Coming in November

Four big cover stories are on the agenda for our November issue.
We travel to Maui for an on-site report including interviews with the mayor, building chief and industry leaders. Construction equipment is another informative cover story with valuable input on whether to buy or lease, innovations and more. We also focus on school construction, a major source of CIP (Capital Improvement Projects) funding, and we look at Hawaii’s trade unions, a timely piece at a critical point in our economy.
