Building Industry Magazine - January 2014 - (Page 4)

EDITOR'S CORNER Happy New Year! In this issue of Building Industry magazine, Associate Editor Lee Schaller gives us an in-depth report on the Military sector-from an overview of the past year to what lies ahead in 2014. The comprehensive cover story includes interviews with major industry players in the military arena, input from the military agencies, project lists and updates. Story, page 14. This issue includes a special section: The Cement & Concrete Products Industry of Hawaii 2014 Resource Directory. The publication marks the beginning of 50 years of growth for this kamaaina organization and contains valuable information for the building trade. We also celebrate the longevity and durability of concrete, historically associated with Island construction since the 1800s, and its continued value for current and future projects. In Construction Preview Highlights, Contributing Editor Stacy Pope provides us with a high-level overview of the 2014 edition of Construction Preview, an annual industry outlook magazine that we produce at the beginning of each year. You'll find input from everyone from Hawaii's governor and mayors to the military and private sectors. Page 50. Contributing Editor Priscilla Pérez Billig takes us inside the premier advocate for Hawaii's engineering industry, the nonprofit American Council of Engineering Companies of Hawaii as it celebrates its 50th year. The Council helps get legislation passed, opens educational opportunities, and showcases the work of established firms and young engineers on the rise. Story, page 52. Concept to Completion highlights the SuMo-Nan, LLC joint venture design and construction of a 70-unit barracks for the U.S. Army at Helemano Military Reservation on Oahu. Page 6. Our Spotlight on Success illustrates The Outlets of Maui at Lahaina, the first outlet center on Maui. Page 10.
