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.

Congratulations 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 CARPENTERIS 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.

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.

Ralph S. Inouye Renovating 78-Year-Old Auditorium

THE HAWAI I CARPENTER 2 015No. 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.

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.

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.
