continue to be
performed by contractors with a C-32 license.

5. Improvements are underway at the National Me-
morial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl. General
contractor Nan Inc is working on a two-year expansion
and improvement project that will include a new admin-
istration office and public information center, and 6,860
new columbarium niches.
“We are working on this project in phases,” said
Nan Inc Project Manager Romeo Vea. “The first phase
involves constructing the one story administration and
public information center with a lower level basement.
The next phase is to demolish the old administration
building to construct Court 13, which is the additional
columbarium with niches.”
The team is currently working on the site work
for the new administration office and public information
center, which will sit on top of a slope outside the cem-
etery gates.
“First we need to tie in to the existing city and
county water line on Puowaiana Drive, and sewer and
drain lines on Auwaiolimu Street, which is on the bot-
tom of the project,” said Vea. “After we finish the util-
ity work, we have to put in keystone retaining walls re-
inforced with geo-grid, and backfilled to bring up the
grade in some areas around the building. The building
won’t be on grade on the ground, but built on drilled
piers on top of volcanic tuff (on the slope of the hill), so
the building is not going to settle. Our carpenters will
then do the formwork for the concrete columns, beams,
and walls for the lower level.”
To speed up the project, Nan Inc will begin de-
molishing the former administration building in January
of next year, while the new 7,500-square-foot admin-
istration office and public information center is under
construction.
On the street level, the building will feature ad-
ministration offices, restrooms, multipurpose rooms,
and a reception area with a gravesite locator for visi-
tors. The lower level will include an employee lounge, IT
room, a room for the honor guard, elevator lounge, and
restrooms.
Vea says the crew is expected to be at peak
manpower with approximately 40 members next July
through October, when both carpenters and drywallers
are on-site.
“In addition to the columbarium niches in Court
13, we will build two memorial walls with plaques,” said
Vea. “We will also replace existing troughs in Court 1
through 5 with new cast stone caps.”
Prior to the expansion, the cemetery was pro-
jected to run out of internments by fall of 2016. The new
columbarium niches will allow for 10 more years of inter-
ments.
Nan Inc, which is scheduled to complete the
project in January 2017, is also currently working on the
second phase of the Wheeler Combat Aviation Brigade
Complex, Phase 2B/2C Whole Barracks Renewal project
for Quad B at Schofield Barracks, and Aircraft Rescue
and Firefighting Facility at Hilo International Airport.

THE HAWAII CARPENTER 2015
No. 006
General contractor Ralph S. Inouye Co. Ltd. (RSI)
is working on the $13 million Kawananakoa Middle
School auditorium renovation. RSI has demolished the
building’s interior and completed the roof shoring.
“One of the biggest challenges was erecting the
shoring and scaffolding in such a way that we could de-
molish what we needed to demolish efficiently, yet still
be very safe and make sure that the remaining struc-
ture would not be compromised,” said RSI Vice Presi-
dent Michael Inouye. “Not only did we have walls come
down and the interior gutting, which exposed all of the
existing roof trusses, there was also underground dem-
olition. We had to dig new footings for a mezzanine,
and once the scaffold was set, the plans were not to
move it.”
RSI carpenters installed the shoring and scaffold-
ing. They are also performing the formwork for the con-
crete footings, walls, columns, and suspended slabs,
and will complete the finish carpentry for the project.
Subcontractor Eagle Interiors has been selected to do
the drywall installation.
“The roof will remain, but we are putting in new
plumbing, mechanical, and electrical systems,” said
Inouye. “The auditorium will have a new mezzanine,
lobby, ticket booth, restrooms, utility room, dressing
rooms, storage, and a backstage shop area.”
RSI is scheduled to complete the renovation in
April 2016. The company is also currently working on
the Honolulu Federal Credit Union in Moiliili, Damien
Memorial School’s Clarence T.C. Ching Athletic Build-
ing, and the first phase of Farrington High School’s
Long Range Development Master Plan.
General contractor Ralph S. Inouye Co. Ltd. (RSI) is con-
structing the new branch and administrative support offices for
the Honolulu Federal Credit Union in Moiliili.
“We took an existing two-story building and gutted
about 11,000 square feet of space,” said RSI Vice President
Michael Inouye. “The building looked like an apartment build-
ing from the outside, so we’re going to completely change
the look and feel of the building. DA Builders is installing the
EIFS (exterior insulation finishing system), and there will be
aluminum trellises, a false column build out, and a lot of new
exterior windows.”
RSI carpenters performed the concrete
formwork for the project, including the formwork
for a new elevator shaft. They are currently work-
ing on the finish carpentry—installing doors, mill-
work, and countertops. Subcontractor DA Build-
ers is also working on the interior metal framing
and drywall installation.
The first floor will feature the main branch,
restrooms, and a meeting/employee training
room. The second floor will include the credit un-
ion’s executive offices, centralized records and
processing space, storage room, restrooms, and a
boardroom.
“We were selected for this project during
the design process and started construction last
November,” said Inouye. “We spent a lot of time
with Ushijima Architects and the owner going over
the finishes and layout of the building because
this will be the credit union’s flagship branch, and
they really wanted this branch to represent who
they are.”
RSI is scheduled to complete the project in
August 2015.

7. Allied Builders System Constructing Longs Drugs Waikiki
Alliance Executive Director Recognized for Leadership
General contractor Allied Builders Sys-
tem (ABS) is constructing a new Longs Drugs
in Waikiki, in the space formerly occupied by
Teddy Bear World. The two-story location,
accessible from Kalakaua Avenue, will feature
a pharmacy and two walk-in MinuteClinics on
the second floor.
“Once the renovation is complete, this
new Longs Drugs store will look a little dif-
ferent from the many other neighborhood
stores we’ve built and renovated," said ABS
Project Manager Lee George. "It will be the
first of its kind, with upgraded floor finishes
and millwork.”
ABS carpenters are self-performing
the layout and finish carpentry. Eagle Interi-
ors is doing the metal framing, drywall instal-
lation, and acoustic ceiling installation.
ABS is scheduled to complete the project this September,
and the store will open in October 2015.

8. Honolulu Rail Transit Update
RAIL GUIDEWAY
The Honolulu Rail Transit project reached a milestone
in June, when Kiewit Infrastructure West Co. completed
the first three miles of the elevated guideway from East
Kapolei through Ewa and into Waipahu. Construction is
progressing in Waipahu, and guideway work is crossing
over Fort Weaver Road. More than 250 foundations have
been completed and more than 175 columns have been
erected.
RAIL OPERATIONS CENTER
At the Rail Operations Center (Maintenance and Storage
Facility), Kiewit/Kobayashi, a joint venture, has started
construction on the stem walls for the Train Wash Facility
and cable trough installation north of the storage tracks.
Work on the Operations and Servicing Building, Main-
tenance of Way Building, and Wheel Truing Building are
ongoing, with roof, siding and interior partitions, and
utility service rough-ins. The Rail Operations Center is
on track, and is scheduled for completion in April 2016.
Production of the project’s rail cars is also moving for-
ward, and the first rail car is currently being shipped to
Pittsburg, California for assembly. It is expected to arrive
on Oahu in the first quarter of 2016.
AIRPORT SECTION
Hawaiian Dredging Construction Company Inc. com-
pleted construction of the Airport Section Guideway
Seven Pier project in April, and Nan Inc is current work-
ing on the Airport Section Utilities Construction project.
FUTURE BID / PROJECT OUTLOOK
The proposal for the Kamehameha Highway Stations
Group, which includes Pearl Highlands, Pearlridge, and
Aloha Stadium stations, will be issued in August 2015.
According to the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transpor-
tation, the rail system is expected to open the first 10
miles of the rail guideway in 2018, with the full 20-mile
system expected to open in December 2019.

Allied Builders System Completing Preschool Renovation
General contractor Allied Builders System
(ABS) is working on the United Church of Christ Pali
Preschool renovation in Liliha. ABS carpenters are
working on several projects within the school’s mul-
tipurpose building—constructing a first floor read-
ing room, second floor staff lounge, restrooms, and
an office extension.
“A majority of work went into building the
reading room and the staff lounge, a floor above, in
the gymnasium,” said ABS Project Manager Gareth
Gomez. “Our carpenters built circular windows for
the reading room and staff lounge that will feature
tinted blue, green, and yellow glass. They also in-
stalled a hobbit door for the reading room and built
a wooden staircase that will connect to the staff
lounge. It’s designed to look like a tree house be-
cause at the end of the project, the school will paint
a mural with trees on the gymnasium wall.”
Gomez said the team is also installing a
dumbwaiter that will allow the school to transport
meals from the first floor kitchen to basement level
classrooms. OP Construction drywallers are work-
ing on the dense glass and EIFS for the dumbwaiter.
They are also doing the metal framing, drywall in-
stallation, and ceiling installation for the project.
ABS is scheduled to complete the five-month-
long project in September 2015. The company is
also currently constructing the new Longs Drugs
Waikiki, Longs Drugs Aina Haina, and PBS Hawaii
headquarters at Sand Island.
