Grace Pacific

What Grace Pacific does

Grace Pacific LLC, headquartered in Kapolei, Hawaii, is the state's largest asphalt paving contractor and a vertically integrated construction materials producer. The company traces its origins to 1931 (Grace Brothers, Ltd.), entered paving in 1973, became Grace Pacific Corporation in 1984, and converted to an LLC in 2013. It owns and operates the Makakilo Quarry—one of only three operational quarries on Oahu—producing over one million tons of stone annually, and runs seven hot mix asphalt plants statewide generating over one million tons of HMA per year, supplying its own paving operations and external contractor customers across Oahu, Big Island, Maui, Molokai, and Kauai.

The product portfolio spans construction aggregate, hot mix asphalt, asphalt paving services, and concrete recycling, complemented by five wholly owned subsidiaries: Asphalt Hawaii (specialty asphalt binders including PG64-16 through PG76-22), G P Roadway Solutions (guardrails, barriers, traffic control products), G P Maintenance Solutions (crack sealing, seal coating, striping, and the MicroGuard corrosion/mold mitigation product introduced in 2002), Peterson Sign Company (custom signage since 1968), and Unistrut Hawaii (metal and fiberglass framing systems). Testing technicians hold certifications from the Department of Transportation, the Asphalt Institute, and the National Center for Asphalt Technology, and the company holds NAPA Diamond Achievement, Paving, and Quality commendations.

Revenue is generated through one-time project contracts and unit-priced material sales, primarily via competitive bidding for state, county, and federal highway and airport work (HDOT, FAA, City and County of Honolulu), supplemented by direct sales to private contractors via phone and email ordering. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The largest named customer relationships are the Hawaii Department of Transportation, with the H-1 westbound rehabilitation (Oct 2022 to May 2023) and the plastics-in-HMA sustainability pilot among recent marquee engagements. With over 550 employees, the company describes itself as Hawaii's largest paving contractor qualified for rigorous state highway work.
