Welcome • Aloha

Swan Builders of Hawaii is known for best-in-class custom water features, shotcrete application, natural (and naturalistic) stone formations, residential swimming pools, and concrete flatwork that ranges from utilitarian to artistic. Many of our creations are inspired by nature, others by architecture, or the site, even whimsy.

We create small and large waterfalls, pools, even entire recirculating streams for residential, commercial, and public spaces. Our shotcrete rivals the best, most reliable work found anywhere. Our work with natural stone, and with creating walls and realistic rock formations “from scratch,” is on a par with the best in the world. And we’re pleased to work with owners, architects, landscape designers, and engineers… or we can provide all the expertise required to deliver excellence in all our work.

We are licensed contractors based on Oahu, with decades’ worth of prestigious projects completed successfully on the Hawaiian islands and beyond. All the projects featured on this website are from our own portfolio. Feel free to ask us about any of them.

When it comes to investing in one’s home and lifestyle, a supplier’s promises and predictions mean little compared to the actual results they deliver. What’s the best predictor of the job someone will do for you? The work they already have done for others.

In this spirit, we welcome you to browse our many successful projects while you consider how we might help you to realize your own dreams. It will be a pleasure to explore how we can bring something special to your project.
