Moving Forward: Local Lumber Suppliers and Contractors Keep Calm Amidst Fluctuating Tariffs

Adam Bauer, our President and COO, was featured in Building Industry Hawaii's "Moving Forward" article about how local lumber suppliers are navigating tariffs on international imports, particularly Canadian lumber which accounts for 85% of U.S. softwood imports.

Adam explained that HPM is closely monitoring impacts on Canadian cedar products while watching for secondary effects on domestic materials. He outlined HPM's comprehensive response strategy, including working with vendor partners to find alternative sources, leveraging bulk purchasing, and continuously monitoring policy developments to anticipate changes.
