Green Building in Kalāheo.

“Rex is a fantastic professional. He did an amazing job of fully understanding the vision of my project. Any changes that I wanted or needed he was very quick to complete and discuss. Rex also has a great ability to communicate with his clients as well as with contractors and government officials. His attention detail and understanding of not only architecture but of the entire construction process was a huge help. I would highly recommend Rex and his company to any of my friends or colleagues and will absolutely use him again.”

“My wife and I purchased a beautiful property on the North Shore of Kauai and plan to retire there in a few years. We were referred to Michael and Lani of Tropical Architecture Group, Inc. (TAG) by our realtor. He explained that TAG had a division that offered existing luxury tropical designs called “Eco-Chic Home Designs”. We checked out the Eco-Chic website and met with Michael and Lani. Our original plan was to build something very basic, not the beautiful designs that we found on the Eco-Chic Collection. Needless to say, we were impressed that they were already complete and reasonably priced. We also realized that the design of the home was going to increase the value of our property, if and when we decided to sell, so it was a wise investment. Michael and Lani were easy to work with and accommodating. They got our plans through Kauai county for building permits and gave recommendations on site people to help as well as builders. Overall the process was quite simple and was all done with us living in California. We are currently under construction and would highly recommend working with Michael and Lani of Eco-Chic Home Designs or with Tropical Architecture Group, Inc., if you’d prefer a custom home.

“We used Palms Hawaii for design and construction oversight services on a residential project on the island of Kauai. We were looking for a local partner for the project and were pleasantly surprised by the competence, responsiveness and service levels exhibited by the entire Palms team. They rapidly and successfully negotiated Kauai's byzantine building regulations and permitting processes, provided guidance and practical advice for designing a house that both meets our needs and fits the local climate, and shepherded us through the construction bid process. Once construction began, they ensured the house was built to specifications and worked closely with the builder to match the final product to the design vision. Notably, all agreed upon design deadlines were met and service costs were reasonable. We worked most closely with Andrea Lincoln, who treated us as if we were her only clients. She truly cared about our project and made great effort to ensure our satisfaction, a quality that was also exhibited by the other Palms staff we interacted with. If building on the island of Kauai, we can wholeheartedly recommend Palms Hawaii. We would not hesitate to use them on our next project.”

“Working with Rodney and Design Associates Kaua'i was so refreshing! He is a great listener and came up with ideas that we loved right away. After sketching our project by hand, he quickly 3D rendered it, giving us a real feeling for what the design would be like in person. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Rodney, for helping us build our dream home.”
