Constraction reviews in Honolulu, Hawaii

The place to go

I have seen the work that Atlas Construction can do and it was very good.

Very knowledgeable construction company with very good staff.. treat others like family and build beautiful houses.................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Though others speak highly of this company I cannot say the same. The first time I contacted them it seemed that they may have been screening me out. When I asked about what happened they seemed very anxious to do business. They gave me a few options to think about, and when I had thought about it I tried contacting them again. I got no response.

We had a bad experience with Nathan Park. He proved himself to be a liar and does not keep his word. Do not deal with this person, he will try to get away with anything.

These guys have residential contracting down to a fine science. From the moment you meet the staff you will feel 100% confident that you made the right choice. They go above and beyond to make their clients feel good about letting them build their dreams with exceptional quality

If you're looking to renovate, or build from the ground up, this is the place. Wealth of knowledge in this establishment, and people who really pay attention to your wants , and needs. I would ask for, Nathan. Love my new place. Many memories to make. Thanks Atlas Construction.

The people there are so friendly and they make buiIding your home an experience that lasts a life time. I was really impressed with their construction crews. From the foundation to the finish crews, they showed me that quantity will never top quality!

Small bathroom renovations (total added area 230 SF) took over a year to complete. Considering the cost at over $600/SF, you’d expect professionalism and responsiveness to be better. Project was plagued by delays and errors, particularly long lead items. Mitigative and preventative measures to avoid delays were not apparent. Workers inconsistently worked on this project, apparently because of conflicting work requirements on other projects. They seemed overly busy. Record of work was regularly filed with them, and detailed summary of issues was submitted. No formal response has been received. Check out Yelp reviews also. Have heard that a Consumer Protection RICO complaint has been filed.

Very please with my experience with Atlas Construction. After several failed projects using another company, it was a welcome relief working with Atlas who not only corrected everything but did it with professionalism and kindness.

The people respond quickly to my questions and follow up on any concerns I had about my project. Great experience with this company.

THANK YOU ATLAS
Atlas is a great company, with great people. My wife liked them from the start. I on the other hand was hesitant, however they ended up doing a great job and helped us stay within our budget. Again THANK YOU Atlas for all you did for me and my family.

Was contacted shortly after calling even though the lady on the phone stated that they usually try to get back within 72 hours. I explained that I would like to remodel my home and they answered all of my questions and we set up a day and time for an estimate walk through of my home. When they arrived at my home, they thoroughly inspected and gave me options and price points that worked with my budget. I am currently in the process of remodeling my home. It is a smooth, cost effective process so far. Thank you Atlas Construction.

Atlas is the place to go.for your dream house or just a simple addition. We did an addition to my mom's house and we love it. They helped us from day one with everything from financing, the planning and even answers our questions now when we call them. If we need anything else done on the future we will definable use atlas. I even referred a good friend of mine and they are also doing an addtion to there house as well. So atlas is the place to go

Our experience was painless, stress free and my family walked away with even more than we imagined possible. We visited with 6 contractors before selecting Atlas and we took the time to visit the homes they built. One of them happened to be our friend's house. We were in awe with all the fine details that was put into the house. The house had a lot of character and that's exactly what we wanted for our home. A home that reflected our dreams but also one that had the "WOW" factor all within a limited budget. Atlas gave us our WOW and we will forever be grateful. Most people only build one home in a lifetime. Choose your contractor wisely and never look back. We can honestly say, we have no regrets. We found a contractor that can be trusted, gave us peace of mind and truly satisfies out desires.

Thank you to all the workers that put up with all of our changes, namely Nathan, Rance & Bruce. You were all ever so patient and never once made us feel we were driving you crazy with our indecisions. All of you have great people skills and despite all the projects you work on, you found a way to make us feel like we were the only one you had..you made us feel special and treated our house as you would your own.

At last we found what we were looking for....ATLAS CONSTRUCTION YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!

Bruce Kim, the owner of Atlas Construction-what a fine gentleman! He has a tremendous sense of work ethics, an excellent demeanor, and imparts into his workers the same sense of responsibility that he practices. He was always there at various stages of the remodeling of my house in 2006 and he always addresses my concerns. He makes sure that everything is done properly and according to my specifications. He also gives me very sound advice as to how I would address these various concerns regarding structural, plumbing, and even minor repairs. An excellent, trustworthy individual of which is very rare to find nowadays.

What an amazing experience. If I had to do it all over again I wouldn't consider anyone else other than Atlas Construction. The whole process was handled with the utmost professionalism and courtesy, all the way from the initial consultation to the final review. My build was different than most and included 23' retaining walls and all kinds of other personalization from plumbing to electrical, and they exceeded even my high expectations. They stuck to their original price, even though I know things came up that increased their costs. I don't believe you will find a contractor anywhere with more fairness and integrity than the Atlas Construction. Worth every penny and every one of the five stars.

I decided to write a review for a project that Atlas Construction did for my Mahana property in Palolo however I kept putting it off until ironically I was looking through the Sundays News Paper and saw Atlas Construction had received the Star Advertiser Hawaii’s Best 2013 people’s choice award first place for best contractor. Congratulations to Atlas and all the Ohana. I have not worked with any other contractors before so I have nothing to compare to, other than “horror stories” I heard about the headaches and “price adjustments” contractors are synonymous for. To my great surprise Atlas Construction was a real joy to work with from the beginning patiently assisting me through my financing, the designing the permitting up until the day I moved in. I made numerous changes throughout the design process and after the start of my house and not once did I feel pressured , I never felt like a burden, on the contrary Bruce Kim was very patient and he assisted me in making the right choices according to my needs. I never knew a contractor would take you to all the vendors and help you choose fixtures, lightings and even down to the cabinet pulls, which I am so grateful to for Rodney Kim who drove me everywhere! The entire experience was wonderful, I am so happy that I had the opportunity to build my home around my wants and needs and I am especially happy with the work that Atlas did, the quality of their finished product by far surpassed my expectations. They have something really special there, its really great that most all the people who work at Atlas are family. Overall I had a truly pleasant building experience. Atlas Construction you guys are all wonderful…. Thank you so very much for all you did!!

Nathan Park was my advisor for my home renovation project in 2015. He was honest, patient and trustworthy throughout the whole planning and designing stages. I could call him at any time with questions and he would respond within minutes every single time. Even to this day (Feb. 2020), we touch base occasionally. If I need any help with finding repair people or advise on anything related to construction, he takes the time to refer me to good people or advise me on what I should do. I was very surprised to see the negative review and hope people are not influenced by one person's opinion. I am glad I went with Atlas Construction and would do so again if I need any major repairs.

I know how stressful it is finding and contractor and wanted to share my experience with others so that they may make a more informed decision. When we decided to tear down and rebuild our home in Kaimuki, we met with a total of five contractors. All of them had some great ideas but each were different in their approach – some more pushy, a few seemed too busy or apathetic, and only one was real down to earth and made us feel like that had our best interest at heart from the outset – Atlas. For example, the Project Manager (Nathan) was very concerned about keeping us within our budget so that our mortgage payments would be manageable as oppose to building the house that would maximize the contract price (it seemed that way with some of the others). What also really impressed us was during our site visits to their other projects in progress or competed, the numerous clients we ran into all had nothing but complimentary things to say about the company. Their vendors and subs thought very highly of them too! They accommodated every request we had, allowed us to build the home we wanted (we did not want to build a box), and were transparent about the process, costs (no mysterious change orders or nickel and diming), and timeline. They treated our Project as if it were their own and provided us recommendations during the design AND BUILD process. To those looking for someone to build their dream home, my recommendation would be the same: Find someone you feel comfortable with because there are some many decisions to be made from beginning to end and you want a partner that you can trust to help guide you; and also be fair with you when the inevitable obstacles occur (which the will). We love the home Atlas built for us two years ago and are glad we picked a contractor that was a pleasure to work with. I would definitely recommend them to all of my family and friends and have. In fact, 3 people that we know have worked with Atlas too and all have had a similar experience to ours (they are also raving fans !).

Don't bother looking around for other contractors because Atlas really is the best choice. We wanted to build an extension off of our parents home and wanted to do a three bedroom, 1 bath place of our own. We did our research on other contractors and at first, met with a different contractor for an estimate. This other contractor was referred to us by a family friend so we figured we'll check them out. The estimate they gave us was higher than our budget and the draft that was drawn up was not really what we wanted. Needless to say, we didn't "feel" it with them and decided to look for another contractor....Enter Atlas Construction!

From the very first phone call for a meeting to the completion of our new home, Atlas has been WONDERFUL! I first noticed during my research that they were voted #1 contractor in Hawaii. Good sign right? We met up with Josh for an estimate and things started to look up for us. Josh came prepared with information, portfolios, and an estimate that was lower than the other contractors price. Not only was the estimate lower but they were able to draw plans to include the three bedrooms that we desperately needed (side note: we were living in a 1 bedroom, 400 square foot place at the time) Did I mention, my wife and I have three young children...yeah, pretty tight for us.

Once we finalized out plans we happily signed our contract with Atlas and eagerly awaited for out new home to be built. This is the really exciting part. Our permits didn't take long to begin construction and right afterwards a crew was breaking ground. I was amazed at how fast the construction of our house took. The owner, Bruce Kim, was our project manager and he was simply AWESOME! A really friendly, polite, knowledgeable, helpful, and professional guy. Bruce and his crew took care of everything we needed including making helpful adjustments to our house that made it even better. Communication with Atlas was seamless. Every time we called for questions or comments Bruce, Josh, or someone at Atlas were always there for us. I honestly don't have one bad thing to say about our experience with Atlas. My wife came up with a term calling it, "The Atlas Experience". hahaha. She describes the Atlas Experience as having a contractor which does quality work, is trustworthy, and professional. I think one day the phrase, "Atlas Experience" will become common knowledge.

Needless to say, once our home was completed we were so happy and satisfied with our new home. Everything was built with good quality materials and we just love what Atlas has created for us. Thank you everyone at Atlas, Bruce, Josh, Mika, Reyna Frank, Pat, Danny, the office staff, everyone. Best of luck with building your awesome business even more.
