About Us
We are located on the Big Island of Hawaii and have been in business since 1994. We have specialized in custom homes and designed, planned and managed several projects on the island. However we are not limited to custom homes as we also do commercial designs and drafting and offer many additional services.
Accent Design Services is a small business, locally owned and operated. The members of our staff have years of experience in the construction industry which cover many areas of the construction field. Diversity allows us to deal with the many issues of the building process, from designing to permitting and even constructing. A standard business practice that we try to do is work closely with the contractors so that we design with them in mind. They are the ones that will build it so we want to make it work for them which in turn works better for you.
Every builder has their own style or way of doing things. That doesn't mean that one way is better than the other, more of a preference. We want to make those preferences work for you. Many contractors have told us horror stories of plans that just did not work. Doing the job right is our goal.
A short story with a lesson: There was a carpenter who is ready to retire, he's been working for thirty years. So his boss comes up and begs him to do one last job. So the carpenter agrees, but he rushes and does all the short cuts he knows because he figures the quicker he finishes the sooner he can retire and fly to Hawaii. Upon finishing, he goes up the boss and says "I am done" the boss looks at him, gives him the keys and says "That's the keys to the house you just built, it's yours. My retirement gift to you."
"I found Accent Design Services to be both prompt and knowledgeable regarding the construction field and its many processes. I liked their attention to detail, sincerity, and focus on completion when following up with their customers. All in all a great outfit of whom which I highly recommend."
