This summer, 25 interns joined the B+K ʻohana across our Architecture, Electrical Engineering, Construction Management, IT, Mechanical and Civil Engineering teams.

Throughout the program, they gained hands-on experience supporting real projects, connected with professionals from a variety of disciplines, and immersed themselves in B+K's collaborative culture.

Some of their highlights included:
✅ A "Talk Story" with B+K President, Brian Bowers.
✅ Visiting Hawaiʻi's first Living Building Challenge home in Pālolo Valley.
✅ Touring major infrastructure projects, including Daniel K. Inouye International Airport and the Honouliuli Water Recycling Facility.

These experiences provided a firsthand look at how design, engineering, and construction shape our communities across Hawaiʻi. Mahalo to our interns for their enthusiasm, fresh perspectives, and meaningful contributions throughout the summer. We look forward to seeing all that they accomplish in the future. Check out this fun recap of our interns this year!

The future of Hawaiʻi's engineering community starts with connection. 🤝

B+K was proud to support the ACEC Hawaii Summer Engineering Student Mixer, creating opportunities for students and professionals to connect, share career insights, and build relationships that can shape the future of Hawaiʻi's engineering community.

We enjoyed connecting with students from UH Mānoa and colleges across the mainland, hearing about their goals, answering thoughtful questions and sharing insights about careers in engineering. Their enthusiasm and curiosity were a great reminder of the talent shaping the future of our industry. Events like these help strengthen Hawaiʻi's engineering community by creating opportunities for mentorship, professional growth, and meaningful connections that can last throughout a career.

Mahalo to ACEC Hawaii for bringing students and professionals together and investing in the next generation of engineers!

Some projects do more than redefine architecture; they redefine what is possible.

Haleolaʻiliʻāinapono is a visionary home and creation of owner, Aaron Ackerman - it blends regenerative design, cultural stewardship, and architectural innovation into a single, inspiring achievement. At the AIA Honolulu (American Institute of Architects, Honolulu Chapter) 68th Annual Design Awards Gala, Aaron’s Haleolaʻiliʻāinapono earned the evening’s highest honor, the Award of Excellence with recognition as the Residential Project Award winner.

As Hawaii’s first Living Building Challenge-certified home, the project demonstrates how architecture can move beyond sustainability to create lasting positive impact. Designed to generate 100% of its own energy and water, recycle wastewater on-site, and strengthen the connection between people and place, Haleolaʻiliʻāinapono is a powerful example of what's possible when innovation, stewardship, and resilience come together. More than a home, it serves as a living laboratory - inviting designers, students, and the community to explore a regenerative future in action.

Congratulations to Aaron and the B+K team on this extraordinary achievement and for setting a new benchmark for regenerative building design in Hawaiʻi and beyond! Inspiring a new generation of architects to dream bigger, design boldly, and build a more regenerative future. Visit www.livingbuildingchallengehawaii.com to learn more.

E-S-O-P Energy in Full Swing! ⛳

Our B+K employee-owners came together for our Annual ESOP Meeting to celebrate what it means to be 100% employee-owned. From sharing company updates and engaging activities to meaningful connections and plenty of laughs, the day showcased the power of our B+K ownership culture.

We capped the day off with a friendly (and competitively fun!) golf tournament. Building teamwork on and off the course.

❤️ What does Ownership Thinking look like in action?

For one of our employee-owners, it started in a family-owned store in Moiliili and became a lifelong lesson in treating every customer with care. Today, those same values help shape the way we serve our clients and build lasting relationships at B+K.

Take a read of Chelsie's story in this quarter's Ownership Thinking feature.

Big things are happening in Kailua! 🎉 On June 18, Honolulu City leaders and community partners broke ground on two major upgrades at the Kailua Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant totaling over $85M. The ceremony, led by Mayor Rick Blangiardi and accompanied by a traditional Hawaiian blessing to kick things off, marked a significant step toward modernizing critical wastewater systems. B+K is providing construction managing for this exciting project.

The first project, a $23.6 million biotower rehabilitation, will upgrade essential treatment components that rely on microorganisms to safely process wastewater. The second, a $61.7 million new dewatering facility, will replace aging infrastructure and enhance biosolids management with advanced odor control technology. Together, these projects aim to improve operational efficiency, protect public health, and safeguard Oahu’s environment.

“Kailua is a vibrant, coastal community. Its residents deserve improved infrastructure that safeguards public health and protects our environment. This investment means cleaner beaches and a healthier and sustainable community for all of us.” - City Council Member Esther Kiaʻāina. This milestone marks a bright future for the community in Kailua. 🌺
