HLPA Mission
Our goal is to promote lumber products as a preferred
building material based on the proven track record of wood and
its achievement
of long-term performance success in Hawaii's construction
industry. This goal will be achieved by promoting lumber as a renewable
building material resource that provides benefits to the environment,
produces sound construction economics, creates architectural flexibility
and meets the highest structural engineering standards. We will
work to bring this positive message about lumber products to the
public and industry professionals on a consistent basis through
education and promotion supported by widespread industry stakeholders.
HLPA Goals

- To position lumber building materials as a high quality, environmentally
sound and cost effective choice.

a proven track record and achievement of long-term success in
Hawaii's construction industry.
- To increase the knowledge about the "greenness" of
lumber products in the minds of consumers, architects, contractors,
children and teachers.
- To speak-up for lumber products against the myths, half-truths
and exaggerations of competitive materials, with regards to
improving performance, durability and consumer safety.
