In March 2020, a Hawaii contractor agreed to build a house, cabin, and treehouses worth millions of dollars on Mark Zuckerberg’s compound on the island of Kauai. Now the business is suing several companies affiliated with the Facebook billionaire, arguing they still owe the firm $133,726 plus interest for the luxury dwellings.
According to records filed with a lien in state court, Williams Construction was hired to erect a “Jungle House & Cabin” and “Tree Houses” on the 300-plus-acre property owned by Zuckerberg’s Pilaʻa International LLC and Pilaʻa Land LLC. (The filings indicate another firm, ORBT, LLC, acted as the agent of the Pilaʻa companies.)
Williams claims it “has not been paid for all of its labor, materials, and equipment as agreed,” despite sending a bill and demands for payment. The lien says Williams “has used its best efforts to contact ORBT to resolve the outstanding debts” but that the firm “has failed and/or refused to make payment in accordance with Williams’s requests.”
