Designing, Building and MAnaging REAL ESTATE for the Big Island
Serving Hawaii's Big Island since 2001, Nicholson designs, builds and manages the creation of high quality luxury homes in the most exclusive locations on the Big Island.
Nicholson is a full service provider of design, building, and project management. Its design team offers clients the opportunity to work with one firm from start to finish. Nicholson sets the tone for every project by providing unparalleled supervision and project management. Throughout construction, Nicholson’s professional staff addresses every concern and detail that owners may have during the process, while complying with the regulations of the association and the County of Hawaii revised building code.
Nicholson’s work can be found in communities such as Kukio, Kohanaiki, Kaupulehu, 49 Black Sand Beach, Pauoa Beach, Kahakai Estates, Kona Vistas Hokulia, Kona Bay Estates, Makalei and other fine communities along the Kona Coast.
METHODOLOGY
Our approach to a project is quite simple: be efficient, well planned, smart working, and as thorough as possible. We take complete stewardship over the responsibilities empowered to us. We strive to develop a personal working relationship with the client and any professionals retained. Trust and accountability in all that we do is paramount.
We set the direction of a project through close supervision and steady management, tending every detail through construction in step with the project documents. The result: a house executed with care, and quality you can feel.
PHILOSOPHY
Teamwork allows us to enjoy the journey as we do what we do. We believe construction is not just about how we build as what we build, and we keep refining the way we work, project after project.
How we work
The end result is an extremely well constructed project with superb quality. Because Nicholson is adherent to schedule and budget, an owner can expect a sense of reward and satisfaction for having selected Nicholson LLC as the preferred licensed general contractor.

Manage
This is the work that shapes everything. We sequence every trade so the site moves like a tide, hold the budget and the vision you agreed to, and tell you the moment either one shifts.
