Our Story
In Hawaiian, the word kaula means "rope" or "cord,” but it can also have metaphorical meanings in certain contexts. For example, in Hawaiian navigation and wayfinding, kaula refers to the knowledge and skills that bind and guide navigators.
At Kaula AE, we harness our collective experience to ensure every client project sails smoothly from inception to completion.
Established in 2015, Kaula AE consistently exceeds expectations as a results-driven firm. With our deep expertise in planning, design, construction management, and facility management—combined with strong organizational and communication skills—we ensure success on every project.
Based in Hawai‘i, we partner with local small business sub-consultants to gain a thorough understanding of regional codes, conditions, and permitting requirements. This synergy allows us to infuse each project with a combination of local insight and technical expertise.
Kaula AE is dedicated to maintaining the highest ethical standards when working with all of our clients.
