Resort Management Group

What Resort Management Group does

Resort Management Group (RMG) is a privately held, Hawaii-based landscape construction and maintenance firm founded in February 2003 by Max J. Yarawamai and Reed W. Kishinami after their collaboration at Kukio Golf & Beach Club. The company delivers end-to-end landscape services—pre-construction planning, construction, and ongoing maintenance—for luxury resorts, private residential clubs, and high-end residential properties across the Hawaiian islands. Named enterprise clients include Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa, Four Seasons Resort Ko Olina (via Nordic PCL and PBR Hawaii), Four Seasons Lanai (via Pulama Lana'i), Kukio Golf & Beach Club, Kohanaiki Club, and Park Lane at Ala Moana.

RMG's underlying technical capability is anchored by two dedicated in-house nurseries—a 15-acre facility in the Keahole-Kona Airport region of Kailua-Kona and a second nursery in Kihei, Maui—that supply plant propagation, storage, and staging for construction, maintenance, and a dedicated interiorscape division (orchids, ferns, palms, indoor plants). Service operations are delivered through four physical locations spanning Big Island, Maui, Oahu, and Lanai. The service portfolio spans Landscape Pre-Construction Services (project design, plant survivability analysis, infrastructure assessments, material procurement, contract document development), Landscape Construction Services (construction management, plant inspection, project scheduling), Maintenance and Post-Construction Services (ongoing maintenance programming, capital expenditure planning, facilities maintenance), and ancillary offerings including clearing and restoration, land use permitting and planning, and archaeological/historical site preservation.

The business model mixes one-time landscape construction project revenue with recurring maintenance contracts, producing a project-plus-subscription revenue profile. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with no public pricing tiers. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales: RMG pursues luxury resort operators, private club management, general contractors, architects, and high-end residential developers via direct relationship-driven engagement and a reputation supported by a portfolio of AIA Honolulu and BIA Hawaii award-winning projects. The company is privately owned by its two founding members and operates as an LLC with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or funding rounds.
