About Us

Our team of two includes Andres Elzaurdia and Tai Mitchell. Both owners were raised here on Kaua'i, earned their B.S. of Mechanical Engineering from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and gained valuable knowledge working as engineers around California.

Our goal is simply to bring our engineering skill back home to best serve our community. Growing up here has imparted in us a respect for the people and place of Hawai'i. It's our honor to contribute what we can to better our community.

This is the experience we strive to provide. These are our central tenets. We work with you until you feel that we have met them satisfactorily.
