OUR FIRM
Established in 1961, LYON is a family-owned multi-discipline consultancy, headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii. LYON's work includes infrastructure-improvement projects, roads and highways, utilities, institutional facilities and housing developments. LYON's eight international offices provide a significant geographic reach, but our ongoing emphasis remains serving the unique needs and conditions of island-based work.
At LYON, we understand Island Life. Frank Lyon, drawn to Hawaii's natural beauty, settled his business in Honolulu in 1972. His son, Jim Lyon, now manages the company, instilling a company culture of respect, cooperation and understanding. LYON's mission is to improve the quality of life for local residents.
Our Clients
Local Style Business embodies hard work but also a softer communication – more listening, less talking. At LYON, we listen to our clients' needs and goals. Only by establishing trust and communication can LYON act in our clients' best interests. LYON's outstanding past performance is exemplified through our numerous long-term client relationships, many measured not in years, but decades.
Our Community
LYON and its staff have more than a half century of experience managing projects and engaging with local stakeholders throughout the State of Hawaii, the Pacific, East and South Asia, the Middle East and Africa. We understand and integrate the unique traits of each community into project solutions to achieve long-term technical, cultural and economic sustainability within project budget and scope.
Our World
LYON often works in the most isolated locales in the world, many boasting incredible biodiversity and rich indigenous culture. These communities are threatened by environmental and economic forces such as climate change, food scarcity and chronic poverty. LYON provides a range of services and tools to help community leaders make informed decisions for the sustainable use and conservation of their resources.
