2027 Kickoff: Drawings, Deposits, and a Date That Survives January

Construction Tips • Dec 30, 2026

January is loud. The owners who get into the ground are the ones who used December to finish the boring pile: drawings, deposits, insurance certificates, and a start date that includes permit reality.

Bring these to the first meeting

A complete or near-complete set, the lease or work letter, a decision-maker who can sign, and a budget that includes GET and shipping.

A Pinterest board is not a set.

  • License check. BC 269830. Verify us. Verify anyone else too.
  • Long-lead list. Hoods, storefront, switchgear. Order or lose the quarter.
  • One schedule. Permits, construction, FF&E. Three calendars that meet.

What we will tell you

The first week we can actually start, not the week you hoped. If that is March, it is March.

JD Pacific Hawaii has opened commercial, restaurant, dental, and residential work on Maui since 2004. We would rather start you on a true date than a flattering one.

Aloha, and a schedule you can take to the bank.

If 2027 is your year to build, this is the week to put JD Pacific on the calendar. Bring the drawings. We will bring the dates.
