PEARL CITY, Hawaii, Nov. 20, 2017 - Jianyong "Michael" Zhou recently joined Creative Partition Systems as a Project Manager. His main responsibilities include estimating and running CPS jobs on Oahu.  

Michael, who is originally from China, attended high school in Virginia and has a civil engineering degree from the University of Hawaii. Prior to joining CPS, Michael spent seven years in China working on civil construction projects for a general contractor. 

When Shioi Construction President Conrad Murashige heard from Brad Nagano, Mokihana Insurance Agency principal partner and Kaua`i Independent Food Bank (KIFB) board member, that the food bank was in need of a van, he quickly looked at the construction company’s resources and offered one of its vans to the non-profit organization that is located in Nawiliwili, Kaua`i. 

“We are so grateful for this generous gift from Shioi Construction,” said KIFB Executive Director Kelvin Moniz.

Shioi Construction Inc., recently revamped an interior facility to service the needs of Kauai's Veterans. The scope of work consisted of removing existing walls and extending the vicinity to provide additional office spaces, IT room and work areas. The leading challenge was the recycling and reuse of existing materials such as drywall, ceiling tiles, raised flooring, flooring tiles and door hardware. In addition to the "recycle & reuse" concept, electrical wiring needed to be relocated with a few new fixtures and updating data lines and outlets. The air condition system also needed to be rerouted to provide accommodation for the new areas being constructed. Nonetheless, the Project Team accomplished and successfully associated the existing materials with the new to provide a cohesive working space for the Veterans Center.

A team of talented ophthalmologist and optometrist visualized a "one-stop-shop" for the people of Kauai's eye care needs. It took a combined effort, with over two years of planning and design to begin construction on the Eye Care Center of Kauai. This single story 4,078 square feet optometry office complex is conveniently located in the new up and coming business district of Kauai, centrally located between Puhi & Lihue. The beautiful facility sits on a 26,134 SF  property with ample paved parking areas. The office has a total of 9 exam rooms, 4 Doctor's offices with the latest state-of-the-art optometry equipment and a large display floor to showcase the optical merchandise. The construction team put to use their carpentry skills to create a unique circular reception area, curved corridors, and lobby waiting area. Construction started in October  of 2013 and completed in 7 months just in time for an early summer opening.
