Proud to Serve our Nation’s Best through State-of-the-Art Recreation Facilities
Providing our service men and women with the best spaces for unwinding and connecting with family is high on our priority list. Our experience in designing recreational facilities for the government ranges from a renowned golf course in scenic Hawaii to a cutting-edge gaming and entertainment center built to very strict anti-terrorism force protection (ATFP) standards.
We can take a project from concept through to commissioning, or collaborate with various specialty partners while overseeing design or construction—whatever it takes to meet our clients’ needs with efficiency and innovation.
The Military Engineer magazine has published an article about the design-build renovation of the Ilima pool complex, part of an Armed Forces Recreation Center (AFRC) hotel resort located in Honolulu, Hawaii. The case study details the design and construction management challenges and solutions involved in this award-winning project.
The Stellar team was able to maintain the project budget and adhere to the project schedule while meeting the evolving needs of the end-users as well as the IMCOM G-9 management team. Being able to adapt to the ever-changing government requirements can be challenging, but the Stellar Team met all challenges effectively and with a can-do, team oriented philosophy.
In addition, the Stellar team's attention to quality control was outstanding. Not only did the team set the bar high, but it was a true team effort, from the superintendent all the way up to Stellar's vice president of design and vice president of construction, both of whom made trips to the island to ensure everything was running smoothly at the site.
In addition, it was reassuring to see that Stellar's quality control plan is personalized for each project — it isn't boilerplate or off the shelf. It reflects what the specific project requirements are. Stellar took full responsibility for quality control for all of its subcontractors. It was clear that Stellar's philosophy is that its subcontractors are part of the team, and that the owner shouldn't have to deal with several different entities.
Most importantly, the Stellar team was dedicated to meeting and even exceeding the high-quality standards set forth at the beginning of the project. There was no question or discussion — it was a given that Stellar stands behind its work and will do whatever it takes to ensure a quality product.
